Have you ever heard of the 5 langauges of love and how we all express love differently? <a href="http://www.5lovelanguages.com/learn-the-languages/the-five-love-languages/" rel="nofollow">http://www.5lovelanguages.com/learn-the-languages/the-five-love-languages/</a> You are probably just expressing your love in another way that is not word based. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-often-do-you-and-your-so-say-i-love-you-to-you-each-other#post-72604 Fri, 10 Feb 2012 16:56:11 +0000 sulli301 72604@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We say it everyday before he leaves for work, usually a couple times during the day, &amp; before we go to bed. I guess I didn't realize it but we say it a lot! I don't think it's bad not to say it a lot if that works for you &amp; you're both happy with the relationship. I can't imagine not saying it everyday but that's just how our relationship works for us. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-often-do-you-and-your-so-say-i-love-you-to-you-each-other#post-72589 Fri, 10 Feb 2012 16:40:04 +0000 Shutterbug 72589@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MamaMoose: Agreed. It's really important for me (and always has been for my family) for us to say "I love you" before we part, both because we mean it, and just in case it's the last thing we ever say to each other. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-often-do-you-and-your-so-say-i-love-you-to-you-each-other#post-72586 Fri, 10 Feb 2012 16:31:22 +0000 plantains 72586@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We say it multiple times a day, we are saps. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-often-do-you-and-your-so-say-i-love-you-to-you-each-other#post-72571 Fri, 10 Feb 2012 16:13:33 +0000 birdofafeather 72571@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>we say it multiple times a day. we were listening to a radio show that said "successful couples" say it 3-4 times per week. i thought that was really low. i guess we don't put much thought into it in the sense that we say it when we feel it and don't really count it up. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-often-do-you-and-your-so-say-i-love-you-to-you-each-other#post-72504 Fri, 10 Feb 2012 15:27:39 +0000 Clementine 72504@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>we prob say it at least 1x day! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-often-do-you-and-your-so-say-i-love-you-to-you-each-other#post-72310 Fri, 10 Feb 2012 12:28:54 +0000 CameronsMomma 72310@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We say it quite a few times a day... probably somewhere between 5-10? We've always been that way though, and it's what works for us. Call us sappy or whatever, but it's really nice to hear/read. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-often-do-you-and-your-so-say-i-love-you-to-you-each-other#post-72253 Fri, 10 Feb 2012 11:31:25 +0000 yoursilverlining 72253@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We say it multiple times a day (though, usually a couple of those times are via text and not out loud). I like to say it when we leave each other for work in the morning, my husband is much more vocal with the “I love you”’s than I am :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-often-do-you-and-your-so-say-i-love-you-to-you-each-other#post-72247 Fri, 10 Feb 2012 11:25:38 +0000 Adira 72247@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We say it at least every day (in the morning before work) and sometimes multiple times in the evening, but some of it really is just habit, so don't feel bad if you and your SO don't say it all the time. As long as you both FEEL loved, that's all that really matters. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-often-do-you-and-your-so-say-i-love-you-to-you-each-other#post-72098 Fri, 10 Feb 2012 09:31:52 +0000 mediagirl 72098@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Every day. We are SO not the sappy type either!! He is better at it than I am but, we say it when we're leaving the house in the morning, when we hang up a phone call and even when we end a chat, if we're heading out of the office or house. I'm so glad we have this tradition!</p> <p>I never said it as a kid (my parents weren't big I love you'ers), so it was a big adjustment getting used to saying it to him all the time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-often-do-you-and-your-so-say-i-love-you-to-you-each-other#post-72095 Fri, 10 Feb 2012 09:30:25 +0000 mrsjyw 72095@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Multiples times a day. Via text, phone, and in person. like @carrielouwho, I grew up with my parents being very vocal about I love you's, etc. DH did with his mom, but not his dad...</p> <p>I think our frequency is more out of habit... and I appreciate the random ILYs than our go to "ilysm" texts or before bed ILYs.

Hubs doesn't say it very often at all with his parents, I say it any time I see them or talk on the phone. Weird how that works out. He says it all the time to me though.<br /> I think everyone is different with this though, whatever works for your relationship is good for you! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-often-do-you-and-your-so-say-i-love-you-to-you-each-other#post-71984 Fri, 10 Feb 2012 01:00:40 +0000 cyneswith 71984@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Minimum of twice a day - when he leaves, and when we go to bed. And otherwise, a lot. But I grew up with the thought of "Tell someone you love them as often as you think it." I also tell close friends I love them every time we talk, and parents (mine AND my mother in law), our siblings, and my godkids/nieces/nephews. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-often-do-you-and-your-so-say-i-love-you-to-you-each-other#post-71976 Fri, 10 Feb 2012 00:46:45 +0000 aMohror 71976@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MamaMoose: Exactly what you said! I grew up saying it a lot to my mom and sister so I know that's partly why I do it. To me it means something every time we say it, we don't just say it because we are used to it. We can just be sitting in separate rooms in the house and look at each other and say it, it makes me smile every time :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-often-do-you-and-your-so-say-i-love-you-to-you-each-other#post-71781 Thu, 09 Feb 2012 20:39:26 +0000 MamaMoose 71781@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Constantly. Whenever we part company, get off the phone, go to bed, or just feel moved to say it. I'm also a little crazy though and if God forbid something ever happened to one of us it's really important to me that "I love you" was the last thing we said to each other. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-often-do-you-and-your-so-say-i-love-you-to-you-each-other#post-71707 Thu, 09 Feb 2012 19:34:43 +0000 banana 71707@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Now that I think about it, the way we should affection is instead of "i love you" we say "You're funny!" to each other. I know that when he says "You're funny!" and smiles at me, it means he loves me (and vice versa) in our own special way. And we say that at least a few times a day. I guess that's similar? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-often-do-you-and-your-so-say-i-love-you-to-you-each-other#post-71704 Thu, 09 Feb 2012 19:33:33 +0000 mrs. wagon 71704@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Rob Sr. says it several times a day, in person, on the phone, and thru texts. I say it maybe once every other day. I have a lot of issues with the phrase (when we were dating, I made Rob Sr. promise not to say it for the first time until I gave him the ok, which was 6 months into the relationship) and I only like to say it when I'm emotionally feeling it 100%. On the flip side, I like to hear it a lot and he likes to say it a lot. So it works. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-often-do-you-and-your-so-say-i-love-you-to-you-each-other#post-71698 Thu, 09 Feb 2012 19:30:15 +0000 sslm 71698@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh, I wanted to add, growing up my parents, sister and I said it to each other multiple times a day as well, so maybe that's why I say it so often to DH? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-often-do-you-and-your-so-say-i-love-you-to-you-each-other#post-71695 Thu, 09 Feb 2012 19:29:00 +0000 sslm 71695@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Many times a day, before we leave for work and before going to sleep for sure, and sometimes in between depending on what's happening!</p> <p>I wouldn't feel bad though. It's the love you have for each other and how you show it that matters, not how often you say the words. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-often-do-you-and-your-so-say-i-love-you-to-you-each-other#post-71690 Thu, 09 Feb 2012 19:25:11 +0000 ALittleP 71690@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>At least once when he leaves for work and once when we go to sleep.

It can become just 3 meaningless words if it just becomes another habitual phrase but we both try to avoid that and hopefully so far so good. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-often-do-you-and-your-so-say-i-love-you-to-you-each-other#post-71598 Thu, 09 Feb 2012 18:09:25 +0000 DpeachLu 71598@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Multiple times a day as well. I dont think that couples that say it less mean they love each other less either. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-often-do-you-and-your-so-say-i-love-you-to-you-each-other#post-71591 Thu, 09 Feb 2012 18:06:29 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 71591@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We say it multiple times a day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-often-do-you-and-your-so-say-i-love-you-to-you-each-other#post-71587 Thu, 09 Feb 2012 18:05:16 +0000 betsyboop 71587@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Every morning before husband leaves for work and each night before we go to sleep. So different from my Korean parents - I've never heard them say 'I love you' to each other! Korean parents just don't do that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-often-do-you-and-your-so-say-i-love-you-to-you-each-other#post-71586 Thu, 09 Feb 2012 18:05:00 +0000 MegWag 71586@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We say it multiple times through out the day, every day. It's not an intentional thing, but I do love it :) I think it's just that we're together all day and so any time one of us thinks it, we verbalize it. (We are generally very affectionate though... so we're the same with kisses and hugs and sweet gestures.) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-often-do-you-and-your-so-say-i-love-you-to-you-each-other#post-71581 Thu, 09 Feb 2012 18:02:06 +0000 heffalump 71581@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>All the time. At least when he leaves in the morning and before we go to bed at night, but usually one or two more times in between. I just like him to know I love him :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-often-do-you-and-your-so-say-i-love-you-to-you-each-other#post-71580 Thu, 09 Feb 2012 18:01:57 +0000 cupcakemama 71580@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@banana: Don't feel bad! We are really soppy! We found each other later than most and both though we would miss out on a special someone so are probably more verbal about it than other couples. </p>
