I'm not very good at showing affection.
In all ways. Physically emotionally and verbally.
By taking her out on fun mini-day-trips, among other things
Verbally definitely. I always say I love him and how thankful I am to have him. Also physically, just being close, holding hands, cuddling
I try to keep our house spotless, his clothes ironed and hung up, run his bath water before work sometimes, clean the inside of his truck, cook for him, I keep the yard up, wash our porch, I try to keep our toddler quiet when he's sleeping (not always successful) I let him play his game often with friends (at their house and ours) even though they disgust me!
I was never an affectionate person, trying to work on that...

Normally in bed
Tell her everyday that I love her and how much I do
I watch the other person or stare actually I smile at them and I hug and kiss a lot.
Kissing my iPhone.

I do little things for him, even if he hasn't asked me to. Like sewing buttons back on his clothes, rubbing his feet when I can tell his day's been long, and making sure we never run out of his favorite cookies.
I tell him that I live him, I caress him an touch him.
Verbally since we can't see each other right now
Just try to always be there for him, whether it's conversation he needs or just to come home and find a clean house. :)
Smile every time I think of her.
I say it and I'm very sexual and just a touchy person period which oddly does nothing for him
