I realized a long while ago that in my own marriage I don’t want “I love you” to become so automatic that we stop taking a second to actually feel that abiding love in our hearts for our spouse. My husband is not a man of many words when it comes to expressing feelings. But I am. So I take the time to tell him in different ways or I just say his name and wait for him to look at me so that he can witness all the love I have for him plain as day in my facial expression as I say “I love you”. He doesn’t reciprocate in the way I do. His wording is as it ever was. But it’s changed things for me, and I can see that he feels the intent when I am, in fact, intentional, with those words.

But it’s ALWAYS nice to hear the words “I love you back”.🥰
