Why is it important to tell your significant other "I love you"? This morning one of my students was curious as to why his dad had told him "I love you". He informed me about the situation and the student was in great astonishment. His dad hardly brings him to school and is never involved in his school activities. For some reason today the student's father felt like telling his son those three powerful words "I love you". My student was very energetic the whole class period and couldn't stop talking about his dad. I felt so good and happy for him.
Why is it that those three words makes us feel so good and gives us a reason to go on with our day? It makes our day go by so wonderfully good and just by knowing that there is someone out there that actually loves us for who we are makes us feel even more special. In my opinion I think those three words must be said only if you truly mean those words, if not don't even bother using them. Why? Well, because you might hurt the other people's feelings by making them believe that you really love them. What do you all think?
They are three very powerful words when you really mean them. If you really mean them it points that person is very very important - it means you care more about them than anything.
But like you said - you have to truly mean it and I think most people recognize a sincere "I love you." My 5 year old with say it with so earnestly - she will say, "Mommy I just love you so much." And you can see it in her eyes and in her hug.

It's so nice to wake in the morning and not have to tell someone you love them when you really don't.

Why is it important? Because humans have this little quirk called self consciousness.
It's an affirmation of what we know, what we think we know or what we want to know.
We verbalize our emotions because it's an easy way to make the person we love feel needed; like they have a purpose and that they are worth something.
Regardless of who we are, what we do, how much we make we all have a desire and a need to be needed and wanted.

Love is a condition of the soul, and I agree that "i love you" should only be said if it is the truth. Sadly, many say those words because they think they should love the one they are talking too, they think it is expected of them, or because they want to make someone feel better.

sometimes a sincere I love you will get you a 10 or 20% discount.

The first time I remember my dad saying 'I love you' was when I was in my mid-twenties.
No need to mention that we never had a close relationship...
I just hope your student's father will back up his three words with actions or soon they will be no more than a hollow echo!
