My husband and I are a little mismatched on this issue... I say it a lot more than he does... I say it when I'm feeling it, and I feel it rather often. *smiles* He doesn't say it as much as I do, but he does tell me regularly that he loves me, usually after a phone conversation, or when he's leaving. I know he loves me, though, so its not really a problem. And I know he knows I love him... he may not say it as often as I do, but I really think he likes hearing it as often as I like saying it. His folks are less vocal about the words than my parents are... Oddly enough, though, I know how his parents feel about us, and I'm not always so sure about mine.... Don't ask... Sometimes hearing the words really isn't enough to balance out what you see and experience every day... Which is why I like to make sure he knows I love him even if I don't say it. (Like when we're fighting... the fact that we love each other is never an issue, and we're able to deal with whatever the problem is and move on).
