I think women are, again generalizing here, natural caregivers. So I think a lot of the reason men want a woman in their lives in the first place is because they know they will most likely be cared for.

My ex was always grateful to me for replacing his worn out clothes (and similar tasks), because he wasn't good at doing those things for himself. He was grateful for my feminine perspective when we talked about his feelings. And he was grateful that I was a touchy feely person because it made him feel loved when I wanted to hold his hand or have his arm wrapped around me.

These things aren't to toot my own horn or anything, but rather to say that I think there are fairly simple ways that women make their partner feel loved and valued. I'm sure I could make a similar list for women (and maybe I will), but I think it's about finding balance. We aren't necessarily good at the exact same things, but overall the desire to make our partner feel valued is a good, normal, and healthy trait to exhibit.
