People Share The Non-Romantic Ways Their Partners Show Love And We’ve Never Felt More Alone

There are plenty of things you and your partner do for each other on a daily basis that you don't even realize are making your relationship stronger, so one woman on Twitter decided it was time to draw attention to these little acts of love that are often overlooked.

Grand romantic gestures are nice, but you can't live your life off of them, and Twitter users were ready to share all the ways that their partners make their lives better on the daily.

Even if our partner couldn't draw, if they were willing to put in the effort that this woman's partner does, we'd be pretty darn happy. It's just an added bonus that the drawings are actually cute.

This is basically the only quality we look for in a relationship. If our future husband doesn't stop to pet dogs while we're walking, or slow down the car for us to see a puppy, we're going to have to find a new man.

The primary ingredient in chili is beans, so this man must seriously love his partner if he's willing to pick out all of the beans before serving her dinner. That's commitment we could only dream of.

If you can find someone that has the same taste in music as you, you have a guaranteed concert buddy for the rest of your life. You can still drag them to concerts they don't want to go to, but it's better if they don't hate it.
