Why do they say "luv ya" instead of "I love you"

Blame it on trying to fit the most amount of information with least number of keystrokes, or, in this case, making it easier for us to say those three words. Guys are brought up to believe it's not socially appropriate to talk openly about their feelings. Even if your guy finds muttering those three little words difficult, his behavior should show you loud and clear how he feels. "cliche as it sounds, actions speaks louder than words.Right?

Yes they do but it is still important to hear them. I honestly don't need to hear it from my husband even once a day but I do need to hear it sometimes and if he says it before I need to hear it that's even better. I do not like "luv ya" though or even "I love you too" they lose their sincerity a little I think.

Yes, and if you have kids...and especially if you have boys, I think it's really important that your husband says it in front of the kids. Boys learn to love their future wife partly by the way their dad loved their mom...it's the most frequent example they see. It really makes it tough when there are so many single parent homes.

oh, yes! i personally don't like this esp in text messages because it tends to make people forget the correct spelling of words.
but luv yah, maybe it's only because of laziness and it's shortened. =)

Even though they both mean the same thing i think they say it like that because it seems like a lighter way to show their feeling as to " I Love You " tends to be more sentimental and harder for them to say =D
But im not a dude so i dont really know, justa sayin' what ima thinkin'

Actions may speak louder than words...but one of the actions should be meeting your partner's expectations...and my wife expects me to say "I love you" often to remind her that we are in this together.
Now...I've been married almost 24 years and unless you can match that, there shouldn't be any excuse for not taking my advice. You put effort into what you want to work, so if the guy is lazy here...what's that tell you? What needs to happen is simple...just correct him a few times and let him know that is the expectation.
The only truth in what you are saying is that it is difficult. It's probably difficult because his dad never told his mom, "I love you" and modeled the correct behavior for his children.
We continue to lower our expectations and wonder why the world is in moral decline...how stupid are we?
