    Question How often do you and your spouse tell each other "I love you?"

    My hubby and I tell each other this multiple times a day. We say it when he kisses me in the morning to leave for work, when we speak on the phone to each other, when he arrives home from work and before we go to sleep and multiple times in between. Sometimes I surprise him with "I love you" notes in his lunch bag and he leaves me "I love you" notes on the white board.

    Several times. As we wake up, before he leaves for work, he phones at noon, we tell each other then (and he finds out what's for dinner) and when he gets home, and again as we go to sleep.

    Often - its really important to us to tell each other how much we love them.

    We also tell our kids as often as we can.

    On the phone, at night before going to bed, and when he leaves for work in the morning.

    Anniversary, Valentines day, some other good time or special day, we seldom kiss outside of the bedroom, once in a while I make a point of kissing him in front of the kids so they know we like each other and married people do that.

    Saying it is not important to either of us, we know. If we didn't love each other we would know. Actions speak louder for us.

    This is a souce of amusment for a freind and I cuz they are kissers and I tease them when they do. And she teases us when we don't.

    Jack & I still hug & kiss & the kids still go ewww. Jack & I say "I love you" a couple of times a day and the kids let me say it to them & I get an occasional "me too".

    Also throw in an occasional "Guess what" they say "what?"... "that's what". Bunch of goofballs live and laugh & love here.

    We do everyday and we kiss everyday, before he leaves for work, even if I'm asleep...when he gets home from work, before going to bed and many other times, just like that...We hug alot...and yes, our boys think we overdo it. lol

    To my kids I often ask, too, *Do you know what?* They answer *what?*---I say....*I love you* or I say---*Did you know that I love you? * and they like that....

    Every single chance I get. Even when dh was home, we would tell each other quite often. There are usually lots of kisses too. I also tell my boys that I love them multiple times during the day.

    At least once a day, usually more. Dh says it more often than I. I wasn't brought up in an affectionate home, so I had to learn how to be more demonstrative. Dh grew up in a family that says "I love you" several times a day, so I think it comes more naturally to him.

    Every day now, at least a couple of times.

    We sort of got out of the habit for awhile, but we are back in the groove now.
