Talk.
Don’t try to change things alone. Do it as a couple. Tell her how you feel. Be honest but not combative. Ask her how she feels about your relationship. Then let her know how you feel. Explore options together to help improve your relationship. Learn to communicate and listen carefully to each other’s needs. Communicate even about little things as they come up. Avoid assuming you know what the other is thinking or feeling. And avoid taking things personally. You need to allow each other to be honest with each other without things blowing up into an argument. After all, we all have things we need to work on so try to view it as looking out for each other. People, especially those we love, can see things about us that we fail to see about ourselves, both good and bad.
Adam brought up a good suggestion in bringing home little surprises now and again to keep things impulsive and fun. And Payne is right that sometimes women just like to be held and know they’re loved. It's a form of reassurance. Heck, we can all use that from time to time.
The key is to invest in your relationship. Dive in. Make it the best it can be. If you learn to communicate effectively as a couple now, when your relationship is still relatively new, then it will make things much easier as you go along.
Good luck to you! (Great avatar by the way)
