My beautiful husband is not, nor has he ever been a touchy feely sort of man, oh he will hug or kiss if I ask him but on his own he probably wouldn't think of it, but that's ok we have been married 53 years (I am 69, he is 75) so I am totally cool with it.
I am very overweight, have osteoarthritis in my knees and hips and don't get around very well so showering can sometimes be a tad exhausting for me, so I have been tossing up the idea of getting a shower chair and a hand rail to help out. I had casually mentioned it in passing , just a thought at this stage.
Today my man had to go to the hardware store to get something manly, so off he went, when he came back I could hear him messing around in his workshop, then he wandered upstairs and I could hear him fiddling around in my bathroom. He had only gone and got me a chair and installed a railing for me.
That is my definition of love, not flowers or chocolates, a chair and a railing, oh and to top it off I got an unsolicited hug as well.
Today was an awesome day

That's lovely, Kartush. He's a keeper! 
As you say, love isn't just words or showy gestures - it's in the little things, and the actions which really mean a lot.
