Love languages first made their way onto the public's radar back in 1992, after Gary Chapman, PhD coined the term in his self-help handbook, The Five Love Languages: How to Express Heartfelt Commitment to Your Mate. There, Chapman makes his case for words of affirmation—verbal expressions of love, respect, and gratitude for that special someone in our lives. If this is how your partner receives validation in your relationship, you'll find that just a few words can make a considerable difference in how they feel. Of course, that can sometimes be easier said than done. While many people crave to hear their partner's feelings voiced, few of us have the skills necessary to articulate them as eloquently as we'd like. If you find yourself struggling to find the right words to reassure your special someone, be sure to keep reading. We've put together an extensive list of "I love you" quotes so that you never run out of material again.
