2) Deeds ~ I make it a point to do one thing a day for my wife. A card, a note, an email, a flower, post on her myspace, a pm, cook her her favorite meal, clean up and give her a get out of jail free card for not cleaning.
3) Words ~ I always make it a point to say I love you, I never yell if we disagree and thing would be heated I ask for a break think things through and express my opinion calmy without haste words.
4) Date ~ With four kids owning my own business, her working full time and doing college you'd think that might be hard but every week we get out just the two of us to see a movie, hit the beach, sit down at a nice place to eat or where ever we like to go out to.
hope this helps

But would like to add..We have 4 kids also and by the time you get done at night you feel as if you have nothing left..
We can't always go out in the evening, so we have a "coffee date"...He is on his way home from work and I will meet him for coffee...We just sit an talk just the two of us..We do this at least once a week.
Forgive me if this was posted already, but something we do is knowing how busy we both are, we will just send little reminder texts.."love you whole bunches" or "love you beautiful"...things like that...makes me smile everytime I get one..
