‘I Love You’ Means…
When you love someone, what does that mean?
To me, if I love someone, it means
You are one of the few people who I let into my inner circle.
You are a priority in my life: I make as much time as possible for and with you. I want to include you in everything in my life. I want you to feel involved and to have a say in everything.
I ensure you know the people I know, you know the types of relationships I have with these people, and how I behave and interact with them.
I see and value your heart.
You are special and precious to me.
I protect you, our relationship, and how I feel about you.
I do what it takes to make you feel safe, secure, and trusting of and with me.
Your input is like gold to me.
I highly value your feelings, your input about me, and your perspective of me.
I want to know anything which is keeping you from feeling safe, secure and trusting of me.
I use your input to help me learn how to be better, do better, and aim towards being my best self.
I want to deeply know you, who you are, how and what you think, what you want, why you do what you do, your struggles, your goals, your secrets, etc. And I want you to know these things about me as well.
You do not have to compete for my attention, interest and love.
I am disinterested in getting attention from other people because I make the most important the most important. And you are part of the most important.
You get the benefit of my learning from my mistakes, my diligent work on improving myself, my prioritizing what really matters.
You can count on me to have strong morals, values, principles and boundaries—so you can rest easy and enjoy the security of our relationship.
Having you in my life, along with my children, is everything I could want on this planet.
I want to share and experience life with you—whatever we choose to do together, and whatever I’m doing as an individual as well.
I adore you. I honor you. I respect you. I support you in your life purpose.
You are absolutely beautiful to me: inside and out.
I nurture you with my attention, affection, adoration, and awe.
That you’re in my life, that I get to do life with you, continuously makes me grateful, amazed and humbled.
If you ever have fears with me, I will work with you to help me correct my choices which are making you feel that way.
I take full accountability and responsibility for myself in my life, my choices and in our relationship.
I’m your ally and foxhole partner. We are an unstoppable team. Nothing will pull me away from our mission together and my respectable life purpose.
I admit my struggles, flaws and weaknesses to you and ask for your help.
I am personally-responsible for my own self care and well-being.
Yet, I need you. I need your friendship, companionship, attention and love.
I will never take you for granted.
You have my loyalty, devotion, and investment.
