Somebody said that "I love you" should not be used lightly. Only say it when you really mean it. So is it not a good idea to say i love you everyday? What if you say it often throughout one day and you mean it everytime, would there come a point when it gets old or lose it's meaning?

I say "I love you" as often as I can, because I never know when and where I can't say those words to him, again. So I used my time effectively just to say those 3 words.

In my marriage we say I love you before he leaves for work and when we get off the phone with each other because if something happens to the other one we want them to remember the last words we said was I Love You.
Also before we go to bed, in case one does not wake up the next morning. You never know how long you have, we know that and try not to forget it.

Hey, that's what I do too....for the same reasons! =) I make sure I say I Love You to my boyfriend everytime before one of us would go somewhere. Most especially if one of us will be travelling a long trip. Also before going to sleep. Also in the morning to let each other know we remember each other. You see, he's in a different city so we text each other often. Thanks for your comment! Nice to know someone else has the same reasons as I do. Good day to you!

I don't think that we can say "I love you" often enough. these are comforting and pleasurable words that we all need to hear. They have to be said with meaning and feeling. Just saying the words does not make it so.

Saying it everyday to someone or even many times a day doesn't mean it is not good anymore. It won't loose it's meaning if saying it everytime comes from deep within and you really mean it. I say "I love you" to my kids more than a dozen times in a day and I say it because I really really mean it. So why would saying it many times loose its meaning when the feeling of love is still present?

I havent used that word very frequently. But only when i felt that we were losing love on each other. When we were feeling that we ignored each other wer started useing it frequently.

It's not the freaquency that matters. It is that when you say it, you really mean it.
You can say it when they have done something nice for you. You can say it when you have to part. You can say it when you return.
It's not how often but that your truly mean it at the time.

I actually say it all the time. Even though hearing or saying "i love you" doesn't feel as good or as meaningful as it was during the beginning of the relationship/marriage.. at least for me, by saying "i love you" everyday means you really do love the person and that he/she means the world to you. Who knows? It might be the last "i love you" that the person could ever hear.

hi there! yes, i totally agree with you. it is not how often you say the words "i love you" but how much you mean by saying them. me and bf often say it to each other. at least 3 to 5 times a day i think. and i make sure to say it with all feelings. i know that action should speak louder than words. it is more important to make them feel it rather than hear it only. but since my bf is working in a far city from mine, we could only express our feelings when we talk. so that's the only time also that i can make him that i do really love him so much. saying how we feel towards our loved ones, like saying i love should be a natural reflex. it should belong to our system. because it heals the feelings and it brighten up the day. that's just basically from my experience. happy mylotting!

i think it's not how often do you say the words because you need to tell someone how you feel and people say it's better to say it at all times...i would prefer to be told that i am loved regardless of how often or seldom it may be as long as you felt sincerely what you are telling me... tough it's nice to hear "i love yous" from time to time but what counts the most is the sincerity of the words you uttered...=)
