20 “Real Life” ways to say I Love You
[article]
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.
[piclist]
1. Pretend her cooking isn’t burnt
2. Forget that you could completely wrap your arms around him
3. Give him a pedicure
4. Congratulate her for yelling ‘home run!’ at the football game
5. Get along with the in-laws no matter how much it kills you
6. Shave your pits daily instead of once a week
7. Don’t let them dress themselves
8. Get used to her new hairstyles
9. Use air freshener after bathroom use, you don’t want to be charged for murder
10. Trim his long toe hairs
11. Don’t get irritated when he puts the dishes away in the wrong place
12. Drink the junk beer that she bought because it was on sale
13. Embrace the power of his farts
14. Give them hugs despite the nose hair curling experience
15. Don’t let them drive because you value their life
16. Buy stain hiding dark underwear
17. Watch sappy romantic movies with her
18. Put up with his friends
19. Help them get through a midlife crisis
20. Look forward to 20+ years of this!
*Let us know if we missed your favorite! We’d love to hear your comments!

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.

I had fun reading it. Well it is funny but that what’s the fact is about love. For short, accept all the things what your lovers did either you like it or not. If you loved be sure to shave your pits daily instead of once a week. Ha-ha! That was hilarious. Well, whatever it is, the most important thing is to look forward to 20+ years of this! Thanks for giving us the super hilarious but a very helpful and inspiring tips.
