Stop saying 'I love you' and act.

One challenge for long-term couples is saying “I love you” or “I love you” but the other person doesn’t feel it or doesn’t like it. If possible, replace those words with concrete actions.

There are many other words that can replace the phrase "I love you" (Illustration)

"Thank"

Gratitude is something you should look for in your partner. By saying “Thank you!” you show that you appreciate and value what your partner brings to your life and your relationship. A simple “Thank you!” can go a long way in encouraging both of you to work hard for the relationship.

“I appreciate what you have done”

Like saying “Thank you!”, this phrase shows your positive attitude in acknowledging the actions that nurture the feelings of both of you. This is like your affirmation when going through difficult times together, showing your desire to be closer to her.

“I have you again”

During the difficult times that a marriage goes through, one or both of you have changed your personality and lifestyle but still know how to cherish each other. Going through that period, you just need to gently hug her and say “I have you again”, a sentence that is more touching than any words.

“You are true to yourself”

When taking wedding vows, every couple promises to respect each other. When there is a conflict or disagreement, they should respect each other's opinions even if they are not right, otherwise there will be more tension between the two of them.

Be considerate of each other's feelings

Everyone needs to be listened to and no one else, they want their spouse to understand that. Listening and accepting all the emotions going on around the other person is “struggling”, then finding a solution is what an understanding person needs.
