You Know I Love You

You say something like "Don’t you love me?" to your partner because you may feel a little threatened or left-behind or ignored. Your partner doesn’t feel he can adequately answer your simple little question without perjuring himself. He responds this way, with "You know I love you," because he can’t muster the sincerity to really respond with any dedicated emotion, with anything committal like "I love you too honey."

This book, "You Know I Love You," covers those four terms and so much more. However, they are exposed for what they really mean. Far too long we have thought jealousy to be negative; it isn't, it is required if you want a long lasting, committed relationship. The same is true for the others and several other terms. Read to find out how positive they really are. You will learn that you must embrace every one of them if you are to truly protect and nurture your relationship.

“You know I love you?” I’m sure you have heard it said once or twice before. It is a “leave me alone, let me think, not right now” type of phrase. It is a loser’s way of getting out of actually answering the question: “Do you love me?” Hollywood plays with this concept by having certain characters portray themselves as far too macho to say “I love you.” Instead the movies will have him say things like “Back at you kid” or “Ditto” or “Likewise” or something equally as un-flattering and non-committal. Well, this chapter, this phrase, encompasses all of those less than “I love you” phrases. They are all as worthless as the next one. If you love me, you know you love me and I know you love me then just say it, OK? Just say I love you.
