Showing interest in your wife can significantly contribute to a happy, fulfilling marriage. Here are a few strategies that you can employ:

1. **Listen Actively**: When she talks, give her your full attention. Show that you value what she is saying by providing feedback, asking follow-up questions, and acknowledging her feelings.

2. **Surprise Her**: Small surprises can mean a lot. It could be her favorite dessert, a handwritten note, or anything else you know she loves. This shows that you think about her even when she’s not around.

3. **Ask About Her Day**: A simple inquiry about her day can show that you care about her daily experiences. Make it a habit to talk about each other’s day regularly.

4. **Show Interest in Her Hobbies**: Engage with her hobbies and passions. Even if you don’t share the same interests, you can still ask questions, learn about them, and occasionally participate.

5. **Help Out with Chores**: Helping with chores around the house lightens her load and shows that you appreciate her work.

6. **Plan Dates**: Surprise her with dinner reservations at her favorite restaurant, plan a weekend getaway, or arrange a quiet movie night at home. This keeps your relationship exciting and shows you’re eager to spend quality time with her.

7. **Encourage Her**: Be her biggest fan. Encourage her to pursue her dreams, goals, and interests.

8. **Be Affectionate**: Small gestures of affection can go a long way in showing your love. Hold her hand, hug, kiss, or touch her arm when talking. 

9. **Communicate Openly**: Keep an open line of communication. Discuss your feelings, dreams, plans, and even fears with her.

10. **Remember Important Dates**: Birthdays, anniversaries, or the date of your first meeting; remembering and celebrating these can show that you cherish your shared history.

Remember, it’s essential to maintain these behaviors consistently. Showing genuine interest and care is a long-term commitment, not just a one-time effort.

Sure, here are some ideas of tokens and gestures of touch to express your affection:
