20 “Real Life” ways to say I Love You

{ by Justin Hernandez in articles on june 6, 2008 }

In our first article “20 ways to say I Love You,” we were surprised by the feedback. Some loved it, some hated it, some were like meh. Out of touch maybe? Too idealistic? Movieish?

Well, we conked our coconuts together and quizzed couples young and old on some of the nuances of what love is. Here is are some “real life” ways that we discovered.

1. Pretend her cooking isn’t burnt

4. Congratulate her for yelling ‘home run!’ at the football game

6. Shave your pits daily instead of once a week

    It’s a small world! I stumbled upon your post this evening and just had to tell you that I took the photograph you used for #7, “Don’t let them dress themselves” at a place I used to work at a few years ago. It was “goofy dress up day” or something like that in our office, I don’t remember exactly. Just had to say it because it certainly is weird to see something familiar like that.

    My mind is boggled.
