Men want to be loved. Women want to feel loved; that is where the game of love begins. Couples can only sustain their relationship or marriage if they master the art of love.
In loving someone, there are things that we do to make them feel loved. These may be gestures or actions directed towards them to appreciate and assure them that they are loved.

Mistakes happen when trying to show someone you love and appreciate; some become turn-offs. It is good to understand your partner’s personality and likes and dislikes before taking any actions to spice up your love.
Jessica Opare Saforo, a Ghanaian media personality and relationship analyst, has shared seven gestures that make women feel loved. Here are the magic gestures:

1. Handwritten love letter
Many men wrote letters to high school girlfriends. This is still a perfect way to show a woman that you really love her. You can do it through notes, drawn flowers, quotes and funny messages left in places like the kitchen or wardrobe. Be as creative as you can.
2. Genuinely caring about your lover’s day
Try as much as possible to call your woman and ask her how her day has been. Ask her about the challenges she may be facing and add some teasing words like ‘I miss you.’
3. Physical affection
This does not mean physical intimacy. A simple touch or massaging of a woman’s hand or feet makes them feel loved and special. Be sure that the person likes being touched so that it doesn’t become a turn-off.

4. Remember the details
The majority of women dislike men who forget details of things that matter to them. Be keen while talking to your woman and understand what matters to then. If you pay attention to details, you make the women feel that you are unique, which can easily enhance their feelings towards you.
5 Random surprises
Buy her a lovely dress when she least expects it. Does she like a certain brand of cake? Buy it for her and surprise. She will feel loved and will advance your connection with her
6. Make her feel included
Involve her in your activities, plans, family and friends. Make her feel comfortable in your space. In some instances, allow her to decide on some issues, e.g. the sofa set you want to buy.

7. Express concern for her safety
Check on her to ensure she gets home safe when you part ways. Protect her whenever people harass her. It doesn’t have to be messy and chaotic because some women hate dramas.
These gestures apply to all women in a man’s life except one’s ex. This also comes with reservations depending on their personalities and preference. It might be your best friend, your mother, colleague, girlfriend or wife.
