Showing your man some love
Everyone feels love differently. For some people physical expressions of love are necessary for them to feel loved. For others it is spending time together that makes them feel loved. For others it is all about the words, the tones of voice used, etc. So, if you want to show your man some love, the first thing you have to remember is that men and women do not always feel loved the same way.

Show your man love through physical affection. Both men and women alike feel love through physical affection. However, it is important to remember that sex is not enough. While sex can show love, it often only shows hormones and lust. Other forms of physical affection may do more to show love. For example, holding hands, touching, cuddling while watching a movie, kissing them goodbye each morning. Of course, if a man is denied sex for too long, they may take that as a sign that you do not love them. So, just because it does not have to be the main focus, does not mean that it is unimportant. The point is, men need all kinds of physical affection, from hugs, kisses, a butt pinch every now and then, to other intimacy.
Show your man love through conversation. Conversation is your way of showing that you are interested in their life, not just their body, or their money, but in their thoughts, experiences, and feelings as well. However, you have to be careful that your conversations are not limited to "how was your day?" Discuss any and everything that interests you and him. Men are not as big of talkers as women are, in general, so remember that while he needs to know you are interested in them intellectually and mentally, they may not need to talk all night long. Just make sure you give them a chance to talk, and that you ask the questions that invite and inspire conversation with them.
Show your man love through time spent together doing what THEY love. Spending time with your man is wonderful, but if it is always spent doing things you love, and that they tolerate, they may feel like they are showing you that they love you, but not the opposite. So, it is your turn. Buckle down and watch a football game with them, and get into, pay attention to the plays, and learn some of the jargon, so that they can complain to you after about a stupid call, or bad move by the QB, and you know what they are talking about. When a woman takes an active interest in something a man enjoys, or at least tries to, he feels like she cares enough to want to spend time with him in things he likes.
If you can do these three things, it won't matter what love-type they are, they will know you love them, and as a result they will show you love in return, which will lead to stronger, happier relationships. So, it is a win-win for you, start today!
