100 Ways to Say I Love You

82

By shawna.wilson

Everyone loves to be loved, and we all feel love differently. I feel loved when my husband helps out with the kids and the house or plans a getaway for just the two of us. Like most men, my husband likes to be shown love physically. Make a point to express your love for that special someone in a way that will make him or her feel treasured. Some of these ideas are romantic gestures while others are just little things you can do each day that will make a big difference to your companion. Whether you’re looking for date ideas or ways to show appreciation to your spouse, here are 100 ways to show your mate you care.

Alot of good suggestions here. When I was almost 21, my fiancee and I used to have fun by putting on each others' undies and then modeling them. It always made us laugh and was a sure-fire turn on!

SH-yes, I made the list myself.  Once I got to number 70 or so, it was pretty hard to think of the last 30!  Thanks for reading :)

Constant Walker-Who doesn't love to be in love? :)  I'll have to read The Rose.  I never have.  I appreciate your comments so much.

sgjerome-I'm sure your wife will appreciate whichever display of affection you choose to show.  Happy Valentine's Day!

Mahmo-it's the simple things that really make a difference in my life.  My husband doesn't have to do anything huge, just small things here and there to show me he appreciates me. Thanks!

Shawna, it's a movie, starring Bette Midler, loosely (very loosely) based on Janis Joplin.

shawna, I do so many stupid things to show my honey-pie that I love her. I have put notes on the computer. I have dropped by her work just to give her something cold to drink. I gave her one flower at a time and never let it die without replacing it. I did that for years until she told me to stop. I have made a complete ass of myself to win her heart just about every day of our marriage. I guess I'm a wierd guy.

shawna.wilson Hub Author 2 years ago

So what if you're a weird guy? I'm sure some women would kill for the attention and affection you give your wife! Keep on loving her just like you have been :)

Kebennett1 Level 4 Commenter 2 years ago

This hub is great! I write notes and leave them in my husbands lunch box. I write notes on the bathroom mirror in lipstick or eyeliner pencil. I call him when he is about to get off work occasionally, at 2:00pm and ask him to join me for a late lunch (he eats his at 10:00am is always hungry again!) for just the two of us! Time alone is hard to come by. We take care of my parents who live with us. We also have an older disabled foster daughter and a 17 year old niece who live with us! A bath for two is a must for what we call our down time alone! It is where we discuss our day. Talk about anything and everything and a lot of decisions are made. :) The bed is for sleeping and making love! Otherwise we are both so busy we don't have much time to talk alone.

Just being best friends (as well as lovers) covers all kinds of territory...not to diminish your list of ideas which are also good ones to keep the sparks flying. :-)
