" You can write a new reason each day and present it to your significant other the same day, or gift a box or booklet of 365 reasons why you love him or her on a special occasion (like New Year's Day, Valentine's Day, your anniversary, or his or her birthday). You can have them look through it either all at once, or have them read only one reason each day of the year (talk about the gift that keeps on giving!).
