You could say that love is implied. But there's a compelling reason to say it. "It's the relationship's oxygen," says the author. Telling someone you love them keeps a relationship alive by feeding it. It helps remind your loved ones – whether your spouse, sweetheart, child, or parent – that you are there for them and that they matter to you by reinforcing your feelings. Because, at the end of the day, what people really want is emotional presence. We can be physically standing next to someone but emotionally be worlds apart. A key question we ask ourselves is, "Are you there for me?" Saying 'I love you' – and other expressions of affection – is an excellent way to foster that positive atmosphere. Some people may feel self-conscious about confessing. It is important that we say I love you and here is 101 different ways to say it.
