The way to tell someone that you really love them is by not saying anything at all. When you want to reveal what is truly in your heart, sometimes it comes down to wearing your heart on your sleeve. After awhile, sometimes words go in one ear and out the other. What is revealed when one says nothing at all, however, tends to linger in the heart, possibly even stored in a special place and treasured forever.

It doesn't take much to show someone just how much you love them. Sometimes the most grandest of gestures can fall short when the big surprise drowns out the message that you really meant to relay. The three magic words that we all long to hear do look more glamorous when written in the sky or on a scoreboard. However, while this is something that your significant other probably will never forget, it is not always necessary to announce to God and everyone that you love someone. Saying I love you can be just as meaningful when whispered into your significant other's ear in the middle of a movie at the theater, during a walk in the park or just before the two of you turn in for the night.

Saying I love you isn't reserved for special occasions it's something that needs to be not only heard but seen throughout the year. It is true when they say it's the little things that count. It's the little things that hold relationships together and helps them to blossom into what they eventually become. Relationships can not grow on words alone. They need to be properly cultivated by a thoughtful person who can multi-task and try their best to pay attention to the individual details that makes their relationship special.

Showing how much you love someone isn't complicated nor is it expensive or time consuming. Though we often times have all the excuses in the world, keeping the love alive in one's relationship is well within our reach if we just have the foresight to do so. Taking a quick trip to the grocery store, reach over to where your partner is sitting and gently squeeze their knee. Can't be with your mate as much as you like, hide notes in their pockets, in his brief case, in their purse or even in their lunch if they take one. Write down a meaningful message that will probably stay with them for the rest of the day. Reach out and hold their hand when you're walking down the street. A back rub out of the blue often times does the trick too. It's the little things that add up to a lot down the road.

Showing someone that you love them should be an everyday endeavor. Don't save all your romantic gestures for a special occasion. Wear your heart on your sleeve, at least when you get home, everyday and for no reason in particular. Treat that special someone in your life as if they matter and even mean the world to you.
