We love someone so deep and he loves us too. We are in the happy phase of our lives and enjoying every bit of it. Do we need to thank our lovers that they love us also? For me it is not necessary to thank them because love is something that we give unconditionally. It is a natural feeling that is being felt by the other person loving you and you should not thank him or her for that. Thank the person for the actions that he or she is doing for you to express love. And not to thank him for loving you. Do you agree guys?

Loving someone is not asking that person or forcing him to love you. It's not a thing that you just simply give it to a certain person and the person that receive it will then say thank you. Love is a special feelings that takes enough time to feel it thoroughly. For me no need to say thank you for loving me but the right word you must say is thank you for trusting me.

Thank you so much for the nice response. I absolutely agree that we do not force people to love or even like us. It is a natural feeling being felt to someone and we should not thank them for that. Thank you is being said for the act of being grateful for the acts of love being shown or given to us. Have a great day.

I think love is a feelings that cames suddenly in us...in the matter of love boyh of lovers have own feelings...which he/she can't express to anyone expect the loving one..."Thanks" is that word which is not affortable in love...as per my view if love came from heart there we need to thanks our lovers for being with us...you can't get a small space to tell sorry....am i right??

Yes you are right. Even the definition of love is so vague. Thank you for agreeing with me. We say thank you for the act of love being shown or given to us and not say thank you for feeling the love being meant for you. Have a great weekend.

saying "thank you" to the person who love you, is such a great way of letting him know how grateful you are that your being loved by the person you love. not all people are lucky enough like you that is being loved by the one you love. some of us here are not as lucky as you. ;)

I will say thank you for the deeds that is being done to SHOW the LOVE for me. I will not say thank you for the feeling of LOVE for me. It is a feeling that is being felt naturally. Thank you for the nice response. I am thankful a lot of people love me as friends. We should treasure it. Have a great weekend.

First of all, "thank you" should be said to the one you are really grateful for. We thank God each and every day because we are in deep gratitude for the opportunity to live each and every day of our lives. We thank Him for we are GRATEFUL for the blessings that He has given and will be giving. Not only is "thank you" appropriate for gratitude, it's also an expression of the appreciation of someone else' action. I believe LOVE is an ACTION word, and if you appreciate that LOVE, I believe there is a must to thank him for that. Those little or small things that we do are big investments in relationships. Little and simple things matter in a relationship, so it's best to express your appreciation more often and one way to communicate and express it, is to simply say "thank you"... because, you know that beyond such a "Thank you" is the thought behind your back and feeling in your heart saying -- "I LOVE YOU TOO"... God bless you aaronfyzeon! God bless your relationship! :D

Thank you so much for the both of you for sharing your nice responses. I will say thank you for the actions being done to me because my lover loves me. It is the actions that he shows to prove his love to me. But I will not thank a person for loving me because it is something you feel naturally and not tell him to feel that he should love me. Well if happens that I tell the person to love me and he did then that is the time I should thank him because he did what he was told and that is being grateful for the thing he did. Have a great weekend.

i think some one loves you because of his/her reasons, so no need to thanks but we can thank God to have that person in life.

I think love is unconditional. And in there is no chance to say thanks my partner for loving me. But i must say thanks, when i fall down in a deep trouble, and my love always stay with me, stand for me. I say thanks for understand me.

Thank you for the nice response and agreeing with me. We say thank you for the deeds or acts of love being given or shown to us and not for the feeling. I do not beg them to love us. It is being felt naturally by them and by us as well so no need to say thank you. Have a great weekend.

Thanking someone does not necessarily mean that she is asking for thanks. You are just saying that you're grateful and blessed that you have her. I am currently entering my 4th month with someone and let me tell you, I always thank her everyday, because if you take a good look at our situation, she would be better off without me. Her parents don't like me and I pretty much don't have any future. Her being with me, gives me the strength and the inspiration to be all that I can be for our possible future.

Hi aaronfyzeon, I don't think is necessary to verbally thank another person for loving you, as if you don't deserve it or that you are grateful that they chose you. Love is an emotion that we all feel and hope that is is shared with someone we love. When we find love (true love)we can thank God, the gods, the stars, etc. that we found someone to share our lives with. We show the other person how much we love them and appreciate them being by our sides by the way we treat them and by the things we do for them. Words are wonderful to hear, but actions are better evidence to backup those words.

Hi dear, Yes, mostly it seems that people love each other knows how better they does it. We love so many people like parents, sister bothers, other siblings, friends, colleagues and of course – the person who may be in love with and the like. Even though it is not so common that we pronounce by saying, love you, I love you, etc. But we can see this way of greenings are still in practice in certain western countries. While parting, while meeting for the first time in a day, while getting up in the morning, especially h/w, and feeling towards children are common. But I think it is just their custom and habit of saying. Normally, in other cases, I think we need not to say, because it is understood and all the people involved in it can realize how much they love them each other, whoever it may be. So, in general, saying it and a repetition of the same on unwanted places and situations may be some kind of expression only and what you say in this regard is correct. Best regards, Thank-s

I think its a good way to show your appreciation to the person you love. And i think its romantic. I sometimes have the urge to thank my love if he does something and it reminded me why i choose to be with him. Its like thanks for being you and allowing me to be part of your life. In a way its a privilege to see a side of that person and to show that person your personal side that nobody in the world knows. In that I say thanks

I agree 100%! Thanks should be given to actions inspired by love, but is kind of silly if you are thanking someone for loving you. Although they say love is a great gift, it's not like it was really "given." Most people cannot help but love someone, so that love needs no thanks. You can be grateful that you are loved, but to thank someone for loving you just doesn't sound right at all. Because what do you say to someone who has just thanked you for loving them? "You are welcome!"??? Sounds quite strange doesn't it! So, for the acts done out of love, okay, say thank you. But for the love itself? It might be more appropriate if you simply say that you are so grateful for their love. This expresses your gratitude for being loved by them, but avoids the somewhat uncomfortable connotations of saying thank you for loving me. Of course everyone is different. So, in the end, you simply have to choose to say whatever you are most comfortable with.

IT is not actually an obligation, I suppose. It's so happened that it becomes a voluntary feeling.

Because i got no experience in relationship yet..i guess I'll do to say thank you for everything she did for me, sacrifice for me and going through with me in my wedding anniversary every year also give her big kiss. Anyway, that was just my imagination and i will do this if i got a chance.
