I say it more to my kids. They need to hear it more since they are still little. They know I love them, but it makes them feel good to hear it. My husband & I actually rarely say it.

More to my kids, I would say. Simply because they say it to me more than their dad would. But, I'll try to say it to my husband more often than I do now. There's this discussion here that inspired me to do just that. Anyway, I love him as much as I do my kids. But, most married couples would say that you should love your spouse more than your kids because in the end it will just be the two of you.

It's great that you always remind your kids how much you love them,but it's actually greater when they know or hear that both of there parents love each other.There is nothng wrong in expressing you emotions everyday.It is actually a security for some...I love you is a strong word,so use it when you really mean it.

i dont really know to be honest, i say i love you uite a lot to both my partner and my son, i think maybe at the moment i say it to my partner, i say it as he leaves for work, if i talk to him on the phone, when ever i kiss him and before we go to bed too... i tell my son i love him every night before bed and if i'm playing with him and i just tell him how gorgeous he is and how much i love him...

Definitely to my children. I tell them a minimum of three times a day, lol. But they always say it back too. Growing up, I love you was not something I ever heard from my parents (still to this day I don't hear it) and I don't feel comfortable saying it to my mom either, but I don't want my children to grow up like this. I want them to be able to express their feelings openly.

I tell my husband and my son both at least 3 or 4 times a day. My son is just barely 1 (today is actually his birthday), and when my husband tells me he loves me in front of my son, he says "Daddy loves Mommy" and my son tells him "No, Elliott ubs Mommy." It's really cute. When my husband asks "Does Elliott love Daddy" Elliott just laughs and says "Yeah!" He won't ever say "Elliott ubs Daddy." I kind of feel sorry for my husband because of it, but he doesn't mind. I'm around Elliott all day since I'm a stay at home mom. I'm sure when Elliott gets older he will say it to Daddy more.

Come to think about it, I say it more to my kids. Maybe because I carried them for 9 months, went through labour for them and not forgetting epidurial. They are my joy and they are truly a challenge. I say it to my kids more than 5 times a day. To my hubby.... once in a while.
