I Love You is one phrase that is hard for many people to say. Maybe it’s because of their childhood. maybe it’s from a lack of trust, but either way, we have to break the barrier and understand that the phrase ” I love you ” is something that we need to say more to the ones we love and care for.
Each and every day I make sure to tell my wife I love her and match it with action to show my love for her as well. Do we have bad “moments”? YES! just like any other relationship, but that doesn’t mean I love her less. Somedays we may have told each other we love each other multiple times and then at the end of the day, we love to play this simple game of asking each other, “did I tell you I love you today?” we know the answer is yes, but one more, “I love you” won’t hurt.
Early in my life I have come to understand the power of words. From never jokingly speak death, or wish harm on someone you love, but even so, uplifting someone with words of encouragement. Studies have proven that words have more power than we think and adding “I love you” to your life can do wonders for you and others.
