Love is a feeling that happens inside your body. So if you want to communicate it to somebody else, you have to show them. But how?
Well, it turns out that there are lots of ways of doing it: some direct, others not.
Make Them Feel Important
If you love somebody, then they are the most important person in the world to you. However, you need to show it.
For example, if they do something for you, acknowledge it. Don’t pretend it didn’t happen.
You can also try to change the way you speak to them. Make them feel as though they are at the center of your world because, chances are, they probably are!
Allow Them To Make Mistakes
Making mistakes is a part of life. But when you truly love someone, you allow it to happen. They don’t have to be perfect for you. You appreciate them for who they are.
Perform A Gesture That Shows Your Love
Sometimes performing a gesture or “act of service” is one of the best ways to show your partner that you truly love them. The great thing about this way of showing your love is that you have so many options.
For instance, you could make your own book with photos and messages celebrating your life together. You could also bake them a cake, take them somewhere they will enjoy or generally pamper them with your massage skills.
Be Assertive But Not Argumentative
Being assertive is great. You need to make yourself heard in relationships. Being argumentative, on the other hand, is not so great. It tends to undermine the bond that you have.
Fights, conflicts and disputes all lead to worsening relationship satisfaction. If it dips too low, you stand a good chance of breaking up entirely.
To avoid fights, allow each person to discuss their needs freely. Avoid condemning them.
Keep Promises
If you love somebody, you should always try to keep your promises – or not make them at all. Promises are things that you commit to do for the other person, usually because it is something important to them or you’re paying them back. For example, you might promise your partner that you will spend a day doing something with them that they want to do, even if you’re not particularly keen on it.
Touch Them More
Some people experience love in the form of physical contact. So if that sounds like your partner, be sure to touch them as often as you can. Any form of touch will do it: kissing, hugging – something a little more adventurous in the bedroom.
Don’t Expect Anything From Them
Love is mainly about who you are, not who the other person is. If you can make yourself beautiful, usually the relationship will follow suit. Bring your A-game to the table and see what happens. If it really doesn’t work, you can always back out.
In summary, there is no “best” way to love somebody – there are just lots of different ways. Knowing which to use can help improve your relationships tremendously.
I live in a small Georgia town that you most likely have never heard of and I LOVE it! My house is more than full as I am a single mother of four & caregiver to my aging mother and uncle. Lover of all things Outlander. Goes to the beat of her own drum woman.

I think a lot of it depends on tailoring it to the other person as an individual, so they feel seen!
