“Anyone can say 'I love you', however so many other sayings carry more weight in a relationship:

“I understand what you went through because I went through it too.”

“I believe you and in you.”

“I see the pain you are going through and we will conquer this together.”

“I don’t want to change you. I just want to help you become the best version of yourself.”

“You matter to me, therefore I will be there for you always.”

"I will never keep things from you because you have my respect and friendship. If I find out someone is putting you down, I will stand up for you. ”

“Your character will always shine when I speak about you because to damage your name is to damage ours.”

“I will go to the ends of the earth to save you from yourself or others.”

“What you have to say is important to me because I see you’re hurting and that hurts me, so I am going to listen. Together we will solve this problem.”

“I don’t care about your past. That was yesterday. Today, we are going to start over because people make mistakes, but they don’t have to pay for them for the rest of their life.”

"How can I help you get through this?"

“In sickness or in health...I meant it and I will search the world to find a way to keep you in it because you mean that much to me.”

“I don’t want to be your parent. I want to be your best friend, lover, cheering section, playmate and fill all the important parts of your soul. Together we will fill the rest as equals.”

“Life is as simple as these three questions: What do I want? Why do I want it? And, how will I achieve it?”
― Shannon L. Alder

“If you have to be told how you should feel then those feelings are not strong enough to make you feel alive; they become rules that don’t fit your life script. Not every person will place the same importance as you do on one of the six human needs: certainty, variety, significance, connection/love, growth or contributions. When you know what is most important for yourself and learn to recognize what need is the most important to others, then you can begin to unlock the real reason behind conflict.”

“Impossible has always been a dare.”
