If your partner uses these 8 phrases regularly, they love and value you deeply

As the founder of the Love Connection blog and a devoted relationship expert, I’ve come to understand that love isn’t just about three magic words. It’s about the everyday phrases your partner uses that show they cherish and respect you deeply.

And today, I’m going to share with you eight such phrases. If your partner uses these regularly, you can be pretty sure they love and value you profoundly.

Ready for some real insights into your relationship? This one’s for you!

1) “I appreciate you”

In the journey of love, expressing gratitude plays a significant role.

When your partner regularly tells you, ‘I appreciate you’, it’s not just a casual comment. It’s a heartfelt acknowledgment of your value in their life.

This phrase, simple yet powerful, shows that they see and value your efforts, whether big or small. It’s a way of saying that they don’t take you for granted.

Next time your partner says ‘I appreciate you’, remember, it’s a big deal. It’s their way of expressing that they truly love and cherish you.

2) “You’re my priority”

One of the most heartwarming phrases you can hear from your partner is ‘You’re my priority’.

When they say this, it means they value your happiness and well-being above everything else. It’s a clear indication that they are committed to making the relationship work and are willing to make sacrifices for you.

In my own relationship, hearing my partner say this phrase regularly reinforces the bond we share. It’s a reassurance that we are in this together, no matter what life throws at us.

3) “I’m here for you”

In the ups and downs of life, having a partner who consistently says ‘I’m here for you’ is like finding a safe haven.

This phrase is more than just a string of words. It’s a promise of support, loyalty, and unconditional love. It’s about being present—physically, emotionally, and mentally—for your partner.

In my book, Breaking The Attachment: How To Overcome Codependency in Your Relationship, I delve into the importance of setting boundaries while also maintaining emotional availability in a relationship. When your partner tells you ‘I’m here for you’, it’s often a sign that they’ve managed to strike that delicate balance.

From my personal experience, this phrase has also been a rock in stormy times, providing comfort and encouragement when I needed it the most.

So if your partner regularly says ‘I’m here for you’, value it. It’s their way of showing that their love for you is accompanied by their unwavering support.

4) “No”

Now, this may sound counterintuitive, but hear me out.

When your partner feels comfortable saying ‘No’ to you, it’s not a sign of disrespect or indifference. Quite the opposite, in fact. It means they feel secure and valued in the relationship.

Being able to say ‘No’ shows that your partner trusts you enough to be honest about their feelings and boundaries. It’s a sign that they see the relationship as a place of mutual respect and understanding.

While it may be difficult to hear at times, this phrase is crucial for maintaining a healthy and balanced relationship

5) “I trust you”

Trust is the bedrock of any relationship and this phrase is a powerful affirmation of their belief in you. It represents a bond that goes beyond the surface, reaching into the very heart of your connection.

In my own relationship, hearing my partner say ‘I trust you’ has always felt like a warm embrace. It’s a reassurance that they have faith in our shared journey, in the decisions we make together, and in the love we share.

When you hear, ‘I trust you,’ cherish it. It’s their way of expressing their deep love and unwavering confidence in you.

6) “I’m sorry”

This one is raw and honest, but most importantly, it takes courage to say.

If your partner is quick to apologize and take responsibility for their mistakes, it shows their commitment to the relationship. It’s a sign that they’d rather swallow their pride than let an issue fester and damage the bond you share.

‘I’m sorry’ is not just about admitting a mistake. It’s about willingness to change, to grow, and to work on becoming a better person and a better partner.

7) “I understand”

Two words, yet so profound – ‘I understand’. When your partner frequently says this, it reveals their ability to empathize with your feelings and experiences.

This phrase shows that your partner doesn’t just hear you; they truly listen. They take the time to step into your shoes and see the world from your perspective.

8) “I was wrong”

In any relationship, admitting when you’re wrong can be tough. But when your partner frequently says ‘I was wrong’, it shows they’re not afraid to own up to their mistakes.

This phrase is another one that’s raw and honest. It shows a level of humility and self-awareness that’s crucial in maintaining a healthy relationship. It’s a sign that they value your feelings more than their ego.

‘I was wrong’ is not about self-deprecation; it’s about recognizing that they are fallible and making amends when necessary.

So if your partner often says ‘I was wrong’, it’s a testament to their deep love for you and their commitment to keeping the relationship healthy and balanced.

Final thoughts 

In the end, love is not just about grand gestures and passionate declarations. It’s often in these everyday phrases that you find the most profound expressions of love and respect.

If your special someone frequently uses these eight phrases, cherish each word. They are signs of a deep bond built on mutual respect, understanding, and love.

To delve deeper into the dynamics of a healthy relationship, I invite you to check out my book, Breaking The Attachment: How To Overcome Codependency in Your Relationship. It’s a guide to recognizing unhealthy patterns and building stronger emotional connections with your loved ones.

Remember, the language of love is more than ‘I love you’. It’s ‘I appreciate you’, ‘I’m here for you’, and ‘I trust you’. It’s ‘I’m sorry’, ‘I understand’, and yes, even ‘No’ and ‘I was wrong’. Listen for these phrases in your relationship, and you’re sure to find the love that’s woven into every word.
