Do We Need to Say "I Love You" All the Time?

I think the gesture is more important than words. One can repeat whole day ' I love you ' but his /her gesture has not much sign of it then it's worthless.

@Shavkat sometimes, actions speak louder than words. But, yeah, saying 'I love you' again & always is becoming a trend. It should be expressed rarely on special occasions! Anyways, as long as there is love, what's the need of words ?

I do not say it too often.but do at times.After 45 years.Love is there as we can see it. I do say this a lot to the children.

my son sometimes tells me that, i was also told that over the phone by somebody. i still prefer the love emotion to be demonstrated and not said.

I always and often say I love you to my boyfriend, even though those words seem not enough to express my love to him. I think saying those 3 words is a must for me.

That's not needed actually all the time but we, women, often need it. What about you men?

I think it's a situational habit. Like at church all my friends say it and I have learned it as a learned response. I mean it but it's more like family love. Love of a sister, brother or parent or grandparent.

No, I think you are right @Shavkat ; it just becomes something to say without it's true meaning. It should only be said when it is truly heart-felt.

I usually don't repeat it again and again with everybody but I usually say to my loved ones whenever I feel like saying.

I think this depend on how stable the relationship is.If , in the courtship days you laid the foundation that 'tells' the other person how much you really value them then there is not such a need to give verbal assurances of 'I love you' so frequently. A woman on TV was once asked when last her husband said 'I love you"...she said 40 years. Then she added, 'He said he tell me if he changes his mind'! Apparently, he never did...and they were both comfortable with that! That's pretty solid.

I often say it to people I love and care about. I don't say it and take it just likely. ---- ooppps lightly I mean.

It is not necessary to say always but a little.

When you are that special to someone you don't need to say a word, love is something that words can't express.

It is not important to tell your beloved that you love them but to make them really feel that how much they mean to you. LOVE doesn't demand to be told it demands to be felt.

I am sort of a person who does believe in saying "I LOVE YOU" it's better if someone shows it through his or her actions

We can say I love you in different ways. Hugging a person, helping a person, giving someone a gift, cooking for someone are forms of saying I love you

That depends on the two who are in a relationship, not for me to judge.

To family i think yes

No, it can get overdone! Just at times when it is appropriate to the situation! :)

It depends. If you started saying I LOVE YOU everyday then one day/week you failed to say it I would feel different. But if you've never said that eversince I am ok because I know you are like that.
