What Loving Someone Entails and How to Express the Feeling

– How to Express Love –

Specifically, when you’re in love with someone, do you feel an intensely strong and almost inexplicable passion and desire for him or her? 

Being in love means that you yearn for a person, an idea or an object, you think about them constantly, and you crave being around this person and spending time together.

Love, unlike normal feelings, does not come and go. Love commits itself to one person, both the good and bad. Love is a powerful feeling of affection towards someone romantically attractive.

Love means different things to different people, different people got diverse ways of exhibiting their love. Some of these ways are the wrong way and as much, may lead to doom.

How to Express Your Love to Someone

In this article, we will discuss different ways you can express your love to someone.

1. Put Your Love in Poetry

For most people, writing a poem is stress free than for others. You can start by making a list of the reasons why you love the person.

You can also recall how you met them and what you hope your future together will look like. Also, consider reading love poems by Sufi poet Rumi, Leonard Cohen, or others.

2. Offer to Help Someone in Need

There’s always someone who needs something. Sometimes helping others is a way to make you feel good, too.

The person you help could be a close friend, a neighbor, or your spouse.

3. Say Please and Thank You

This is an act you can practice every day, but many of us forget to do so. It can make such a big difference in our lives.

4. Practice the Art of Forgiveness

We often have minor issues with loved ones, but as they say, “Pick your fights.” Try to release anger and defeat, so that you can adopt a more positive attitude.

5. Send a Card to Someone You Love

You’d be amazed by how many people appreciate this gesture. So many of us have gotten into the habit of only sending e-mail, it’s nice to receive a note in the mail.

6. Tell Your Love How Much You Love and Appreciate Them

A little love goes a very long way. Many of us are love taking people for granted, so it’s good to acknowledge those who’ve affected positively into our lives and those we could not live without.

7. Offer the Gift of Listening 

Focus on others and hear what they have to say. Remember the 80/20 rule: Listen more and talk less. This allows others to share and also gives you a chance to understand the feelings of others.

8. Understand Your Partner’s Needs

You may express love through gifts when your partner collects love through touch. Recognizing that the way you give love may not be how your partner receives love can be eye opening.

Yet, knowing the ways your partner feels loved assists you express love in ways that your partner can appreciate. Try different methods, and see what generates the best response.

9. Verbalize Your Feelings

Tell your partner that you love her always. Tell your partner when you find her/him attractive.

Your partner cannot read your mind, so express yourself in words when you admire always your partner. Express the value you see in your partner and remember, it never gets old.

10. Show affection

Affection connects love in a way that words cannot. When with your partner, be affectionate and express your love through touch.

Touch his hair, hold his hand, kiss him, and put your arm around him. Physical touch can create intimacy and show your partner that you want to be physically close to him always.

11. Spend some alone time together

Life can get busy with work, kids, -laws, friends, and others. Make sure you set aside some time to spend alone with your partner.

Focus on your partner and deliberate things that are meaningful to both of you; make a date night and enjoy doing something together.

12. Be kind

Kindness is the best predictor of stability and long-term relationship. Being kind shows your partner that you are interested in showing love in the relationship.

Those who see kindness as a muscle that must be exercised experience more positive connections than those who see kindness as a fixed trait.

13. Share Joy

Celebrate your partner’s good news. Be there for your partner when things are hard, but especially be there when your partner experiences positive news.

Partners who celebrate good news together have better long-term stability. Show that you support your partner and share in his joy. Give your partner your full attention when he shares the news.

14. Give Five Times More Positive Interactions than Negative Interactions

Research shows that for every negative interaction, five positive interactions must occur to repair the damage and restore the relationship.

If negative interactions are not counter-acted, they can accumulate and cause couples to grow apart.

These are the ways you can express your love to someone.
