Do you ever say it?

For you members who have a honey, how often do you say "I love you."
My Dad used to tell my Mother every night that he loved her
but
my late husband was a "I told ya I love ya, now let me be" kind of a guy.
I think it's important for a woman to hear the words every once in a while.
What do you think?
 

We don't share "I love you" words every day, but we both know our love for one another.

I love it when I'm washing dishes or doing something in the kitchen, and hubby will come in, and from behind, put his arms around me and give me a gentle hug and kiss on the neck.

What a lovely man your dad was, Gaer, and yes, I agree, it is important to remind ones partner of the love and appreciation they have for the other.
 
Does a kiss anytime we will be apart for any reason count?

Our reason is if it's that last time we see each other, a kiss will be the last thing we shared. That includes a kiss goodnight because waking up is not guaranteed.
 

My husband has always been the romantic type and says "I Love You" many times a day. I also say it. He just got off the phone with my daughter and granddaughter and he never ends the conversation without telling them he loves them. He does the same with my grandsons.My Dad was a very loving man and said I love you often to my Mom and me and my sister.

Maybe once is enough for some, all well and good. I tell her everyday, even when we are texting I will add an I love you.
Apart from when I was in hospital having the hip replacement, my wife has had a bouquet every single week of our married life. She still gets love letters, (I post them) you might think that I'm an old romantic but I take the view that if I don't show her how much I love her, someone else might.
 
I generally make a point of saying it when one of us goes out. I even usually do it before leaving to take the dogs on a walk. If anything would happen to me I'd want my wife to know my last words to her were I love you.

One of the things we also do is whenever we're feeling a lot of love for the other we'll say or text "burst of love" to express that we've been aware of feeling a lot of love for the other. I doesn't happen that often, maybe once every few weeks or so, but we do it from time to time. If we're together we'll often say to the other "I love you so much" of something like that.

Some people are shy about stating that they love someone, but they show it in non-verbal ways.
 
I was raised to always say to my parents when leaving the house after I'd kissed them to say, love you. Of course this carried over into my adulthood and in my relationship with my husband and son and always my dogs. My son and I always end our phone conversations with telling each other this as well. As for my dog Marley, well, all I have to do is see those big brown eyes looking at me and I melt and hug her and tell her how much I love her. My mother always stressed it was the strongest 4 letter word in our vocabulary. She did not allow the word hate to be used in our household at all.

I don't remember "my honey" and I saying I love you very much but it wasn't necessary. It was super obvious every day that we loved each other deeply. My mother, father, and siblings were all the same way but we just knew.

Then fast forward to my grown children and I...

We say it so often that it's used like a punctuation mark :love: ...every time we end a conversation on the phone, every time we get together. In texting it's splattered around here and there. Lot's of hugs too. It's not that we're all insecure...it just feels good, it's happy, and we mean it.
