There is one little phrase in the English language that everyone understands. We all hear it and we all say it. It makes the person we are talking to glow and to hear it makes us sometimes shed a tear. That little phrase is someone else telling us “I Love You.” 

It is so important not only to hear that phrase, but also to know the person saying it really means it. We all need to be loved and we all love someone, sometime. Nobody could have said it better than Dean Martin when he sang the now famous melody “Everybody Loves Somebody Sometime.” Not even Frank Sinatra, who had recorded the same tune some time earlier, could match Dean’s resonant, crooning baritone. 

Yes, we all love and we all are loved, at least once in our lifetime. If you don’t think you have been loved maybe it’s because the person who loved you didn’t understand the importance of saying those three little magic words; “I Love You.” Those words hold a world of change, passion, hope and liberty in them. To know someone loves you then to hear that person say the words; there is no more exciting exhilaration than that. 

It is very important to make certain you say those words to the one you love. It is vital to make certain they understand that you really do love them. Love is a strong aphrodisiac and it instills in people that security and safety we all search for. If we can but have at least one person who truly does love us and is not afraid to let us know, we can usually make it through almost anything that falls in our way. 

Some specific reasons why it is important to make sure you mouth those words to your loved one at least once a day if not more could include; 

1) SECURITY: Let the one you are with, know your love is still hers. Give her that security of knowing there is a man out there who thinks deeply of me; a man who wants only me. Knowing someone loves you can make a person feel very safe and secure. 

2) INTIMACY: There is no greater human intimacy than the action true love invokes. Rather than simply go through the passionate activity with all the moves and strokes, embellish your love by reminding the one you are with that you really do love them. Remind them that what you are doing is reserved only for the one you love and that one is her. 

3) TRUST: It has been said that trust is at the base of every relationship. Without trust the relationship will not flourish. This may be true. Reminding
