what if "I love you" was taken away?

I don't rely on "I love you"....they are just words and often said easily by habit. I show that I love and care by
being kind and considerate. I think of the other person and what I can do to make their life more comfortable and us closer.

Love can be given and shown more in action than in words. Gestures of caring like preparing food and taking care of his health, preparing the clothes he's to wear. Understanding his mood and shortcomings, being patient and loyal.

A big hug or embrace and kisses more than anything compensate for the words I love you.

i wish and i'll pray for you both to be together again.

i used to write to one of my girl friend "Cheqooooooo" inorder to say i love you.

i had an idea of saying i love you in russian i.e. "ya lo bilo tibiya"

you can invent yours if you have such a desire and desperation in your heart.

You don't really need those three words to convey how you feel. Actions usually speak louder than words and are more sincere. Depending on whose point of view we're looking at.

I used to do this with my ex. He loved peanut butter and anything chocolate-y so much so that whenever we saw each other I would always come prepared with either of the two. I would send them text messages letting them know that I'm thinking of them. I write poems for them. Sneak my phone in class just to be able to text them. It's the tiniest things that actually tell them how I feel.

love needs no words,love is a feeling,which can be expressed with out words too,action speaks more than words,a warm hug and kiss tell's everything

For me, empty words are useless so I don't mind if 'I love you" would be taken away.
As a mom, we serve our family in every which way that we could - from our husband to our kids and even our inlaws. Like you, I also value communication a lot since I want to know what's going on with them and we could at least let each one know that we care and thinks about them. For my little children, bearing them for nine months and enduring tha pain or labor and delivery made me show them that they are so important to me.

The words are easy. I've had partners in the past who were great at saying the words, but still treated me like garbage.

I do tons of small things for husband every day, and he does things for me. Even something as small as a neck rub can make me feel closer to him. We work in the same building, so we rearrange our schedules just so we can have coffee together every day.

I find that treating a person with love and respect is just as good. I don't have to ever be told I love you. I want to be respected and treated like a human being. My concerns to be met and my trust never doubted. I do have to ask this though. You have to have his kids in your him while he is away. This must have been arranged before he left. But how does that work out with the mother. I think it's great they get to have you to love them as well. Do you have any kids?

I find that phrase hard to say, as i believe feelings are from within and you cannot define them in words. They are just feelings.
So in answer, i wouldn't be any the wiser of those three word no longer did exist.

"I love you" is simply that. It's words and at one time I was told by one of my friends in the UK that Americans throw it around all to often. I tend to agree with her.

The way I show the one's I love them is simple. Surprises in their lunch once or twice a week. Running my boyfriend's bath water so that when he gets home he can soak. Holding onto each other. Holding hands as we walk through the stores. For my kids, I simply show them my love by letting them know they can talk to me about anything, keeping them happy by taking them to the park and other places.

You never know when the ones you love will be taken for you so show them love instead of telling them it.;)
