    I used to then realized it had become a habit with my ex-husband instead of meaningful words.

    Now, I tell me sweetie often. It could be the end of a call, when he's leaving fr work, when I look at him. I never, ever want it to become a habit again.

    Yes, and he is probably better at it than I am.

    No, anything said too often loses meaning for me. Moves from authentic to just routine..

    When I was still married, I always used to tell her I loved her. Once, I ordered pizza from Dominos and told the dude taking my order that I loved him out of habit.

    Hahah! Ive done that before. I even kissed my friend goodbye after we said our 'i love you's'. Thank goodness she was a girl!

    It is a lovely habit to get in to. My son has also made it a habit and made himself laugh when he accidently said it to his boss before he hung up. I guess you can say worse things to your boss. :blushing:

    Not every phone call, but most of them. I am sure we don't need to remind each other of our love, but it is nice to hear it anyway. It doesn't get old to me, and I hope it doesn't for her. Depending on the situation of the phone call, it certainly does help to hear it at the end. However, we do not do the cutesy "no...I love you more- no you hang up" BS. That is just annoying lol.

    We also do the occasional hand holding in public. Or the surprise back rub/butt slap/crotch grab while you are doing mundane tasks around the house. I always enjoy them, and feel it strengthens the relationship just as much as saying "I love you". In fact, that is what I take it as. A physical way of saying "I love you" without actually saying it.

    As far as the inappropriate texting. That is like relationship gold. LOL i rarely find it, but when I do, I smile at the giant nugget of awesome.

    Check your phone, sir. LOL

    Just about always - never leave angry. When I was 16 my sister and I had a nasty fight that I walked out on, she was hit by a drunk driver that night and I never got to say I love you again. Things DO happen. Show them (Spouse, family and friends!) you love them every day!

    Nearly always... even at the end of those mundane 'I'm in the supermarket, do we need anything?' sort of phonecalls.
    We say it when we leave the house for work, before we go to sleep, other random times throughout the day...

    It's never reached a point where I felt we were just saying it out of habit... although there are definitely times when it means more than others I think.

    oh yes I do and not as form of a greeting, but to let her know she is an absolute gift from God! I don't know why she puts up with me... I've have a hard time putting up with me! lol She's my sanity and the love of my life. My goal everyday is to put a smile on her face. I tell her I love her because I do!

    Not really... predictability with that phrase can drain the meaning out of it. I save those exact words for the moments that need it.

    Instead, I prefer to overload her phone with dirty text messages at various inconvenient times.

    love this... want my number? :)

    If you need a routine - I prefer the "ten-second kiss" routine when I get home, over any particular words. Make that a habit and your marriage will kick *kitten*. It's hard to fight about stupid stuff when you're horny.

    Yes, every time we leave the house, every time we get off the phone and every night before bed...and other times throughout the day, even if we're frustrated with eachother.

    ^^^^^this, exactly.:heart:

    Just celebrated 24 great years of marriage.

    We don't talk on the phone much, but we make it a habit to say "I love you" before we go off to work, when we get home, and before we go to bed....and random times throughout the day we'll send texts saying it.

    I do, even if I'm irritated with him. I learned my lesson the hard way, I didn't tell my mom that I loved her after we had an argument on the phone. I got the call the next day that she was gone.

    Now I ALWAYS him every time he leaves the house and every time we hang up..
