What word means more than i love you

When You Love Him Or Her SO MUCH

Are you familiar with the warm, fuzzy and cuddly feeling that you get when you’re in love? The love birds here will understand for sure. You can’t really explain the experience but it’s one heck of a ride. It’s literally sugar, spice and everything nice all mixed together in the bond of two people. From the beginning of a relationship, when there was nervousness, butterflies, always trying to look the best to long term casually sitting in each other’s laps, being yourself and just so happy to be with them. That’s a journey worth taking.

Some adorable ways you love them:

You might be thinking, in what way do you NOT love them? When you adore every little habit, activity, or the mere existence of that person, then you are so in love and maybe even you can’t explain it.

You love the way they smell

When you’re with someone for a long time, you get habitual of their particular scent. It might be their signature perfume for sure, but mostly it’s their own natural fragrance that keeps you all hooked up. You can smell it everywhere, their clothes, your clothes, your sheets, your pillows. And it’s amazing! You can’t get enough of it.

You love the way they laugh

Okay so frankly, your girl/guy might not have the prettiest or the most sophisticated laugh BUT it drives you crazy. You would want to capture it, make a video, no matter how embarrassed they are. But it’s just weird that they don’t get that you actually love it from the core and your heart melts every single time.

You love the way they make you feel

Every relationship is different, you might feel your better half makes you feel like a better person, or you might feel confident around them even though you aren’t usually, you might feel you’re the most hilarious person ever. Whatever you feel, it’s because of your loved one and you love this feeling. That’s what you want to be and maybe that’s what you’re becoming.

You love the way they just exist

Ever get caught in the moment when you’re just staring at your boo, not realizing what else is happening around you. And then they snap you out of it. You realise that you’re so in love with their mere existence that you want to cherish each moment and just make every moment with them, worth the while.

15 Words — Expressions And Foreign Language That Means More Than «I Love You»

Have you ever seen the look on your boyfriend’s/girlfriend’s face when you say those three special words out loud? That blush, that instant, and genuine smile. What will you not give to see that smile forever? So what if you knew some other phrases and expressions that mean much deeper and are the cutest. Obviously, saying something over and over can get a little dull too. So add these 15 in your vocabulary and make their day.

1. Je t’aime

Oh the French, they’re so smooth with their language and their kisses and their most romantic places in the world. Even the word ‘French’ reeks of love and romance, the mere thought of it makes you start imagining the Eiffel Tower and how you’d want to take your lover to the top and kiss them as you mean it. 

You can add this little French note anywhere in a text, a little note on the fridge, maybe with some croissants at breakfast. These words mean much more than you think.

2. Te amo

Spanish people and their traditions go long back. You might think a simple ‘Te Amo’ is just a replacement to ‘I love you’ but that’s not the case. The meaning runs deep and when you add a red rose to the equation, you bring out the legend of Saint Jordi, who killed a dragon to save a princess and then from where the dragon’s blood had spilled, he picked up a rose that had sprouted there. Since then it has been a thing to give roses to women in Spain.

3. Du bist die Liebe meines Lebens

Sure German is one of the toughest ones to learn and speak. Just like this phrase which means “You are the love of my life», holds the position of being the highest level of a declaration of love in German. Just like other fields of life like science and business, Germans are very competent in their love lives. If a guy brings flowers for a girl he wants to take out on a date, then he must bring some for her mother too. This is pure respect and sincerity.

4. 我爱你 (Wo ai ni)

Mandarin Chinese, each word of this language has a deep meaning and a long scroll of history attached to it. They take it very seriously and very romantically as well. they have a saying that Lovers’ hearts are linked together and always beat as one. See how magical this is? When you say this expression, you mean you are linked with that person by heart. There’s just one problem that phrases as I love you, come a bit too powerful for the Chinese, but for you boo, it’s perfect.

5. 愛してる (Aishiteru)

In Japan, this word means I love you, simple. BUT it’s not so simple when you follow Japanese culture. here you’re only supposed to say this phrase when you’re wholeheartedly committed to someone. This one is not to be taken lightly. So when you’ll say this to your partner, make sure they know what importance it holds in Japan, and you love them like the Japanese do, unconditionally.

6. 죽을 만큼 사랑해 (Jugeul mankeum saranghae)

Yes, we all love the Koreans, their series, their music and definitely their love. Sometimes only I love you isn’t enough so you use this expression which means ‘I love you to death’. Wouldn’t you want to just hug and squeeze your lover to…death? Borderline creepy but genuine. It has a similar touch to the phrase ’till death do us part’.

7. يا قمر (Ya Amar)

Pronounced as Ya Kamar, this Arabic phrase will refer your lover to the Moon. As the Moon has always been a symbol of beauty and love. So it will be you, calling them ‘my most beautiful’.

8. آپ کے لئے میری محبت کو الفاظ بیان نہیں کر سکتے (aap kay liye meri muhabbat ko alfaaz byan nahin kar sakte)

Along with French, Urdu has its own place in being the most romantic language. This phrase translates as «Words can’t describe my love for you.» How cute it is to use other languages with your lover because words actually can’t describe your love.

9. Θέλω να είμαστε μαζί για πάντα (thelo na imaste mazi gia panda)

Convey your seriousness to your babe in Greek by saying «I want to be together forever.» What’s more reassuring than this statement?

10. Sei tutto per me

“You are everything to me.” Italians are passionate and they don’t leave any opportunity to express it, ever. From their dances to romantic movies, the Italians sure no how to do it. Along with that, flirting is an art in Italy and it can be proven by a number of expressions there are which replace the original ‘I love you’. Chivalry is inborne among the Italian men, from opening doors to paying for dates. They know how to get the girl.

11. Ты луч солнца в пасмурный день (ty luch solntsa v pasmurnyy den’)

Translation, “You are a ray of sunshine on a rainy day.” Simply sweet, this Russian expression is easy to learn and say.

12. נועדנו להיות יחד (noadnu lihiyot yakhad)

In the Hebrew culture, love is something more than just a feeling or an emotion, it’s an action. This phrase translates to “we were meant to be together.”

13. Nemehotatse

The Cheyenne say ‘I love you’ this way. This group of Native Americans has a saying, “Certain things catch your eye, but pursue only those that capture the heart.” So you know who caught your heart, don’t hesitate to tell them.

14. Mahal kita

Tagalog is a language spoken in the Philipines, and Mahal Kita gives an expression of love. You can make this phrase even more intense by simply adding mahal twice or even thrice. ‘Love’ will be conveyed with twice or thrice the intensity.

15. ᓇᒡᓕᒋᕙᒋᑦ (Nagligivaget)

The language is Inuktitut, by the Inuit people. This means I love you, but with the promise that love reaches even the darkest and coldest corners of the Earth.

Summary

It is true that love is a feeling, which cannot really be put into words, but expressions and phrases like these sure touch hearts, especially when they mean so much underneath. These 15 creative ways to convey the usual ‘I love you’ make you realize how different regions and cultures have their very own definitions of love. It truly is magical and extraordinary.

We all love hearing those three magical words. They bring warmth to our hearts and give us the feels in all the right ways.

They bring us so much happiness to the point we could listen to those words every day and never get bored of them.

“I love you.” It’s heart-melting, and when it’s said by the person you love, your whole body buzzes with electricity.

This phrase brings two hearts closer. It opens the doors and creates a connection between them that you never want to ruin.

But do you know that there are different things you can say to your partner that mean even more than “I love you”? If they were to compete, “I love you” would be close to the bottom as these phrases radiate love in its fullness.

When you hear them, you’ll totally get what I’m talking about.

1. I’m here for you

It’s easy to love someone through happiness and good times.

But to love them when things get hard and when life gets in the way, that’s what tests the power of your love.

You come home busy from work, broken from the burden of the day, and your loved one meets you at the door, instantly aware of how you’re feeling.

He pulls you into his arms and tells you, “Shh, don’t worry. I’m here for you!”

At that moment, you leave the weight of the day at the door and step inside feeling happy that you don’t have to go through life all alone.

2. I trust you

It’s a well-known fact that no relationship can succeed without trust.

When you get to that stage when you truly trust your partner, you enter a whole other level in a relationship.

So, when you tell your loved one “I trust you,” it means that you can imagine your future together.

You know that you can share every single detail with them and they will never judge you or play with your feelings.

“I trust you” means “I’m letting you in and giving you my heart because I know that you won’t hurt it.”

And if that isn’t deeper and more meaningful than “I love you” then I don’t know what is.

3. I wouldn’t change a thing about you

Fake, short-term relationships are about finding someone, having fun with them, but letting them go once you start seeing their flaws.

A real relationship is about finding that person who suits you perfectly and knowing that they’re far from being flawless.

It’s about seeing their imperfections and embracing each and every one of them.

It’s about hearing “I would never change anything about you” and truly knowing that the person saying it is honest.

4. I believe in you

Is there anything better than to have support in everything you do? To have someone who believes in you, even when you don’t believe in yourself?

This phrase is full of hidden feelings and means more than “I love you.”

When someone believes in you, it’s as if you’ve been given wings and you’re ready to fly wherever you want.

And someone down there will always be cheering for you.

5. Text me when you get there

“I care about you and I want to be sure that you’ve arrived safely and that everything’s alright.” That’s what the person is actually saying.

Combined with “drive safely” and “someone loves you,” this phrase is full of emotions as the person genuinely cares about your safety and well-being all the time.

6. How are you feeling?

When life gets busy, the only thing you need is a person who’ll be there for you and who’ll want to know what’s going on in your mind.

It’s nice when you hear someone tell you that they love you.

But it’s even better when that person sincerely asks you, “How are you feeling?” and actually listens to your response.

It’s a sign that their words are honest and their feelings real. They could probably listen to you for days if that would make you feel better.

And they’d do everything just to see a smile on your face.

7. You look beautiful

You may think that this one is superficial and has nothing to do with true feelings and emotions.

The truth is that everyone can tell you this, even a complete stranger who walks past you on the street.

But when you see him stop for a second, recollect himself, stare deeply into your eyes, and tell you “Wow, you look beautiful” – that’s when your world twists and turns because he’s not just using his words to get something.

8. I’ve got your back, no matter what

Unconditional love includes unconditional support. “I’ve got your back” is the foundation of that support.

It makes you feel safe and secure.

No matter what happens, you can always trust the person because you know that they’d never leave you to fend for yourself.

Your happiness and success are as important to them as their own, so they’ll back you come hell or high water.

9. What do you think?

It may be unconventional, but when the person you love asks you this, it means that they care about your opinion.

They want to take it into consideration before making a decision.

And you already know that we never ask for the opinion of those we don’t care about.

They don’t play an important role in our lives, so we don’t bother about what they think.

But you mean even more to him than you know if he sits in front of you and asks you “What do you think about it?”

You’re not only a part of his heart anymore, you’re now a part of his life.

10. Everything’s going to be fine

When life pushes you to the edge, all you need is someone to make you feel like things will get better.

You need someone to be your rock in the darkest of days and stormiest of nights.

And when you meet the one who hugs you tightly and tells you that everything is going to be fine, you know that you’ve found your special one.

You’re sure that they’ll always be right next to you, come what may.

When you find the one who makes you feel all of the right emotions, says all the right things, and holds you in his arms like you’re the only girl in his world, you know you’ve found your home.

By Sue Nador

A couple years ago, my son Micah was part of an ensemble at a jazz concert. My sister Anita is a huge fan and came to watch him play his alto sax. After the concert I thanked her for joining us.

Well, if that didn’t set her off.

Anita was insulted. Why would I thank her for coming to watch her nephew perform? This seemed unnecessarily formal and made her feel like she was some distant relation rather than a central player in my children’s lives.

In my defense, I said that John (my husband) and I always thank each other for stuff like this. And we don’t find it insulting—quite the opposite. While there is a formality in our marriage that often seems peculiar to my sister, it works for us.

Please don’t get the wrong idea. We are far from prim and proper. It’s not like we refer to each other as “Madame” or “Sir”. We don’t curtsy or bow when we meet. I don’t wear pearls and sensible pumps at home, and John doesn’t walk around sporting a cravat.

But we don’t let our hair down completely either. And that is a conscious decision. We think some modicum of formality, appropriate boundaries, and keeping secrets from each other (I don’t want my husband to know everything on my mind. God no.) is important for our relationship. We are trying to be on our best behavior even after such a long time.

It is rare for us to raise our voices (although when one of us does, it is always me). I can count the number of times we (again, usually me) have wanted to take back something we’ve said in an emotional outburst. For sure our relationship is not devoid of petty grievances (I won’t bore you)—but we have maintained a fairly strict code of civility.

And this civility includes the formality of saying “thank you” for many things.

My husband will thank me for joining him at a classical concert because he knows I go to be with him. I will thank him for coming to plays because that is more my thing. He thanks me for making nice dinners (even though he could reasonably expect me to make dinner given I work fewer hours). I always thank him for taking the time to read my writing (even though I know he reads it to assess any potential damage to his reputation). He thanks me for cleaning up. I always thank him for driving at the end of a long trip (he enjoys driving more than me).

And we thank each other for much more too.

It would be easy to take each other for granted, especially after all this time. But we like the formality of giving and receiving a proper thank-you.

Thanking each other for big things as well as little day-to-day things is important to us. It doesn’t take much time, it doesn’t cost a thing, and hearing “thank you” is all the motivation we need to keep trying hard to make each other happy.

The words ‘I love you’ have a lot of power. There’s nothing like the feeling you get when you love and know you’re loved! 

But it turns out that there is another phrase that couples believe means more to them, and it’s all to do with being there for that special someone. 

A relationship expert has suggested that there could be another phrase which will help us connect more and reach out when we’re in a tiff, and that is:

«How can I help?»

Many people don’t ask for help because they worry it burdens others. So, it’s always important to have open communication and support for your loved one. 

Psychologist Jane Greer has opened up on the subject, saying, «A lot of times, we will look to help by offering advice, which typically is the last thing someone wants to hear or will find helpful.

«How can I help?» conveys five important things: You’re tuned in to your partner, aware of what they’re going through, considering their feelings and needs, empathetic to their situation, and looking to help out on a supportive, concrete level.»

Take your Radio, Podcasts and Music with you

I’m here for you.   This is such powerful phrase.  It’s a sentence that will make even the strongest of us feel weak in the knees.  Loving someone is great, but loving someone and being there for someone are two different ideologies.  I feel as a society we may have forgotten that.

The phrase ‘I love you’ gets thrown around so loosely these days.  It seems as though it has almost lost its meaning.  Anyone can say I love you, but actions are more powerful than words.  Many times we know when someone loves us.  They don’t have to say it. You can tell by what they do for you and how they treat you. Those actions include just being there for you.

Not only being there for you in your time of need, but being there for you in your time of joy and happiness.  It’s great to just have that person in your corner.  

Loving someone doesn’t mean that you will always be there for that person,  but being there for that person always means that you love them.

Someone being there for you is so fulfilling.  Knowing that you have that person that you can run to  is a wonderful safety net.  Whenever you feel like you’re freefalling you can be confident that you will have that person to catch you.

 This person doesn’t need to be a lover.  This person can be a brother, sister, or best friend.  While a significant other is always nice don’t forget that before you met that person you had a base camp of mom, dad, siblings, and friends.  Know that no matter what’s going on in your life they will always be there for you… as you should be for them.   Never take these relationships for granted.  They can disappear faster than you would ever expect.

You should be there for them.  Listen, reach out, email, or send a random text just to say that you love them.  No reason needed.  Just that you are thinking about them.  Even if they don’t reply back take comfort in the fact that you made them smile and feel loved.  That is a feeling that everyone can appreciate.

My Aunt TC does that to me every once in awhile and even though I don’t always reply back… I love her to death.  It brightens my whole day when I receive a text message from her first thing in the morning.  I am so blessed.  I really am.

Today is Monday.  When you get a chance, please send one of your friends a random text message saying, “I’m here for you. Always.” 

Make someone’s Monday special.  Words are your most powerful resource. Let someone know that you are there for them. 

Happy Monday Y’all!

In the comments below tell me who you’re going to text message and why.  This morning I will text my mom and my Aunt to let them know I always have their back.

«I Really, Really Like You.»

You love your husband, of course, but don’t you like who he is (as a person, a partner, a father), too? Pilemer says what really makes a relationship last long-term isn’t that undeniable chemistry, but a deep, meaningful friendship. «Men who have been married a long time tell me that it’s important to be loved, yes, but they need to know that their spouse likes and values him as a person, that you enjoy hanging out, that you find him funny and interesting.» In other words, don’t be afraid to highlight his unique, even quirky qualities that you fell in love with in the first place. Something like, «I like the way you sing John Mellencamp while you cook» can brighten his day, and sometimes something as simple as «I’m so lucky to have you in my life» can mean more than those three little words.

«Thank You.»

It’s unlikely that there are two other words that hold a stronger meaning in a relationship, says Charles Orlando, relationship expert and author of The Pact: Goodbye, Past. Hello, Love!, so use them—and use them often. «Too often gratitude disappears and we start taking people for granted in the humdrum noise of life,» he says. «Spouses forget to appreciate each other—not just for what they do, but for who they are.» Think about it: When you go to Starbucks and someone hands you change, you say thank you. That’s showing gratitude to a complete stranger. Do the same for your husband, and try to thank him for one thing every day, whether it’s just being there to hang with after a long day, or helping put the kids to bed so you can take care of the laundry. When you do, Orlando says you’ll quickly realize it’s the easiest way to keep him happy and motivated to try and make you feel the same.

«Can I Help?»

You already know it’s no good for your marriage to keep tabs on who pulls more weight around the house, and it’s really easy for women forget that they’re not the only ones who feel overwhelmed with work, the kids, and everything else going on—men have pretty long to-do lists, too. «Offering to help your husband when he’s stressed, or just because you want to make him feel loved, is better than giving gifts,» says Pilemer. Bonus: He says that simple gestures, like offering to take the dog out even though that’s normally his chore, can act more like an aphrodisiac than any other gesture, as it reminds both of you that you’re a team that tackles things together. So next time he seems totally swamped with work and there’s no way you can help in that department, go for the little things—Pilemer says doing it out of generosity, not for a score sheet, will show much you really care.

«You’re An Amazing Dad.»

Men are hardwired to be providers, so taking care of the family is an important part of who they are and how they feel about their place within that family. When you see him playing on the floor with your little one, or taking your daughter on her first date, telling him right then and there how much you value his involvement will mean the world to him (pro tip: don’t wait until you need him to take the kids to practice, as it’ll make you sound insincere). «It’s a great compliment that men want to hear from the woman in their life,» says Orlando. «Oftentimes, dads end up feeling corrected or unappreciated all of the time because they don’t have the same paternal instincts that a mom usually does.» Plus, sharing that compliment can enhance your sense of family and togetherness that a healthy marriage often needs as soon as children are involved, says Orlando, so you’re really giving yourself a win-win by reminding him of how much you love seeing him in a role other than «husband.»

«I Love When You Touch Me.»

Women aren’t the only ones who need a reminder now and then that their spouse finds them attractive. And over the years, the frequency of sex can slow down. So Samantha Rodman, M.D., clinical psychologist and founder of Dr. Psych Mom says it’s essential to make sure communication about the physical side of your relationship remains wide open. «You don’t want your partner to feel disconnected or underappreciated, and a comment about attraction can help keep that glow going,» she says. «It can be a reminder that you still want to take him to bed, even if there are more days when you’re too exhausted, or just aren’t initiating as much.» Don’t be afraid to get into the nitty-gritty details when the kids are in the other room, or send one of these sexy text messages while he’s at work to send a steamy reminder of why you chose to share a bed with him—exclusively—for the remainder of your days.

«If It’s Important To You, Then Yes.»

Sometimes there are things you just don’t want to do, or you don’t really understand why it needs to be done. But if it’s important to your husband, then telling him that you’re on board serves as a reminder that this is a partnership, and his opinion, dreams, and desires matter just as much as yours. It’s another way of saying, «I’ll sacrifice for you,» or «I support you, and will always have your back.» But if you’re going to say it, then make sure you mean it, says Orlando. «You should never just be placating him in the moment, and then secretly lying in wait with resentful feelings or waiting to say ‘I told you so’ if things don’t work out,» he says. And there’s nothing wrong with being honest about your fears. Admitting you have them doesn’t mean you’re taking away your support, but rather providing an opportunity for you to work through them while saying, «I have faith in your decision, even though I don’t totally get it,» explains Orlando. Everyone has to do that at some point in a marriage, and it shows your husband you’re willing to go out on a ledge for him.

«I Forgive You.»

Fights happen. Hurtful words are said. People lash out. But knowing when to forgive your husband for the things he’s done—and telling him that—is critical because it reminds him that it’s okay to not be perfect. «Your husband should never have to feel like he has to act a certain way in order to please you,» says Orlando. «It’s important that he be able to be exactly who he is, even if that involves the occasional mess-up.» Now, that doesn’t mean it’s okay for him to make the same mistakes over and over agin. When that happens, talk (don’t yell) about the repetitive behavior, and try o figure out a solution that will work for the both of you. And when you decide to forgive him, again, make sure you mean it. «Saying the words without a real feeling behind it is just lip service,» says Orlando, and that doesn’t do anybody any good.

«I’ll Always Choose You.»

It might not feel like it when you’re in the middle of a big fight, but marriage is the culmination of choices—big ones and small ones, sure, but always an everyday choice to stick it out with your partner no matter what. So reminding your husband that you are aware of the choice you’re making, and you don’t want to change it, is imperative. Karen Sherman, Ph.D., psychologist and author of Marriage Magic! Find It, Keep It, and Make It Last says that instead of saying I love you, something like, «If I had to do it all over again, I would still choose you» illustrates your dedication on a deeper level. «It lets the other person know how important they are to you, no matter how many bumps there are along the way,» she says. It helps eliminate any doubt that may be creeping in the back of their mind about the strength of your marriage, and reminds them that you’re still in it for the long haul.
