How many times should you say, "I love you"?
To your partner.
To your sons and daughters.
To you parents.
To your grandparents.
2 times a day? 3 times a day? 5? 6? 10?
There are so many different ways to say, "I love you" besides with your voice.
Show respect.
Be polite.
Speak with a kind and gentle voice.
Communicate.
Say "Hello", greet them with a smile and a hug when they walk in the door.
Touch them on the shoulder and let them know it's going to be okay.
Hug them, tightly.
Listen to them.
Give them a compliment.
Say thank you in a heartfelt way.
Look at them when you speak to them.
Make them a gift.
Buy them a gift.
Write a love letter.
Write a positive note on a sticky note and hang it someplace unexpected.
Smile at them.
Help them with dinner.
Help with dishes.
Call them.
At the very least, Text them.
Laugh at their jokes.
Make time for them.
Spend time with them.
Again, Call them (yes, I wrote it again... especially call your mother...)
Ask them to dance right in the living room.
Kiss them.
Comfort them if they are feeling down.
Give foot rubs and neck massages.
Check on them.
Ask them how they are.
Show them you care.
Ask them if they need anything.
Surprise them with a dinner out, a picnic, a show, or just a walk on the beach...
For partners: Light a couple of candles in the room before it's "lovin' time".
Take your time to make sure your partner is satisfied and happy.
Talk to and hold your partner after love making.
Do a lot of these every day.
Plus, say "I love you".
In the morning.
Before they leave.
On the phone.
By text.
Throughout the day.
And don't go to sleep without uttering the words.
Life is so precious. And it goes so quickly. All of the people you love- tell them, show them.
