26 Ways Couples Say 'I Love You' Without Saying A Word

50 Shades was not to my taste. That kind of stuff is just too edgy for me.

But "26 Ways...." I'm not a real verbal person, so some of this really appeals to me. And some of it (I was pleased to see) I actually put into practice.
My favorite ways to say I Love You:
Quote:
10. “He kisses me goodbye and then I see him eyeing my tires to make sure they’re filled with air.” — Clarees E





6. “I have night terrors and PTSD and he stays up so I can fall asleep first so I know I’m safe.” — Taye S.

I could have written this one complete with the "12 years strong":

7. “He makes me dinner every night. 12 years strong.” — Katy A.




Actually, he has been doing this for longer than our 12 years of marriage.



There are so many other ways that he says he loves me.

I adore this! It really is the little things that can mean the most, and the majority of them are free. If you look over the list, it's being thought of, and things you said were paid attention to and remembered that jumps out in every one. And it doesn't have to cost a thing.

Awww that's really sweet, made me feel all warm and fuzzy inside. It's also made me want to start dating again!

Is there an article about what WOMEN do for their men/relationships? I know 26 would be a stretch, 1-3 things would be fine.

Not an article, but plenty of examples here:

8. “He lets me sleep in and brings me bacon sandwiches in bed when I’ve been out till 6 a.m. on a girls night out.” — Ze N.

Sounds like a **** to me.

14. “He carries band-aids if we go out on the town because he knows my shoes will start to chafe!” — Ashleigh M.


This lady needs to get some proper shoes.




Some of these are sweet and some are just what I'd think a normal relationship has. Others just sound really nuts.

But really I fail to see how this relates to 50 shades (which is outright abuse, thinly veiled as BDSM. Which is something that's a true delight when done right.)

I'll admit that it pains me to say it...but, agreed.

The list is sweet but I have no idea why this post is about. Why are you comparing a list to a book in an either or situation? Doesn't really make sense to me... And they aren't about similar things either...
