working so hard this past weekend and i miss being with my family. i miss being with my son, it was a rainy weekend so we miss running around under the rain. i miss talking and watching tv with my wife as well. so intead i send her a lot of text messages and sometimes i even call to hear her voice and to hear my sons voice. band members hearing my cinversation with my wife says, "wow you acted like i teenager, saying a lot of i love yous". i didnt get that. why do we have to cut saying i love you just because wwe have the relationship for a long time. i know a few people who still stay together as a couple but no longer say i love you. how can this be possible? do you have this kinds of relationships? or do you know someone who is in this kinds of relationship.

I think in the beginning of every relationship there are always plenty of I love YOUs but as time goes by they tend to get less and less. In your case you're fortunate that your I love YOUs are still on the high note. But thats just the way things are. People take each other for granted so instead of them saying I LOVE YOU they think well they already know that so why must I bother saying it all the time. Sadly the majority of relationships in existence dont have much I love YOUs in the them... so you keep it up and keep saying it!

Very true. I think people take kind words for granted, and I'll admit, even I'm guilty of that. I think a lot of people are. But then you hear these stories about people saying these things and how life is a lot easier when you do. Sometimes small words like "I love you" can make a big difference...

Hi se7enthbird! I think it's great you still say you love her. I don't think it's like a teen at all. I think that as long as you continue to say it you will continue to be happy and make your wife happy within your marriage. We all need to hear that and when we do it assures us and makes us feel good about our relationship. Don't worry about what the guys say. They only hope to understand what a wonderful marriage you have. Maybe they will someday.

i also have the usual marriage, with short comings and ups and downs. but we dont forget who we are, what we are and why are we together. it all come down to one thing. we love each other and that is the important thing. we dont let the short comings come to ruin the love that we have from the start. thanks a lot for the response

hey i like that kinda relation. you feel it then sya it, you feel it then show it. there is nothing wrong. i wish i have someone like that to me, but i think i need to wait a little more time lol. but i am so happy that you and your wife loves each other that much. some people only enjoys that first few years of the relation but you two are different. go bro go.

Hi se7, I wonder where you are? LOl..maybe I missed a lot of your post already. ANyway, I agree with you, a lot of people don't express their love by words compare when they were still dating and I don't get it. I even appreciate those old couple who are still exchanging their " i love you" often...

Saying 'I love you' to your wife dozen of times a day is perfectly alright! After all "LOVE" has such a powerful force to make you forgot what you said just while ago, it is also a very powerful word to convey your inner feeling toward her. Others may not understand it as not everyone has a loving heart and burning desire for own spouse after married for several years. Keep saying that if you really love her deeply, and let no one stop you from doing that.

they think saying i love you as freguently as me and my wife do is very teenager like. but i dont care its nice to feel young and to act young with my wife. atleast i know i will never grow old with my wife har har har. thanks a lot for the response my friend

its a good expression you have . but for me i not used to it in my daily life , i put into action rather than speak it. i feel awkward saying i love you, its my style only. im shy to tell, i know action speak louder than words.

for me it is not just a good expression. for me when you say it is an expression then it just comes naturally. but for me its with respect and longing to be with her. when i say the word i mean every word and letter of it har har har. thanks a lot for the response
