And now I realise how important it is to say these words, for many couples fall apart without them. It's hard to describe why, but when you've overcome the silent trauma of saying "I love you" out loud, you'll realise how meaningful they are. It brings you closer, deepens your connection and saying and hearing the words gives you that warm, fuzzy feeling. Eventually, you might even have the a habit of saying them every time you meet.
