For me I believe actions speak louder than words, I mean people can say it a thousands of times but if their actions do not show that they care and love you than those words mean nothing. It does not have to be something big many times those little things like just being there and listening is what counts the most. Also, an unexpected little surprise or just something small that shows the other person that you were listening understand and truly know them really can be a powerful way to illustrate your love. If anyone remembers Winnie the Pooh think of the time Roo wanted to give Kanga a Valentine's Day gift. His friends thought of over the top ways to say I love you but they end--up not working; then Roo thought of the simplest gester that was so sweet and sincere.

Words are nice to hear as long as they are backed up by a persons actions. Words, actions, and non-verbal cues most all be congruent in saying the same message. There is more to communicating than just words. Especially in the United States, we get so concerned about the words that are used and forget about the rest of context of communication. I know some people that place more weight on words; however, I personally place greater weight on words that are backed up by one's own actions communicating the same message.

I dont want a big, flashy show of love. For me, it is all about the "little things" that we take for granted. Everyday, several times a day, my husband tells me he loves me. It is wonderful to hear, but it wouldnt mean nearly as much if he didnt kiss my forehead before he leaves the house (even when he thinks I am still sleeping), call me during the day just to see if I am alright, bring me that frappacino that he has to go out of his way to get, and kiss me again before he goes to sleep.
I think the biggest expressions of love in any type of relationship, is doing things that make the loved one feel special. My husband is the type of man that appreciates physical expressions(get your minds out of the gutter, LOL). He likes the cuddling on the couch and holding hands while watching t.v. The unexpected hug and thank you. He really appreciates a t-bone steak. So, I do these things for him.
Basically, it all boils down to just showing them that you appreciate them for who and what they are. Give them all the respect and praise due them.

kyle thank you. Marriage and relationships are alot of work. It is important to remember in the difficult times what it was that made you love your mate to start with.
I thank my God everyday for my husband. I could not have bought a more perfect one for me with all the money in the world.

I believe that it takes an extremely strong person to express his/her love for another person. You have to find the courage to conquer your fears.
