Romantic Things to Say to Someone You Love

"I love you" is one of the most romantic things to say to someone you love. But the truth is... love is isn't a word, it's an action. It's what we do.

 

Here's the thing: Communication can "show" your partner you love them rather than just "tell" them. Using certain phrases can be a true ACT of love.

#1

"I LOVE IT WHEN YOU'RE NAKED"

The goal in any relationship is to balance feeling comfortable with feeling the passion you crave! This is a phrase that you already are thinking you just have to say it! You just need to say it out loud. In person. Not over text. We can all feel a little self-conscious at times, even getting out of the shower near the person we love, so give your partner a boost and a little reassurance.

 

#2

"THANKS FOR WIPING DOWN THE COUNTERS, THEY'RE SO CLEAN AND NICE"

Appreciate your partner. Even for the mundane little things. Show them you do not take them for granted. Remember what life was like without them and let them know you see how they add to your life.

 

#3

"WOULD YOU DO THESE DISHES FOR ME? I LOVE COOKING WITHOUT A MESS, IT FEELS LIKE I'M ON THE FOOD NETWORK"

Women: Ask your partner for what would please you. Rather than wait until he fails to read your mind, or anticipate your need, be clear and direct about what he could do that would contribute to your world and make your life easier, better, and/or more enjoyable.

"I'D LOVE TO DO THAT FOR YOU!"

Men: When she asks you to do something, don't just say "yes" or "sure". Give it some real flare and it will benefit you in the short/long term.

 

#4

"I BELIEVE IN YOU."

Our partner isn't here to save us from our lives. They're here to back us up and give us loving support to go out in the world and do what we came here to do! Saying that you believe in them gives them wings! 

 

#5

"TELL ME MORE"

We are all in such a hurry all the time. SLOW DOWN. Make eye contact. Smile. Say "tell me more" like you've got all the time in the world. When a women hears this it raises their female de-stressing hormones (hello estrogen!).

 

#6

"I TRUST YOU TO MAKE THE BEST DECISION"

We just want to help and support our partner to be the best that they can be! Often our most loving action is to let go and trust them. It's that trust that inspires them to be the best that they can be.

 

#7

"LET ME KNOW IF I CAN HELP"

Unsolicited advice can sometimes be taken as criticism or distrust. So it's important to be aware of this when volunteering to help. At the same time, the joy of being in a relationship is that you have a partner, an extra set of hands, someone to lean on when you need it. Be casual and simply make yourself available.

 

#8

"I LOVE SPENDING TIME WITH YOU"

Time is everyones most precious resource. Whether you're just starting to date or you've been together for years, this phrase says I love you with elegance.

 

#9

"I NEED SOME SPACE TODAY. IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH YOU. I'LL LET YOU KNOW WHEN I'M READY"

Taking me-time is often the most loving action you can take in your relationship. If you're not caring for yourself - giving yourself the support you need to recharge - then you can't give your best to your partner, nor can you bring out the best in them. 

Without this phrase, it's easy for your partner to take your impatience, detachment, irritation, dissatisfaction personally and think you don't love them anymore. Using this phrase when you need space, you ensure they know you love them and you're taking loving action to bring the best you in the relationship.
