How Often Do You Tell Your Spouse I Love You

Do you tell your spouse that you love them at least once a week? Me and my husband try to tell each other that we love each other at least once a day. I feel that it is very important that you tell your spouse everyday because tomorrow is not promised to anyone. Just think if they were to pass and you didn't tell them or lets say that you haven't told them in a while or you got into a big fight. It would break your heart if they passed and you didn't get a chance to say those simple words I love you.
For those that have been married for over 5 years those are probably the ones that tend to forget. Why ? Because you get comfortable in the marriage and you just assume that the other knows. It's always easy to forget to say but its easier to say if you make a habit out of it.

I have been married over twenty years and we say I love you to each other at least two times a day. I try to be up when he leaves for work and I hug him and give him a kiss telling him to have a good day and I love him. Then when he comes home I always tell him I missed him. When we talk on the phone and the call has ended I always say I love you and goodbye. He also says he loves me too. I always tell my daughter good bye and have a good day and I love you. I think that you can not tell the people you care about I love you enough.

thats good. Just never get to busy to say it sometimes you can just throw it out there that really brings nice results in the end.

In September, my husband and I will have been married for 10 years. We do say "I love you" at least once a day, most days more. What I struggle with sometimes is, is it just something we say at the end of a conversation on the phone or before one of us leaves the house? It IS good to do that but I need to remember to say it other times, like when we hug or have a moment to ourselves, etc. Making a habit of it is definitely important.

congratulations on being married for so long I hope that me and my husband make it that long. And your absolutely right you should find other moments to say it because then it because a habit. Sometimes just walk up to him and say I love you and give him a kiss. Or if he is sitting down bend over him give him a kiss and say I love you . He will be shocked and say where did that come from. Let him know how important he is. It never hurts to hear the words ladies we like to hear it and guess what so do men.

It is very seldom for my husband and I to express that feeling whenever we are together. But when we are distance apart, we never miss to say that magic word. My husband is a kind of man who doesn't like to show his true feeling. For him, as his wife, I should know how he feels and how much he loves me without waiting for him to tell me everyday.

that sounds good but it is nice to hear how your spouse feels about you. Because your husband doesn't show his feelings does that mean that you can't show yours. You never know what kind of results you will receive if you don't try. Men can be stubborn and sometimes you have to give them that extra push.
My husband didn't show his feelings for a long time because he has been hurt so much in the past. I had to tell him and show him that I was not like those other women. I use to just shower him with love in all aspects of the way.
One day just because I brought him a dozen of roses and is was so shocked said that no one has ever done that before. Now on Valentines Day and my birthday he buys me two dozens of roses with a white rose right in the middle. Sometimes you have to show what love means.

Hi, My husband is in another state. He is not with me here. But without talking to each other and saying "I love you" to each other, we wouldn't sleep. He will record my voice saying "I love you" and he used to listen it every time. By GOd's grace, if he join us and keep us at a place. I will always tell him the words which he likes.

That is the most sweetest thing I have heard. He records your voice not that is original. I know it has to be hard to be in different states. But God will rejoin you when the time is right for that to happen. Just don't lose sight of your love until you shall join again. I tip my hat off to you because I honestly don't think that I could do that. So God bless you.

Who knows how many times my Sweetie and I say "I love you?" We usully lose count after the first 50 times. LOL We never ever get sick of telling eachother, or of hearing it. I tell him I love him every time I send him an e-mail, even if I'm just forwarding a MyLot discussion to him.;-)

My husband and I have always said "I love you" to each other several times a day. We'll page or call or text each other just to say it, and when we're together, we'll say little things like "guess what?" - and when the other person says what, we say "I love you". Or we'll ask, have I mentioned how much I love you lately? when the other person says no, we'll respond with cute little remarks like well I just did, or hhmmm, I guess I better tell you then. Just little things that make it more special, just ours and a great way to make each other smile and remind each other how much we love each other.
