Little Things Are Big Things in Love

Reading Time: < 1 minute

It’s not the grand gestures that keep love alive. It’s the little things.

A “How was your day?” asked with real interest.

A hand squeezed during a stressful moment.

A text that says, “I’m thinking about you.”

A back rub when no one asks for it. For couples only!

A sincere “thank you” after dinner. Couples too.

Little things.

But they matter in the equation of love.

While we are waiting for big moments to express our love, the little foxes are eating away the love, night after night.

Because love doesn’t fall apart overnight. It crumbles in the absence of the small, daily signs that say, “You still matter to me.”

And love doesn’t flourish from once-in-a-year surprises—it grows with consistent, quiet care.

Sometimes we wait for the perfect time to express love:

“I’ll take her out next month.”

“I’ll say something nice when things are less tense.”

“I’ll start being intentional when I feel more appreciated.”

But the best time is now.

More so, the grand surprises soon lose their bite/flavour in the absence of the daily small acts of love—acts that say, “I see you,” “I care about you.”

So, intentionally start working on the little, ordinary expressions of love. That may be the fix you need now.

Love is fed by the ordinary. The unplanned. The unseen.

And if you keep showing up in the small ways, the big moments will take care of themselves.

So, don’t wait for love to feel big. Make it small and meaningful—again and again.

That’s how hearts stay close. That’s how relationships last.

The little things are actually everything:

“LITTLE foxes spoil the vine.”

“LITTLE drops of water make a mighty ocean.”

Get intentional today!

I’m rooting for you.
