Every day is a special occasion and an opportunity to appreciate the gift of living with love in your life. One of the most powerful ways to honor the gift of love is by expressing it every single day.

How often do you express your love to your partner and to the people you care about?

How often do you express your love to your partner and to the people you care about? Many people tell me they don’t express it because their loved ones “already know they love them.” Often, the love you feel may seem obvious and taken for granted to you, but people need not only acts of love—they also need to hear it expressed.

Research by Walter and Lee (1999) showed that people are **47% more likely to feel close** to a family member who frequently expresses love, compared to one who expresses it rarely.

It’s common to assume that your partner and loved ones already know your feelings. The truth is, daily life often creates doubts about others’ love, even if these doubts are sometimes irrational.

Make it a habit to express your love every day in the best way possible, and notice the relief and strong connection you feel with your partner and loved ones. The more authentically you express your love, the more love you attract into your life. Allow yourself to say “I love you” sincerely, openly, and wholeheartedly—not only to those you care about, but also to yourself.
