to say 'i love you'

i'm not sure if i agree with the saying ''actions speak louder than words'', although my boyfriend's actions do mean alot, the things he says sometimes makes my heart beat faster, more so than his actions can. i think my partner says he loves me more than i do, i used to say it an awful lot but now he says it quite alot. i do still say it to him at least once a day, but usually when we spend the weekend together, he'll say it like once every couple of hoursit's very sweet actually.

I have a strong belief in " Tomorrow never comes" so i always see that i thank the person who has helped me, and say i love u to the person i love everyday .. No matter if the relation with the perosn is father, mother, brother, sister or husband .. i say it to all i care and love cos i believe tomorrow might never be mine and i just want them to know that i love and care for them ..

I think this is a great question. As I started reading it my first thought was "oh everyday, my husband better say it everyday" then as I continued reading the thoughts started changing. I really do agree with the actions speak louder than words and I think that you should be told that you are loved every single day. So putting the two together for me I guess I would have to say that you should DO something that says I love you for your special someone every day. However, I will always end my day with a kiss good night and an I love you. I have always had that fear that if I don't say it what happens if something happens and then I can't anymore. I know. paranoid.

Well I just hope I get someone in my life whom I can say these beautiful words.......well I am really unlucky I guess, whenever I like someone she is already committed to someone or she is seeing someone.......

So bad luck for me.......hope god blesses me with one real soon!!!!

that sentence is overly used by people these days, and i guess it sometimes looses its meaning...so i guess, the right way to express that phrase is only when you mean it, understand what it means, and when you're saying to someone whom you actually really love to be honest enough to tell how much you mean "I Love You."

I think men utter too romantic words during the initial period of the relationship. Later on he utters less. But his love might have grown inside him.

But he does not utter romantic words much after marriage.

But these words are truly magical. Every one should tell these words to his/her partner every day, infact many times in a day-that is the perfect life to live.

my girlfriend says it more than i, but i think she still knows that i do. well i hope so anyway. at the end of the day, anyone could say 'i love you' to anyone but its all about the way you behave which determines whether or not they will believe you

Action speaks louder than words, but its always nice to hear from your loved one or you tell your partner how important that person is to you by saying I love you. Its a motivation, to keep demonstrating not only by actions but by words. I see it like a child, you show them you love them by good deeds, but it is important to tell them how good of a job they are doing or how much you love them, its an inspiration for them to keep going and being a better person. Saying I Love you is a reminder that sometimes we need to hear to know how special you or that other person is. I tell my kids I love them all the time. It creates a special bondage, and as i tell them at times, they learn to say it at times too. It is a learned action, but it is important to know that our words should also be accompanied by our good actions.

hello oindy54,

To girls, these 3 words is very important. I guess is not how many times you said it that counts, however it matters when, where and how you say it. So you just need to know the moment to achieve the greatest effect. The only problem is not easy to get that moment right.

For guys likely telling them once a day, would be good. end the of a tired day.

My husband and I say those very special times at least 10 times a day. We never leave the house mad at each. And we always end every with "I love you!". We have both learned that you can never let these words go unsaid because it could be the last time that you talk. The last thing that we would want to live with is losing someone and not getting a chance to let that person know how you feel about them. We have learned the hard way!
