Do you know why it is very important to say I love you to those people you love? Too many times, we just take it for granted that those we love know we love them so we feel as if we do not need to say it.
Those people we love need to know it everyday, because there may never be another time to say it. How would you feel if someone you loved died tomorrow and you did not take the time to tell him or her today that you loved him or her?
Perhaps if more couples told each other daily that they loved them, there would be less affairs, or divorces. When spouses or partners feel loved, it only makes sense that they would be happier within the relationship and not feel the need to cheat or leave. Therefore, it is imperative that you utter those three simple yet heartfelt words every day in a marriage or any type of relationship.
As parents, we often tell our babies we love them and we watch their smiles, yet most parents forget to tell their children that, as they get older. Instead, some parents show their love by buying all types of material goods, which is just showing the children that your love has a price tag.
My children often tell me they love me, because I have done that through out the years with them. I choose to take the time to say I love you to each of them very night, because I felt the need to. As my children grew into the teenage years it became difficult at times, we know how teens can get. However, I choose to do it 'Walton's style', Goodnight Amber, I love you, and I repeated it inserting her brothers' names.
They also heard it as they walked out the door to go to school each morning; in public schools, you never know when the next chance to say I love you will come so it was important to me. This not only let them know they were loved, but it began their day a bit better perhaps because they knew someone loved them.
Perhaps my boys as they will grow up and say the same to their children as their families grow, as my daughter is doing with her children now. This is a wonderful tradition to help spread the love in families and perhaps if more people said those words it would strengthen families. Lord knows this world could use less broken families.
We are all guilty of not saying I love you enough to those we do cherish at some point or another. When you take the time to utter those precious three words, it shows those people you love that they matter in this hard cruel world.
Even if you tell those you love everyday how you feel, it is important to show them just how much you love them by giving them a pat on the back as needed but hugs are a wonderful way to say hey I love you as well.
