Expressions of Love

How do you let someone know that you love them?  Expressing your love does not always need to come in a box.  It can be simple gestures that can translate to something very romantic to somebody you love.

“My bounty is as boundless as the sea,
My love as deep; the more I give to thee,
The more I have, for both are infinite.”
 – William Shakespeare, Romeo and Juliet

Loving someone makes it very easy to give.  However, what you give need not always have a price tag attached to it.  At the end, it’s the very gesture of love that will be etched in your loved one’s heart.  It could be waking up ahead of her to fix the morning coffee or getting a napkin to gently wipe the corner of his mouth during dinner.    Even just remembering your anniversary or an important event that happened to both of you a year earlier can send expressions of love.  There’s no need for rocket science because someone who truly loves you will understand what you are doing for them.

Especially for women, these gestures will not go unnoticed.  Of course your lady may not rave over every move that you make, but take heart that she sees the smallest love expressions that you make.  You don’t need to watch those Hugh Grant or Julia Roberts movies out there.  Just sit back and do the right moves to display your expressions of love.

Small Moves Matter Big Time

You need to constantly do those little things.  Life can be quite daunting and we just need those small gestures to get us through it.  Giving your loved one a hug when you see that worried look on her face is a big one.  Sometimes, you don’t really need to ask what the problem is but what you did has already given her the message that everything will turn out well in the end.

Given all the gadgets and machines around us to make life easier, it is quite ironic that we still do not have enough time for most of the things we would like to do.  This makes it more important to spend quality time with the person you love.  Schedule dates ahead of time and never ever forget them. In case you cannot be physically together, leave small notes beforehand in places that your loved one will see when you are apart. Sending love quotes for her or him is one way.  A short SMS saying ‘I Love You’ in a different language will send the heart thumping quickly even for a while as well..  Your loved ones will be thrilled that you were thinking about them at that moment. 

Love Habits

There are other expressions that you don’t even have to think about.  Let them come naturally as part of everyday routine.  These small things do add up and does the job of filling up your loved one’s love tank.

When you are out walking together, hold each other’s hands.  Watching a movie at home or in a movie house?  Be a man and throw your hands around her. Writing love letters and sending to him or her  Be a woman and rest your head upon his shoulders.  Sending cute one-liners through chat messengers or mobile apps can be romantic too. 

And make sure your are using all the methods to win your dream guy for you. Take note of your man’s favorite music group or movie.  Check out the music stores for the latest release of their CD or get him the new DVD.   You can even get him tickets to the finals of the sport of his choice.  In case you’re not into those games, ask one of his buds to join him.  Your husband or boyfriend will definitely be thankful for that.  Ask him about his work as well.  Empathize when his co-workers are not playing their part and be the best cheer leader when he gets the promotion.  Boost his confidence consistently.  When he sees that you are concerned about his achievements, he will naturally do the same thing for you.

On the other hand, helping the wife with the dishes while she does the bedtime rituals with the kids will do wonders for her worry lines.  You can even help her cook and the kids will probably love the idea of eating something that their father made.    For the untrained mind and heart, these will look meaningless.  For those who are in a long term commitment and know that love involves responsibilities, these are part of everyday romance.  They truly count a lot.

Grand Expressions of Love

Once in a while, you need to have grand expressions of love.  Have you been talking about this new, swanky restaurant in town?  Make reservations and buy her a new outfit.  If there’s a band in the restaurant, make a request to play your special song.  You can even ask her for a dance if there’s some space.

Why not finally take the trip that you’ve been dreaming about?  Take her to the Eiffel Tower or to the Mediterranean for that special anniversary celebration.  Top it off with some glittering stones on her finger or neck.  No one can really go wrong with jewelry. 

If you are married with kids and can’t spare time away from home, have a date at your home.  Wait for your kids to fall asleep and arrange your dining area as if it were a restaurant.  The excitement of sneaking behind your kids and the new ambiance will send thousands of love expressions.

Always remember that all these actions are very important because they are expressions of your heart.  Constant communication and expression of love, even in simple gestures like sticking a sweet nothing, be it sweet love quotes for him and her or notes, once in a while is enough to keep the romance warm and pleasurable. They are your body’s manifestation of your affectionate thoughts for your special loved one.  It helps keep the fire of romance burning.  The list is endless.

While all these are very important, one key ingredient is for you to understand your loved one.  Since each person is different, one may prefer a love expression over another.  Know what makes your loved one’s heart smile the most, focus on those areas immensely, and all the other love expressions will flow freely.
