7 ways to say ‘I love you’ without saying a word

There’s more than one way to skin a cat. You don’t have to say a word to express your love for someone.

Instead of saying ‘I love you’, try these alternative ways to show your love without uttering a word:

1. Help them out

A happy couple in their kitchen, cooking.

When someone is stuck, actions will speak louder than words. When your partner is in need and you step up and give a hand, they will know that you actually love them even though you don’t say it.

2. Compromise

Is there that one person who always compromises for your sake? They are just trying to show you how much they love you. If they miss their family gathering because they don’t want to miss your graduation, that is love in its purest form.

3. Hug them

We are not talking about an ordinary hug. It’s that special tight hug that is warm and reassuring. Be the way you hug someone, they can tell how you feel towards them.

4. Be an active listener

Nothing is annoying as when you really want someone to hear you out but they are busy scrolling their phones. If you want to show love without saying it, be an active listener. Don’t just hear, listen to what they say attentively.

5. Make time for them

Even if it means sacrificing something you love, it’s worth it for someone you truly love. Sometimes it’s about sacrificing your boys’ time just to be with her.

6. Gift them

One of the languages of love is gifts. If your partner’s love language is gifts, they will know how much you love them if you gift them more often.

7. Give them genuine compliments

Men and women love compliments equally.
