For Christian country singer Carrie Underwood, romance is not defined by extravagant acts of love. For her, the simplest things that a man does for his wife are the ones that truly count.

Underwood told CMT News that whenever her husband Mike Fisher takes over her chores, she feels like a million bucks.

"Honestly," she revealed, "I'm the kind of person that's like, 'Aww, you changed the light bulb in the bathroom. Thank you.' Or 'You took the trash out. Aww. Oh, my gosh, you emptied the dishwasher, yay! I don't have to do it now.'"

"I like that stuff. Everyday stuff," she added.

Underwood said she appreciates these little acts of romance more because it only proves that Fisher is being considerate of her welfare. "Somebody's thinking, 'I'm going to do this' ... gives me free time," Underwood said.

Of course, Underwood said she still appreciates the occasional date nights that she and her husband enjoy. "We'll go to dinner, and it will be nice," she said.

Earlier, Underwood revealed that the secret to their happy marriage is that they treat it as a partnership. Even though their first son Isaiah Michael came into the picture last year, she and her husband make it a point to value each other through all of their ups and downs.

"Your marriage does change a lot when you have a baby — it's a whole new dynamic," she told PEOPLE. "Neither one of us had really been baby people or been around a ton of babies. We're learning together."

"You have to make it a point to not lose yourselves as a couple," she continued. "There's so much going on, it becomes easy to not focus on your marriage anymore. Communication is key, checking in and making sure that your needs are being met is something that I feel that everybody could probably do more of."
