    Read "The Five Love Languages" by Gary Chapman. It really made a dramatic, positive impact on my relationship with my wife. In short, verbal affirmations (like saying "I love you" at the end of a phone call) aren't necessarily the best ways to communicate to someone that you love them. It all depends on the person.

    That being said...I do still say it. :smile:

    i do, but my boyfriend thinks it's ridiculous. i always say "what if something happens to you and we don't say 'i love you'?"
    men don't get it.

    Do you tell your spouse "I love you" every time you hang up the phone with him/her?

    Yes, and any other time I can get it in. It's important.

    Nope, we hardly ever say it. We used to all the time when we were first married 9 years ago, but we just stopped saying it.

    On special occassion cards we always write Love.....

    It would almost be awkward to say it now after so many years of not saying it.

    Don't know - odd I guess

    Yep! I tell my spouse, my kids, my mom, sisters and brother every single time! You never know when it may be the last time. I try to make sure that everyone I love knows, without a doubt that I love them. Even when I'm mad at them I still love them.

    My hubby and I have been together over 4 years now. And we tell eachother everytime. You never know what might happen. And thefact that I truly do love him and he loves me. Why not express it.

    Also...A couple on this thread have said it's "needy". That cracks me up. I am not very needy at all. I've only said "I love you" to two SO's in my life. One was a high school boyfriend of 2.5 years and the other is my husband. Before I said it to my boyfriend in HS, I explained to him that it was only puppy love, not real love. I wanted him to be on the same page as me.

    BUT I believe in showing and telling the few people that mean the world to me that I love and care about them. When you deal with a sudden tragedy or death in your life, you learn the valuable lesson of SHOWING and TELLING those people in life you love them.

    Yes, we both do

    I also say it when I talk to my parents, and my brother. You never know when the last time you talk to them will be.

    Yep. Every time. Even if I call him at work (calls can be monitored), and every time he or I walk out the door, I tell him I love him and give him a great big kiss. If anything should happen to either of us, I'd want the last words I said to him to be "I love you!".

    Funny story.... years ago, he and I had a big (for us) argument at breakfast that wasn't resolved before we both left for work (I was employed at the time). I said to him before we both left "I'm still mad at you, but I love you!". He responded in kind. Yes. We made up when we got home.

    About half the time on the phone, but I never leave the house without kissing her and telling her I love her!

    My hubby is like that. I think its sweet.

    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.

    lol i couldve written this exact post.

    Yes, we do. The way I see it, any time could be the last time I talk with him.

    ^Same mentality I have, I also try and avoid going to bed mad at each other, wouldn't want that to be the last time I spend with anyone. :(

    Being honest, no. There are times that our conversations have to be quick because many times I call she's in a meeting.

    Yes, and every time one of us leaves the house without the other. We've been married 11 years and still so much in love!

    Most of the time we do, can't remember the last time we didn't. I also say it every time I end a conversation with my parents or grandfather.

    yes:
    hang up phone
    get up in morning
    randomly through out the day
    when he drops me off at work or picks me up (he always walks me in and to the back (work @ walmart)if
    when we are going to bed ..

    you never know when your time will end, I always wanted to tell my Aunt I loved her, but was scared of being rejected (long story)
    well she died at 50 y/o of a blood clot and I never got to tell her ( I was 17) .. I vowed to tell every one how I felt from that day foward .. so if I love you, you will hear it often ..lol

    Rarely will I not; love is far more than a feeling. There are times (albeit not often) that I'm frustrated on the phone with her, but I won't hold that back ... pride makes me want to at times, but that's a vicious enemy. 11 years and 4 kids later ... I can't imagine not telling her often ... never stop courting your spouse! One of the biggest mistakes I could ever make would be to let another man make my wife smile when I cannot ... I love her ... so why not tell her :)

    I get the whole thing about it becoming routine ... but if saying I love you becomes routine, the problem is not with the words, it's something else ...
