Just because they may have a bad marriage doesn't mean they don't love each other; or, they may do it as a politeness to other people around them.
Either way, it's not really any of your business. If you're looking for something to rile you up why not pick world hunger or something?

The phrase, "I love you" is over used with many couples. If you have to say it all the time, you likely don't really mean it or you say it to be excused for bad behavior in your marriage. The people who really bug me insist on ending every phone call with the statement, "I love you."
I know for a fact that some of my relatives and friends have terrible marriages, but they are saying, "I love you" to their spouse all the time.
Talk is cheap, actions are not!
I don't think it is your place to decide how other people should address their spouses.
I have a great loving relationship with my wife and don't have to say it all the time. If I said it 10 times a day would that make me a better husband?
If my husband said it less to me, would that make him a better husband?
And who are you to determine that so many of your friends and family have "bad marriages"? Given your propensity for continually complaining and criticizing others they likely (if they even give a toss) think yours must be pretty horrible. I can't imagine how living with you and your constant harping could translate to a "great loving relationship" with your wife unless she's been wearing earplugs for years.

I read that in Scandinavia, the husband typically says "I love you" once to his wife or live-in SO. Once, that's it. The reasoning is that there's no need to repeat it, or say anything more, unless there's a change in status. When asked about this by researchers, Swedes typically say, "When I stop loving her, I'll tell her. But if there's no change, there's no need to repeat it."
You can't beat the logic. Try it, OP, and see how well your relationship does.

A, She is a fictional character. B, just as miserable as the op. C, she tuned him out decades ago.
You know, I say "I love you" to my husband everytime we speak on the phone for the simple reason that it just might be the last time we ever speak.
I do the same to my sibling and my mother. My mother and I have not had the best relationship, and phone calls are rare, but when they happen I say "I love you." Because I do.
Mind your own business, OP. I hope that you have someone in your life to hear those three words.
they are trying to live the truth by at least declaring it. i dont see an abundance of love expressed verbally or otherwise with married people. i have only been celibate once in my life, when married. i think married people are like employees that went from temp to perm. they immediately develop attitude and began to sluff off their obligations.
