Eight creative ways to say “I love you”

“I love you”: three little words that are powerful words when delivered all at once – and if they’re not enough, there are creative and meaningful ways to say them in a myriad of different way. Here are a few of them – eight brilliant ideas to express love for an even stronger impact.

List the reasons

There’s nothing like words of affirmation and encouragement to make a partner’s heart to swell. Letting them know how much they mean, in their own unique ways, is a sure-fire route to putting a spark into a relationship.

Say it with a gift

With a beautiful present on hand, not much could go wrong, especially if it’s an eye-popping two-carat ring! And little, thoughtful things are always a beautiful way to show someone they’re important on the way. Giving something special to one’s beloved is equivalent to saying they were thought about while they were away.

Doing something together

Spending quality time together is another positive pronouncement of affection. It may be as simple as sharing a cup of coffee while watching the sunset or an escapade to a dream destination. Couples can also enjoy special time even while doing mundane tasks like exercise or housework.

A special meal

The saying, “the best way to a man’s heart is through his stomach” works both ways, depending on which partner is skilled enough to make magic in the kitchen. Women love to be cooked meals, too, even if it is just a simple breakfast spread.

Give a massage

Any form of physical contact may be good enough to tell convey the intensity of one’s love, but something soothing, like a back rub or foot massage, could mean even more.

Doing chores or running errands

Everyone is tired by by the hustle and bustle of their daily lives, no matter who they are, so taking off a load one way or another can be much appreciated. It may be as simple as walking the dog for the day or doing the laundry, but it would mean “I love you” in a wonderful way.

Take a break from everything (including mobile devices) and cuddle

Some people come together without being “together,” especially in recent years, and for long-term success it’s necessary to change that. It’s important to be present at the moment with a loved one – it means a lot, especially in this time of countless distractions.

Make unexpected contact

One thing that could tell a partner they’re important, especially when a couple is not together, is sending a unexpected message or making a phone callsout of the blue.

Actions speak louder than words.  Anyone who chooses to say “I love you” with gifts and gestures gives an even deeper meaning to the phrase.
