When it comes to relationships, we all want to feel loved and appreciated by our partner. Some people need to be shown constant affection through hand-holding, cuddling, forehead kisses, words of affirmation, and kind acts while some of us are fine with just knowing that this person cares for us and can do without all the extra displays.
