You and your partner have a bond that is so much more than words. While saying ‘I love you’ means a lot, the actions behind everything that it consists of mean so much more.
8 Signs Your Partner Is In Love With You That Don’t Involve Words:
1. They make you feel like the most beautiful person in the world.
They don’t make you feel insecure or uncared for. They build you up and leave you feeling great. The more time you spend together the better you feel about yourself and the person that you are growing into.
2. They respect you and your boundaries.
They do not cross your boundaries because they respect you. Respect is a very important thing to have in a relationship and shows how important you are to them. They are not willing to risk you in any possible way.
For those wanting to deepen their understanding of respect and boundaries in relationships, “Boundaries in Dating: How Healthy Choices Grow Healthy Relationships” by Dr. Henry Cloud and Dr. John Townsend is a valuable resource.
3. They love to play with your hair or scratch your back.
They love to make sure you feel content and comfortable. Playing with your hair and doing small things like scratching your back make them feel more needed and useful. While it might not seem like much, it is a very big sign that they care.
4. They are always holding your hand and wanting to physically be near you.
The more time they want to spend with you within reason, the better. They want to be intimate with you in all possible ways, not just the ways that involve the bedroom. You are both able to grow together, and that is something you cannot do with someone who does not love you.
5. They kiss you like they mean it.
When they kiss you, you can feel those sparks flying. You know that this person is putting his or her all into that kiss and making sure you’re understanding their intent. Magical kisses like this are a lot more real than most people tend to think.
6. You tend to catch them smiling at you for ‘no reason.’
Because you make them happy, they tend to smile a lot more when you’re around. You might look back at them and notice they’re grinning from ear to ear. You are the cause of that grin.
7. They make sure you have the things you need.
When someone we are with makes sure we are taken care of properly, it speaks volumes. This is not only a sign that they care, but also that they think about you more than you might realize. They heard you mention that you forgot your lunch, so they go snag you something when they get the chance and bring it right to you. This is love and all it comes with.
8. They make sure to listen when you speak.
Someone who listens to you without letting things go in one ear and out the other is someone who actually holds your best interests at heart. This person wants to know all that he or she can about you and really learn more about the life you want. This person is committed on all levels.
Understanding and nurturing these signs of love can enhance your relationship significantly.
