5. Do stuff.
Wash the dishes. Fold the laundry. Change the sheets on the bed. Rinse your plate and put it in the dishwasher. Mow the yard. Give the kids a bath. Search for the missing socks. We handle this junk all the time, you guys, and you’re guaranteed second base at minimum if you would do some of these things unprompted from time to time.
Most of the time we don’t ask because we don’t like to nag, but seriously, just vacuum the living room or sweep the kitchen. Coming home to a clean house is powerful aphrodisiac.
6. Encourage her.
It’s so easy for women to lose themselves in the girlfriend/wife/mother roles. Remind your girl of the things she’s really good at and encourage her in her hobbies. Give her a gentle nudge out the door to go hang with her friends.
Make sure she has space to grow on a personal level that has nothing to do with you, and don’t feel threatened by positive change. She had an entire life before you, and she might need to be reminded of that sometimes. You might need to remind yourself of that sometimes.
