Sometimes silence is really comfortable - but in relationships, talking is golden. Talk to each other about your wishes and also about what bothers you. This is the only way to stay really close. Day by day, you have it in your own hands to become a little more intimate with each other - and to keep making new efforts for each other. Loving partners support each other. They recognize each other's needs and respond to them. They are caring and attentive, preserving the magic of the beginning even after a long time. They thank each other for their partner's gestures and kindnesses. With a smile. And with sentences that cost nothing - but give a lot.

1 You are and always will be my number 1
Showing your loved one in this way that your relationship is not something that happens on the side, but that they are the most important thing to you and always come first - you can't really get any more true love than that, can you?

2 My definition of happiness is YOU
There is so much more in these six little words. They say: "You make me laugh, you make me feel safe. You give me everything I need to be happy and content. I thank you from the bottom of my heart."

3 Do you feel loved enough by me?
Magical words that are even stronger than a normal "I love you". They convey to your partner: "I want you to be happy. Tell me what I can do to make you happy - and please also tell me if you ever miss something in our relationship."

4 I know why I'm with you
This sentence acts like glue for your relationship, especially when you feel insecure after an argument with your partner. Your loved one hears very clearly that you don't want to miss them by your side, even in difficult times. Because the many reasons why you love him will survive even major turbulence unscathed.

5 Darling, I respect and cherish you
With these wonderful words, you show respect and tolerance. You are encouraging him in his individuality and not putting your wishes and needs above his. You are clearly signaling to him: "Your hopes and ideas are as important to me as my own."

6 I would fall in love with you again
Have you been with your partner for a long time? Then these are powerful words to show him that even after a few years of ups and downs, he is still just the right person for you - and that you would give him your heart again and again.

7 He who loves, lives: You keep me alive
Hand on heart: we need a little more than air and love. But with this sentence, you put the focus on the value of your relationship and make it clear to your loved one what a gift they are to you.

8 I want you - exactly the way you are
Accepting the other person with all their weaknesses and flaws proves that they really care about their partner and not about chasing after some ideal.

9 I don't want to be without you on any day
A real vow of love! Because here you show yourself without a net and double bottom and confess to your partner how much you are attached to him. It makes him realize how much he enriches your life - and that's a real caress for the soul.

10 My darling, I trust you completely
With these words, you show that you are ready to rely completely on your partner, to really open up and talk freely about your feelings. Pure power for your love.

11 You inspire me, make me curious
Boredom? Not an issue in your relationship thanks to your partner. Can he inspire and spur you on, and does he present you with new challenges? Then say thank you to him from the bottom of your heart.

12 I desire you - with all my senses
Do you occasionally wonder whether your partner finds you as attractive as before? Do you enjoy caresses and loving touches? I'm sure your sweetheart feels the same way. He also needs reassurance from you that you find him sexually attractive and want him. This will keep him tingling and boost his self-confidence.

13 You, exactly you, are my future
When you say this sentence, other words resonate: "No matter what happened in the past - when I look ahead, I always see you. That's why I'm one hundred percent sure that everything will be fine with you in the end."

14 You believe in me, that gives me strength
Here you illustrate how much courage and confidence your partner gives you. He makes you adventurous and strong. And even if you fall down, there is someone there to catch you and encourage you to try again. Isn't it wonderful that you have someone by your side who supports you like that?

15 You always get the best out of me
In other words: "Thanks to you, I'm motivated to work on myself and show my best side. You make sure that I am the way I want to be seen by others. I love you for that."
