My husband's way of expressing his affection is text book, with a twist. He is all about the instrumental and activity as Wood puts it. But while he's fixing, doing and going he tends to express his thoughts and feelings along the way. For example, last week he was painting one of our bathrooms. It's a small bathroom, therefore it's a one person job. So I decided that I would go to the mall. He says no I want you to stay home so we can "talk". I was thinking- hon we can talk tonight, but knowing his MO I decided to stay. To make a long story short (and to not get too personal)-as he was painting he brought up the fact that we haven't had our date night in a few months and he wanted me to know that it was bothering him. So we talked...
Even though my husband doesn't sit and express his feelings the way I would like him to, I've learned in the 20 yrs. to accept it when and how I get it. Just because I don't get it my way doesn't mean he does not love me. At the end of the day we all express our love in our own unique and different ways. Whether it's by doing or being verbal.
How do you express your love?

I show love in so many different ways. Not only by expressing, communicating and touch but also doing simple things in a general basis. Expressing love means being they’re, offering a hand, praying for the well being, showing kindness, compassion, care, and joy. Communicating it is a little more difficult because the power of the word is sometimes misinterpreted by many but when is done with the purpose of love is always magical. Besides the spirit, Love can also be express physically; sharing your body consciously with someone can create more love.
Love is such a broaden word, the meaning and purpose of the word has an infinite context. It is the reason why we thrive as human beings and why we exist. If we learn how to incorporate love in to body, mind and soul we could all be bless by the power that contains!
Looking at the dicctionary for the word LOVE. I realized that from all the fifteen meanings described, the best that fits my believes about this subject is:
“Unselfish loyal and benevolent concern for the good of another”
(Webster’s Dictionary)
Love everyday!!!!
It is so hard sometimes to express love especially when you have had bad experiences with love. You begin to wonder does love even exist. Everyone wants to be love and loved a certain way but maybe that is our problem. Sure we all deserve to be treated well and taken care of but who is to say there is a right or wrong way to love some one or show it. I remember my last relationship and how I was told I needed to love this way and do this and do that. I never was allowed to love the way i knew how. Sure it wasnt perfect and then again none of us our. What makes us all unique and special is how we express that love whether its spiritual, physicaly, emotional, or whatever. Love is such a general term and it can be interept in some many ways. In the end love for me is communicating, respecting, just meeting in the middle. Like you said Charlene you know your husband and you knew his MO. That right there is love. Just knowing what your husband is thinking and wanting to communicate with you to me is a part of love. Just knowing what the other person is thinking as if your brains are on the same page. Also seeing that you guys have been together for 20 years still gives me hope in a society that sees people get divorced more than they go to the movies.
Charlene,
Men tend to show their actions by doing things and by fixing your problems. It was refreshing to hear that your husband brought up the conversation. Talking is usually a woman's MO, not a man's. Thanks for sharing.
