Love is not one size fits all and it's not always spoken in the same language between couples. I'm not talking about saying it in English, Hindi, French or Spanish, but I'm talking about how it's communicated through actions, words and interactions most of all.
Some might express love with flowers, while someone else might convey the same thing with spanking their significant other. Some might be gentle with the one they love while someone else might be harsh and rough with them. Some might want romantic dinners by candle light, some might just want kinky nights. Others might want it all.
Beyond feelings is the ability to express and live out those feelings. There are an infinite number of ways to tell someone you love them. Saying it is only one way and often the cheapest and easiest, but not always the best or most appropriate way to say it.
As the saying goes, actions speak louder than words and love is a verb. Well, those actions joined together are their own language.
You can say I love you in many different ways, it's not just feeling something for someone, but understanding what language they speak and knowing how to speak it. Because each relationship has its own language and when you start speaking a different one, than the one you both created, then you're not going to understand each other and no one enjoys having to overcome a language barrier.
P.S. If you're a book worm or looking for a book to read, I recommend - The 5 Love Languages by Gary Chapman. Go for it.
