    I feel that it is very important as is showing it but if you are far apart then hearing and knowing that they truly mean it goes a long way and if they dont say it and you do all the time to them it feels like a HUGE rejection.

    I think its equally important to hear it as to have it shown to you. It great when a person shows it, but theres just something about hearing it come out of the persons mouth, that just adds more proof and overall comfort. Thats basically what it comes down to, the comfort and peace of hearing your loved one say those words to you.

    I think it's important, so long as it's sincere. Sincerity is very important to me. You should never skimp on showing it too, of course, but having that regular verbal confirmation is a special thing.

    Who doesn't like to be told that they are loved? Your partner should definitely hear it. And some of your friends could probably benefit from a little bit of verbal love as well.

    Love you friends!

  • I think it should be said in the proper moments not just a daily routine, otherwise it becomes nothing more than a routine.

      Oh, you know you tell yourself you love you every morning before breakfast. I see you from your closet.
      Also, I'm still eating your cupcake in here.

      • Yeah, but seeing myself in the mirror is always a special occasion, so it's an exception. ;)

        >:O! YOU WHORE! Give it back!!!

    Depends on the people in the relationship. Some people need the reassurance that comes from verbally expressing your feelings regularly. Other people are comfortable without a lot of 'I love yous'.

    So how important it is depends on you.

    It's more important to show it. But saying it is good too.

    I think it is very, very important. It takes but a second to say, it can be said anywhere at any time (whispered or shouted), and it is such a nice thing to hear your very best friend say to you.
    Especially after you've been with someone a long time, things can get a little boring and routine. But I personally, never tire of hearing my lovely lady say to me, "I love you". I love her, too.

  • I think saying it and showing it are equally important. I do everything I can to show my boyfriend I love him AND I say it about 100 times a day because I feel like I need to express it. I think those who are truly and deeply inlove will say it and show it every chance they have, because it comes so naturally.

    It should be said always. When I am in a relationship, And in love, Its said maybe even a few times a day.Not because im insecure,Im just very affectionate. :O

    Equally important. If you say you love a person but dont show it, your words become empty and start to feel like lies. Just do the best you can to find the right balance for your SO to feel loved and it'll be fine.

    Actions are more important, I'm sure many people have said 'forgive me I love you' after beating their partner to a pulp.
