Powerful phrases and deep sayings you can share with that special person in your life.

Romantic love can be expressed in so many ways. It can look like letting your partner have the last slice of pizza, throwing in a load of laundry before they get home from work, cooking them a romantic dinner or sitting with them while they binge-watch their favorite show. No matter how you choose to say “I love you” based on your personal love language or theirs, sometimes the best way to get the message across is to simply put it into words.

Now, even the most romantic people can stumble when it comes to expressing their feelings verbally, but that’s where our love quotes come in. Whether you’re hoping to draw inspiration in order to write that special someone a love poem or you want to share some sentimental words with your wife (or girlfriend) we have just the phrases and musings that will make their hearts melt. We also included feel-good expressions for him that will be sure to tug at the heartstrings of the lucky man in your life.

Some of these quotes will even sound great in a Valentine’s Day card or can serve as an inspirational message and spark a reminder to always practice self-love first.

And since true love doesn’t just exist in romantic partnerships, as you read these quotes, if you are reminded of a friend or family member, be sure to share it with them.
