Reasons I Love You – Let Me Count the 100 Ways

As I’m feeling isolated and disconnected from the world at large (largely due to the Coronavirus), I thought it would be beneficial to remember I’m not alone — to think about the people I love, and the reasons I love them.

There are countless reasons for my devotion. But for purposes of valuing your time, I’m only going to enumerate 100.

When I’m under stress, I fall back on gratitude. And there’s no bigger blessing than to have loved ones in your life — those who are here now, and those dearly departed.

I’m dedicating this particular “I love you” list to my wife — my partner for the last 3 decades. We met in high school, married, and are raising two beautiful kids together.

I fall back on this list during moments of fear and depression, and even when we get into an argument. My anger and disillusionment soon fade when I reread this 100 reasons why I love you list.

I hope this love list helps you to observe the wonderful qualities in your loved ones, and reminds you to take notice of their specialness.

What Happens if Your Relationship is on the Rocks and Your Reasons to Love You List is not a Long One?

Having a long-term relationship should be an exciting adventure, not just an obligation to fulfill.

Sometimes your love life needs help to stop it from fading away. Here are five ideas to help you rekindle the fire of passion in your relationship:

a) Any intense interaction with another person is a dance of polarities, and at some level, you’re on opposite sides of a magnetic field. In a positive relationship, this means attracting the best aspects of the other person’s personality.

Take advantage of this fact by making sure to interact with your partner in ways that do not reinforce each other’s weaknesses. This will help you build up your complementary strengths, rather than getting caught up in your partner’s weaknesses and imperfections.

b) If you’ve fallen into a rut, take a step back and think about what your partner needs from you. Put yourself in your partner’s shoes and think about how they wish to be treated.

Don’t forget to show effort.

c) A healthy relationship requires communication and compromise, not to mention a mutual respect for each other. When you start to feel as if your relationship has become stagnant, take the time to talk with your partner about your feelings.

If they are willing, try scheduling regular date nights or communicating by phone or text more often. 

Remember the little things that used to make you smile? Well, now is the time to continue doing them because relationships require work and effort on both parts in order for them to succeed.

d) The key to maintaining a healthy relationship is to keep an open mind and heart. This means being willing to compromise on certain issues, while definitely standing up for what you believe in, but in a calm, respectful way.

It also means being forgiving.

e) When you’re in a relationship, words are important, but it’s also important to remember that actions speak just as loud. The way you treat your partner both verbally and nonverbally will affect your relationship.

Nonverbal communication can be just as important as verbal communication when it comes to relationships. Nonverbal language includes body language, facial expressions, touch, eye contact and anything else you communicate without using words.

When you pay attention to how your partner is communicating with you nonverbally, you’ll be able to know how he or she feels about what’s going on in the relationship without having to ask questions.

This is just a sampling of ideas on how to expand your “reasons to love” list.

Remember, relationships are a lot like plants. They both need maintenance and work to grow and flourish. When they aren’t cared for, they can wither and die.

Even with the most committed partners, relationships can become strained and grow cold over time, if you don’t keep up with efforts to nurture them.

Here’s hoping that your relationship evolves, grows, and prospers over time.

May your I love you list expand exponentially!
