Love shows up in regular, everyday actions, especially when it’s the deep, lasting kind.

When a woman is genuinely in love, you’ll notice it in the little, practical things she does.

From cheering her partner on to ensuring their comfort needs are met, it’s often the small things that signify how deeply she feels. 

So, without further ado, here are 9 things women do in relationships when they’re madly in love:

1) She remembers the small details

Here’s a confession: I’m that woman who remembers her partner’s favorite color, their go-to coffee order, or the name of their childhood pet.

Is it a little over-the-top? Maybe. But it’s also a clear sign of deep love.

You see when a woman is madly in love, she pays attention to those small quirks and details that make her partner who they are.

She notices the little things that no one else sees.

And more often than not, she gives the best gifts. She’s been closely watching, and when it comes to treating her partner, it’s always meaningful and personal. 

2) She makes sacrifices

This one hits close to home for me.

I remember when my partner got an amazing job opportunity that required him to relocate to a different city.

Without thinking twice, I packed up and moved with him because his happiness was my happiness too.

When a woman is deeply in love, she is willing to make sacrifices – big or small – for her partner’s happiness, comfort, or success.

It’s not about losing herself in the process, but rather showing how much she values the relationship.

With that in mind, love should never be one-sided. Sacrifices should be mutual and not at the cost of losing oneself.

After all, love is about growing together.

Now let’s move on to the next point…

3) She invests time in their interests

It might not be her scene, but if her partner loves a certain hobby, she’s right there by their side, giving it a go.

This doesn’t mean she suddenly becomes a die-hard football fan or a jazz enthusiast overnight. She just wants to understand and share what makes her partner tick.

For example, my friend Leanne is more of a city gal, while her husband loves the outdoors.

She goes camping with him once or twice a year – not because she particularly loves it – but because it means so much to him.

And during those couple of days away, they get a chance to reconnect and spend time together, so for her, it’s totally worth it. 

So, if your girlfriend or wife does the same for you, know that she’s head over heels and willing to do whatever it takes to make you happy. 

4) She becomes their biggest cheerleader

Life is tough, and we all need someone in our corner.

A woman deeply in love becomes that person for her partner.

Regardless of the issue, whether it’s an important presentation or a difficult conversation with a friend, she’s there, cheering them on from the sidelines.

She believes in their potential even when they don’t.

She supports them when they feel like giving up.

Ultimately, she’s there by their side, reminding them that they’re not alone and that she’s proud of the achievements they make, no matter how big or small. 

And that leads us on to our next point:

5) She supports their dreams

When my partner was contemplating a career change, it was risky and there were a lot of unknowns.

But, I knew how much this meant to him. So, I stood by his side, supporting his decision and encouraging him to chase his dreams.

The truth is, a woman madly in love doesn’t just support her partner’s dreams, she embraces them as her own.

Whether it’s a career change, starting a new business, or even running a marathon, she’s there, every step of the way.

She listens to their plans, offers advice when asked, and is their biggest source of motivation.

Because in the end, seeing them fulfill their dreams brings her immense joy.

6) She prioritizes their comfort

When a woman is really in love, she cares a lot about her partner’s comfort.

She pays attention to the small things that make them happy and does them with joy.

She tries to make their home a cozy place where her partner can relax and feel loved. 

In simple acts, like making a special breakfast or being a good listener after a tough day, she shows her love and care.

Often, she’ll be working quietly behind the scenes to make sure her partner has everything they need, a thankless job, but one she does with pleasure because she wants to see her partner happy.

If that isn’t a sign of love, what is? 

7) She forgives and forgets

This one is hard, even for me. No one is perfect, and we all make mistakes.

But a woman deeply in love has the capacity to forgive and forget.

She doesn’t let her partner walk all over her, but she does acknowledge that they’re human and rather than hold onto grudges, it’s best to resolve and move on.

Ultimately, she’s willing to work through the issues and let go of past mistakes for the sake of the relationship.

8) She plans for the future 

When a woman is madly in love, she often begins to envision a future where she and her partner build a life together.

She might start conversations about mutual goals, aspirations, and even the challenges they might navigate together in the years to come.

Planning for the future also means making intentional choices.

Not just her own individual path, but the collective journey they’re on together.

This might include decisions related to career, finances, and possibly even where to live, always taking into consideration how these choices will impact them as a couple.

9) She shares her world with them

Lastly, when a woman is madly in love, she lets her partner into her world.

She shares her deepest thoughts, her biggest fears, and her wildest dreams.

In other words, she allows herself to be vulnerable.

Because love isn’t just about two people being together; it’s about two lives intertwining into one.

So there you have it – eight things women do when they’re madly in love.

Remember, every woman is unique and expresses love in her own unique way.

So don’t worry if you can’t tick all these boxes. The most important thing is that you feel loved and appreciated in your relationship.
