"Action speak louder than words". But action without words is empty and words without action is confusing.
Love is a beautiful emotion that makes one laugh and cry. Enjoy this emotion by expressing it to your loved ones. You're happy when he is and sad when he is hurting. He shares the same feelings as you do. Yet, in this fast paced age, we forget to express our love.Emotional safety and security plays major role in any relationship.
We don’t always express our love. Love is a feeling and the expression of that feeling is separate. It’s an action. There’s a practical reason we don’t always express our love for another. It’s an issue of TIME. We only have 24 hours in a day (if you make it up that way). If the expression of love was a core ingredient to love, we would have to be stingy with who we loved, because there simply wouldn’t be enough time to demonstrate our love for everyone! If you see the distinction between the feeling and the expression, you can then love endless numbers of people.
Love expressed is when you give your attention, your time, your focus to someone. Webster defines attention as “the giving of one’s mind to something." There are many ways in which we give our attention to another:
* We use our five senses. Our ears to listen. Being completely present with the one who is
speaking. The best way to express love is listen to your spouse carefully. Don't interrupt
while he/she is saying something.
* Our eyes, watching another, undivided attention.
* Tasting/smelling? (I’ll let you figure that one out).
* Touching, giving a hug, holding a hand, a caress, or sexual expression.
* Saying nice words to each other is a great way of expressing your love. Frequent
compliments or reading nice things to each other is a great way to strengthen your bond.
