How to Tell Your Husband You Love Him

Words: Let's face it, one of the best ways to tell your husband that you love him is to just say it. However, some ways of saying those words are better than others. For example, maybe whispering it into his ear, as you walk past him sitting on the couch would be more effective than yelling "I love you" as he walks out the door to work, and you are busy with something else. Saying it and meaning it are two different things, so be sure that when you tell your husband you love him using that simple phrase, "I love you!" that your actions back up what you are saying.

That brings us to the next way you can tell your husband you love him. Not everyone is good at words, and a great option is to use your actions to say it for you.


Actions: Actions to tell your husband you love him do not have to be huge. They can be the small things like keeping the house picked up; having a snack or meal prepared for him when he gets home; rubbing his tired feet while he watches Sports Center; or even just a hug and a kiss, or a smile when you see him.

Often times people think that it takes big gifts, or elaborate shows to let someone know you love them. However, the little things done on a daily basis will tell him you love him far more than a big gift here or there. Small gestures go a long way to making someone know and feel that they are cared about. You can do little things that take no extra time. For example, when you go to the store, pick up his favorite candy bar. It costs less than sixty cents, and can really make him realize how much you care, and think about him.

When he has to work late, tape of Tivo his favorite show so he does not miss it. That takes you all of 2 minutes, and can be a really loving gesture. On Saturday, or his day off work, let him sleep in that extra half an hour, even if you need him to be up for something, or to help you with the kids.

If you both work, actions that can help you tell your husband you love him can be stopping in at his place of work during your lunch hour so you can see each other for a few minutes during the day. Maybe calling for delivery, and have lunch delivered to his office, from you. You could scrape the snow off his windows before he leaves for work, or make sure he has gloves, and a coat where he can find them.

There are a million little things you can do, actions you can take, that take only moments, but that will really show that you love him. The best way to tell your husband you love him through actions is to do something selfless. Tell him to go play video games and you will fold the laundry yourself. Etc.

Notes: Another great way to tell your husband you love him is to write him a note. Notes are always appreciated. You can buy an inexpensive sticky pad, and leave little "love notes" on the bathroom mirror for him in the mornings. You could make a list of things you love about him, that can serve as a great reminder of your love for him when times get rough. You can simply write a note that says, "I love you!" Writing it makes it more real, it is like a contract, verbally it may not mean much, but in writing, it is set in stone.

Body Language: Your body language goes a long way when telling your husband you love him. Make sure that when you kiss him you let your body rest and enjoy the kiss. Even if it is just for a moment, you do not want him to feel like the kiss was rushed, so that you could move to the next thing you need to do. Smile often when you see him. Be relaxed, folded arms or clenched fists do not express love. Back up your words and actions with appropriate body language.

You do not have to be a great orator or poet to tell your husband you love him. Just remember to tell him, say it, show it, and do the little things that enforce it.
