During the course of your marriage you will undoubtedly experience trials and tribulations. There may be times when you don't want to or don't know how to express love to your spouse.
When my husband and I got married, during our ceremony the pastor gave each of us a beautiful long stemed red rose to be our first gift exchanged between each other as husband and wife. The red rose has always been a symbol of love.
When those times occur, go get a single red rose or more if you like and place it in a spot that your spouse will notice. Even when times are hard, it will let your spouse know that you still love them and are willing to go through the hard times together. Even if your spouse doesn't respond favorably or even acknowledge your gift in the natural it will touch their spirit at some level.
Many times it is what we do more than what we say. It may take time for your spouse to respond, but we must stay the course and continue to express love to our spouse. Even when your marriage is going through a high point, leave the gift of the red rose. If you only do it when times are tough, your spouse may begin to suspect things are not as good as they think when they do receive a rose.

Marriage Take Three
God created the institution of marriage between man and woman in the book of Genesis. Therefore without having God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit in your marriage, it will open the doors for strife, stress, worldly ideologies, human nature, and wilderness.
Come together in prayer as a married couple on a more than regular basis. Although as God's children we have our own personal relationship with the trinity, it is important to come together in prayer. The Bible teaches in 2 Corinthians 6:14, " Do not be unequally yoked together with unbelievers." If this is true then your spouse will already know the power of prayer and will want to come together with you in prayer.
If your spouse is not equally yoked, or doesn't believe in the power of prayer. Let them know that you are continuing to pray for them. You don't have to go into great detail. If fact, allow the power of God to rebuke, correct, and restore them as He sees fit. If you get in the way, you can hinder their relationship with God. Let God be God, not you.
We must always know that God hears our prayers. However, remember in Psalms 37:4, " Delight yourself in the Lord and He will give you the desires of your heart." I can't think of a better way than to develop your relationship and delight yourself in God than through prayer.
