My husband and I have been together for 23 years, and it is definitely the regular little things that keep us reminded of each other’s affection. I am usually up first, and always take him a coffee in bed; at night, I always go into the bathroom and find my toothpaste on my toothbrush. When we walk to our local cinema, I notice that he stands back to let me go first where the footpath narrows and he always deseeds the tomatoes because he knows I prefer them that way.

Before we became a couple, I regularly used to write my (now) wife’s name on the steamed-up shower screen which, looking back, seems a little teenage obsessive. Now married, having been together for five years, I continue to do it every morning with a love heart next to it, so that whenever she goes in the bathroom after me she feels remembered and loved.
