Fancy something different to “I love you”?
If you aren’t that keen on those three little words, or if you just want some other ways to express your feelings for your partner, try these options instead.
10. I feel so lucky to have you in my life.
Out of all the billions of people in this world, the two of you somehow found your way to one another. If that’s not a massive stroke of luck, I don’t know what is! Let your loved one know you feel lucky that they are a major presence in your life.
9. I am devoted to you.
Devotion is the act of dedicating yourself to something, or in this case someone. You are expressing that you are ready to be with this person for the rest of your life and put in the effort required to have a happy and healthy relationship. That’s quite something.
8. I can’t get enough of you, and never will.
Sometimes, you can have too much of a good thing. But you can’t say that about your partner. You simply can’t get enough of them—you will never tire of them and the way they make you feel. They’ll be glad to hear it from you.
7. I appreciate you and the things you do for our relationship.
The little things so often go overlooked, and this can cause issues in any relationship. Tell your partner that you fully recognize and appreciate everything they do for you and your relationship—it will make them feel valued.
6. I can’t put into words my feelings for you.
It can be hard to find the right words to express how you feel for your partner, and that’s a truly wonderful thing. So why not tell them that? Tell them that you can’t begin to describe how much you care and how much they matter.
5. I am grateful for every moment I spend with you.
Give thanks for your partner by telling them how much gratitude you have for their presence in your life and for all the wonderful experiences you get to share with them, hopefully for the rest of your lives together.
4. You are the most important person in my life.
You don’t have to feel awkward about ranking the people in your life, not when it’s so clear to you that your partner sits right at the top of that list. I bet they will feel amazing if you let them know that they are more important to you than anyone else.
3. You’re the best!
They are, aren’t they? They are the best friend you could possibly have, the best companion to spend time with, the best person to cozy up with under a blanket to watch the sunrise. Tell them!
2. You are so ___, and I love that about you.
What’s something that you love about your partner? Their kindness and generosity? They calmness? Their spirit of adventure? Their natural flair for making others feel good about themselves? I’m sure they’d like to hear you say so to them.
1. You mean so much to me.
How much does your partner mean to you? An awful lot, no doubt. They are the person you think of most each day, the person you look forward to seeing, the person you want to spend the rest of your days with. Let them know this…often.
