Love Messages To Express Romantic Love And Keep Your Relationship Alive

Letting your partner know how you feel about them can be all about expressing yourself and understanding them. After all, how you and your partner express love is likely going to be different than how two other people would express love. 

Love messages can keep your relationship alive

What you do doesn't need to make sense to anyone else, but love messages that mean something to you can be an important part of regularly showing your affection and keeping your relationship alive. In this guide, we’ll talk about why you might want to find new ways to show your love, how you can do so, and what other resources you can use to help foster a healthy bond between you and your partner.

The importance of nurturing each other and your relationship

In the early days of a relationship, it's often easy to give extra doses of loving care to your partner. In fact, it may even seem natural. As relationships grow and mature, however, it can be all too easy to slip into a routine or begin to overlook all the tender ways that both of you showed that you cared.

Learning your partner's love language can help you

Different people can have different love languages, meaning that not everyone shows and feels love in the same way. Learning your partner’s love language(s) can help you effectively communicate that you care about them now and in the future. Sometimes, though, love languages might not be obvious or openly shared.

Initiating open communication in romantic love

If that's the case, the next step may be to start a discussion about it. Talk about what sorts of things you can do to make your partner happy and show your love. Perhaps it’s spending quality time together, sharing words of affection, or making an effort to be physically close each day.

Small tokens of romantic love and appreciation

You don't have to write a message across the sky to send a message that you're thinking of your partner. Some small tokens of love and appreciation may be all you need. 

Exploring different forms of expression

Love messages and letters

There are all different types of messages out there, just as there are various ways of writing love letters that you and your partner can use to express the way that you feel towards one another. 

You can share messages through letters, notes, texts, and any other form of written or spoken communication. It might help to take some time to think about how you’d prefer to check in. For instance, some couples find that keeping a journal together can give them a chance to regularly write to each other without making it a formal occasion. 

Your messages can be as long or short and complex or simple as you’d like. Things like “I love the way you take care of me when I’m sick” or “When we spend time together, I feel on top of the world” can suffice, as can lengthier and more personalized messages. 

There's no pressure to do things the "right" way: Love quotes, poems, and songs 

Whatever you choose to do, it can help to remember that there’s no pressure to do things the “right” way. Finding a method of communication and expression that works consistently for you and your partner can help you keep your love strong for years to come.

Love quotes

One of the simplest ways that you can show your partner what you're thinking about them may be by using a quote, especially if you plan to write specific messages to share. There are many famous quotes out there about love, and you can likely find one that's even said by someone important to them or the two of you. 

Searching for the right quote might take a little bit of time, but you'll likely find something that exemplifies what you feel for them or what your relationship means. You can even just write up your quotes or use something that one of you has said before that means something to you.

Poems

There are professional love poems out there about love and relationships, but you can also feel free to write up your own that's personal to the two of you. Think about your partner’s favorite poems or poets, if they have any, and about the things that are important to both of you and create or find something that fits. 

Songs

Many people have some type of song (or several songs) that mean something to them. They may feel like that song exemplifies the relationship that they're in, or it tells how they feel about their partner in a way that they wouldn't know how to express for themselves. 

You can share a song by sending it, or you can choose to listen to it with your partner. Making a point to note that the song means something to you or reminds you of it can help you express how you feel without needing to say a word yourself.

Keeping it simple with a romantic message

It can help to keep in mind that your love message doesn't need to be anything big and elaborate. Short messages can work just as well in many instances, and your partner may be plenty happy to find out more about how you feel throughout your relationship rather than all at once. Maybe you want to send them a little card with a few words or lines on it every month, or maybe you just tell them how you're feeling at the moment. There are plenty of different things that you can do to let them know what you feel, so feel free to opt for whatever works for you.

Expressing daily gratitude

It can also help to point things out to your partner when you notice them – maybe you’re grateful that they always take out the trash, pick the kids up from school, or cook a delicious dinner. Likewise, don’t be afraid to express yourself continuously. Even a little comment about how you're feeling can mean the world to someone.

Seeking professional help

If you and your partner seem to be struggling in your relationship or have a hard time expressing how you feel, it doesn't have to mean the end of things. You can reach out to a mental health professional who can help you and your partner understand what's happening in your relationship and even what needs to be done to get you back on the right path. The key may be making sure you find someone that you feel comfortable with and that you open up completely with the person that you choose. 

Benefits of professional support through online therapy

Options like online therapy may make it easier to do just that. Because everything takes place online, there's no need to ever worry about costly commutes to and from an in-person office. You can easily log online from anywhere without having to worry about proximity. This can make it a lot more possible to feel comfortable when starting out.

You can choose to pursue therapy by yourself or with your partner (or even both) based on your needs. Regardless, it’s likely that you’ll be able to find some benefit from speaking to a professional for advice. In fact, one study revealed that 95% of couples who engage in online couples counseling consider it “helpful,” which means that you and your partner might, too.

Takeaway

Love messages and acts of affection can be a great way to show your partner that you care, especially if you typically have a hard time doing so as much as you’d like. There’s no shortage of ways to write, say, and share your feelings with the person you love. It may take some trial and error to find what works for you, but it’s likely an effort that’s well worth your while.
