The three most powerful (and over used) words in the English language are: “I Love You”.

I use the context ‘over used’ here because too many people will say to a date ‘I Love You’, and to them it is just a way of hopefully getting them into bed. That isn’t love. That is nothing more than Lust.

Unfortunately too many people have come to think of sex, lust or even sexual abuse is actually an expression of love. I am sorry people, but that is not the case.

If someone loves you they will treat you with the utmost respect. I am referring to both genders here. Guy’s if you love your Lady, you treat her with tenderness and compassion. Ladies you do the same to your Man.

It really is easy. You don’t have to care what your friends say about how you carry on together. Walk around holding hands, don’t be afraid to hug or cuddle in public. Anyone who chides you about this is, in reality, just frustrated or jealous that they don’t have the same relationship with their partner.

In a true relationship, the three most under used words are “I Love You”. We all to often take for granted that our partner know how we feel about them. We assume that they know what they like and dislike. We assume that they know that we are still in love with them. We assume that they know our love is still as strong or stronger than when we first fell in love with each other.

The mind is a wonderful thing. You can train yourself to think how you feel both physically and mentally. You can wake up in the morning and think that ” I am going to have a wonderful day” or not! You go through your day and nothing or nobody will up set you because that is how your set you mind when you woke up.

It is the same thing with loving your partner. The first thing you should say to them is “I Love You”. The last thing you should say to them is “I Love You”. If you partner doesn’t respond in the same way, don’t be afraid to jab them in the ribs with your elbow (playfully enough for them to notice - but not hard enough to start a argument). When they ask why you did that, ask them if they love you.

Love is a commitment. Ask them for that commitment. If they are not prepared to commit to you, it is time that you both sat down and discussed your relationship.

Long term relationships are a lot of hard work. There will be times when you wonder why you are together. Just remember those three words you say to each other,”I Love You”, and you will remember why you are prepared to put up with your partners little idiosyncrasy’s.

I want you to imagine how you would feel if, in the morning you had a tiff with your partner, and they stomped out the door, got in the car and took off for work. Along the way they were in a fatal motor vehicle accident. You then came to realise that, that morning you had forgotten to tell them “I Love You”.

We hope that this never happens to you.
