There is no need to wait for a special day to surprise your spouse. Your wife will feel special through the small surprises you give often. Do good and useful things to increase the sense of love between the two of you, for example:

• buy her favorite food through a delivery service
• suddenly hug her from behind and kiss her
• leave a love note on her dressing table
• send a short message with words of longing or “I love you” with a heart emoji during work hours

Therefore let us pursue what brings peace and what builds one another up. – Romans 14:19
