“I LOVE YOU”

These three simple words are among the most powerful in the world.

Yet we don't say them often enough to our spouse, partner, lover, family or friends. Here is a collection of over 350 phrases and words to give life to your feelings of love and passion.

Your booklet will help me to explicitly declare my true inner feelings within my mind, my heart, my soul and my spirit."—J.S., Santa Clara, CA.
