Different Ways Of Saying ‘ I Love You.’

There are different ways of saying, ‘I love you.‘ Some people will do it more with words. Others will demonstrate it more by actions. Take for example the husband who makes breakfast for his wife and packs his wife’s lunch each day. Because he works closer to home, he has more time than she does. He would rather have her in bed with him for an extra fifteen minutes and then, while she is having a shower and getting ready, he will make her breakfast and pack her lunch. That’s one way this husband shows how much he loves her. … Continue reading →

The Things That Matter

This wasn’t what I was planning to write. But after reading this article about Brogan Mackay I couldn’t help it. If you read through, you find this girl has Gucci handbags and designer clothes and expensive TV and computers etc but what about all that she doesn’t have? Yes, this 11 year old has all the things that money can buy, what I would question is whether she has any of the things that matter.

When you think of acts of love, perhaps you think of the obvious one like the sexual act, kisses, cuddles and the like. Sure they are important acts of love. But there are others.

Having been on the receiving end of a spider bite after … Continue reading →

In a recent article that I read, the writer was taking a look at some of the craziest things people (mainly stars) have done for love or out of love for their mate. While many of the incidents were crazy, I began thinking that some of the readers must have much crazier tales to tell. I will share some of the tales listed from the article and … Continue reading →

Declare Your Devotion

Posted on by

I have been talking about intimacy a great deal and how communication and constant checks and rechecks are a part of maintaining your intimacy with your spouse. Another facet of maintaining intimacy is declaring your devotion. Over and over and over again. For example, I kept track one day out of sheer curiosity – my daughter said “I love you” to me 28 times in one day. That’s more than twice per hour when you consider she’s only awake for about 12 hours of the day. She declares her love on a regular and consistent basis. I understand her need … Continue reading →
