Before I start an article about saying I love you, I would like to share a short story. One evening, in a humble household, three old men knocked at the front door. The wife, a bit surprised, opened the door and asked the three old men what she can do for them. One of the three old men answered. We are the three blessings in life- I am wealth, the other one is success and the third one is love. You can only choose which one of us should enter your home. The husband over hearing the conversation, suggested to choose wealth, in that way he will not work as hard as he does now.

While the wife wanted to select success because she never get the chance to be successful when she decided to became a full time housewife. Before the wife decided to let success in, their eight year old daughter who was playing on the corner, told her parents to choose love instead. "Wouldn't it be nice to live in a house surrounded by it?" said the daughter. The father said, I guess it's best to heed our daughter's advice. So the mother let love in their home and to her surprise the other two blessing followed him in. "I thought we can only get to select one" says the lady.

"yes" said wealth "but whenever love goes, wealth and success is sure to follow". May it be in family or work, let love prevail, this is the moral of the story. It is important that if you let it prevail in your life, you should know how to show it. Saying I love you is essential but it is not enough, you should know how to act on it and let the object of your affection feel it. Saying I love you can fuel the romance in your relationship. Here is some everyday stuff on how to say you adore your husband or wife.

Surprise your wife by having all her favorite shoes shined, cleaned and fixed. Women adore their shoes and if you take some time to pay sometime to have it shined and cleaned is one of the romantic ways of saying I love you. Another romantic way of saying I love is pampering your wife or your husband with a massage. Another perfect way of saying it is to leave some notes around saying the things of what you appreciate most with your spouse. Another perfect way of telling your partner that he or she is truly loved is to kiss and tell, you might be shocked to hear this one but when you spread the word to your friends, co-workers, and neighbors of how much you adore your partner it will surely reach him or her.

There are so many ways of telling the object of your affection how loved he or she is- a whisper when he or she is asleep, through a radio request, writing it in bathroom mirror after using it. I am sure you or your partner cannot get enough of hearing and feeling adored, so never stop doing it- make it a habit.
