I Love You
I have started saving this word for special occasions only. Used too often diminishes its meaning and value. I notice some say it too often, but then at a simple argument the opposite is said too easily too. I have also seen some say it too often and yet do the opposite behind their partners. I feel love should be demonstrated in each and everything you do, not just in words. Otherwise it becomes just another word uttered.

I want to save these words on special days like on cheering him up on a bad moody day, or birthdays, or some special nights, or suddenly in telephone conversations. What would your flavor be?

    Sush,

    I was the same, and then I felt it seemed too casual. I stopped it. I use it very rarely and with sanctity.

    Hmmm... I don't say too often but I thank him when he does something for me special. Loving someone needs be words alone even a hug, a kiss and sharing thier problems while communicating all come sin together. If you go out and buy a small candy, it shows love too. We do it everyday in different actions but not in words.

    I agree that words lose their meanings when they are overused. I mean look at "freedom", "liberty", and scores of other words. They have been so overused that I wonder if they have the same connotation as they did to say our grandparents.
    But I think words are also very powerful. They not only remind the other person but yourself what you feel. I used to be unable to tell anyone I loved them, although I did with all my heart. I was one to believe that actions speak louder than words. But sometimes it just feels like you are reinforcing what you feel... that your actions are not because of a routine or a duty you feel towards a person(husband/wife/parent/sibling) but because you love them. Yes definitely don't over do it, but every now and then remind them and yourself of how you feel.

    I personally feel that the 'love' word should be spoken of only when it is heartfelt. The frequency is not the issue, whats important is the emotion attached to it. Dropping it too often decreases its value for sure, and hence a balance must be maintained so as to it does not loose the meaning it is meant to convey.
