do you think saying I love you is a requirement?

I guess it is better if you say it because you mean it and not because you just need to say it. Sometimes because of frequently using it, it does lose the sweetness already.

Actually for me it is totally depends on the couples if they prepared to do that its nice and good partern but there is a cautions on that when you said if one is forget to tell the tendensy will negative, so it is not requirements but if you or both of the couples feel want to say, say it in her/his face with feelings but no agreements that they can say it or else problem - it should be openly and understand by each other.. if not in words may be by action you can show your love, Am I right or wrong..

Glad to see your discussion janefatima. I cannot really say that it is a requirement but sometimes it adds spice to the relationship. Of course, we should not tell it every time we talk, text, or call but it would somehow give you a feeling of inspiration especially at night when you say it to your love before you sleep. Saying I LOVE YOU is very easy but it is more powerful if you let it feel to your love or honeybunch through actions; as the saying goes, actions speak louder than words. Happy mylotting janefatima. GOD bless you always!

For me yes for the words only but in action not applicable it is needed a words and showing love.

hearing your lover saying- "i love you" to you is somehow an assurance of that Love thing. Everyone is unique and has their own style expressing their way of loving. For some saying it like every now and then,and for some saying it like "once in a blue moon" each has a different impact, depending how you say it. For sure we can feel the sincerity whenever someone would say that magic word to us. For me, it shouldn't be a requirement because it would defeat its meaning if it is.

In my own opinion, saying the three magic words "I love You" is very important in a relationship. When we love, we allow our emotions to be known or expressed. Omission of expression is nearly the same as taking one for granted. People we love need daily reminders of the fact that they are lovable. When we truly love someone we will find the courage to express it well and express it often. I believe that this is not a requirement, because saying I love you is not an obligation. We should say these three magic words because we want to, not because we are obliged to. We should say it wholeheartedly. As a wife, I always wanted to hear those words from my husband. I am so lucky that he always do. :)

hi janefatima well when newly weds say it its because this is all so new and they really do care for each other. then as the years and the family grow maybe we do not say it every day in those words but a sweet gesture from your mate doing something you love and unexpectedly, says it without the words. then when you are in your golden years you find you say it more as you never know which day might mean partings. so it all depends on the two people and the era they are in. deeds can also say I love you.

i might say its not a requirement but somehow its nice to hear it from time to time especially if the person who said it means it. As long as you means it,and felt it,you should say i and yeah, for some men who withheld those magic words, they probably compensate in action. i hope so.

Hi, janefatima. We all are different. Some people may feel that there is a need to say it a couple of times in a day, and some may not. Others say it in different ways. I think its better to know that someone loves you and they mean it even they don't often say it. And lovers fighting about not saying "i love you" in a day is silly! :)

Hiya JF, Not really. I don´t think that you need to say I love you every Day of the Week. Quality is what counts and not quantity in these cases as well. If someone only tells you that he loves you once a year but he tells you in a very nice way then I think that can make up for all the times he might not have ever told you. xxx

Well, if that is a requirement defines by my lover, I should say it almost every single day to make her happy. But would it be necessary, if he/she already know that you love him/her? I thought love must be express from your heart, and the opposite side should feel it through their heart the same moment.

Saying love is needed to strengthen your relationship and make you're sure that you love each other.But I don't think that saying love everyday or three time a day is required.Action is louder than words, so the most important thing is how we show love by action.I saying love in certain moment but always show my love by take care to him and little touch like hug, hold hands, etc

well i don't think so that there should be requirment of telling i love you but the thing is feelings are more important then words but in todays world since people do not understand feelings words are more important i hope you got your answer

as for me it is not totally a requirement but atleast somehow you have to say it to the one you loved. had experienced on this one.. i told her i love you many times.. yet she never told me "i love you too" or "i love you" but it shows on her actions she loves me, but still i am longing for her to say that magic word

I think that couples should say that I love you to each other. I get upset at my wife because she does not say I love you but then she says I say it after you say it but I dont think that is the same. I would love to hear her say I love you to me first but she does not. I sometimes tell her I love her and Then I wait for her to say it and she does not. I then say dont say it unless you mean it and sometimes she says nothing. I get mad after that and talk to her about it but then she just gets mad and we end the talk. I dont think it is wrong for couples to say I love you to each other.

I believe actions speaks louder than words. It is nauseating to hear the words being repeated over and over again. Being in love makes two lovers inseparable and there is no need to enforce the word by repetitively saying 'I love you' which can only render the true meaning of 'love' valueless. They are so many ways and means to show your undying love to someone that are more meaningful. Like sending roses not only on special days but why not make a standing order to the florist to send flowers every week, send e-cards and occasionally dinner by candlelight. These and many other ways will send the message strong that love is always in the air and would glue the two hearts together so no one can rock the relationship.

Saying I love you should not be coach or because you were push to do so it should be something that comes out of your mouth just because you really love that person. Sometimes when your mate is insecure about how much you love him or her, he or she tends to ask you to declare your love for him or her by means of words. Showing that you love someone should not be limited to words only. It should be accompanied with an action, something that you love one can see.

Its upto their own... lovers can talk with their eyes if they feel...

I think "I love you" should be said at least once so that there is no confusion as to what a person feels for another. You might be in love with someone, but if that person never tells you, you won't know if they love you back. You might think or believe they love you back, but you will never know for sure. I feel a declaration of love must be made at least once. I want to hear it from time to time. I want to say it also.. I want the person to know I love them.
