@Laura-while youe point is valid, that men should help around the house as much as possible, i do believe that if a man works all day and is exhausted when he gets home, a gentle and meaningful “I love you”, or “thank you, dear” is probably nice to hear on the wife’s end if nothing else. However, when i wake up one day and find that i am suddenly married, i will do my very best to show love and appreciation to my wife by not only thanking her verbally, but also by making her job infinitely easier.

I’d exchange most “I love you’s” and “thank you’s” for “hey, you had to pay the bills/clean up the mess in the kitchen/wash the clothes today, right? I already did that for you, no worries, honey” once in a while.

What you do is way more important than what you say.

I dated a girl that was upset too often about little things, and I would always respond with an “I’m sorry.” After a while, it was worn out. All of these phrases need moderation, but remember that it’s all in delivery. A “thank you” for handing you a dish is far different from looking her in the eyes and telling her how grateful you are for dinner.

Three things every man should learn to say when getting married:

Yes, dear.
I’m sorry, dear.
Of course I was listening.

In my family “I love you” was something rarely said, only in the most desperate times, and it seems that men who come from such families often have trouble saying it to their wives or girlfriends later in life. I’ve never had any problems like that, and really enjoy telling my girlfriend that I love her. Maybe that’s because I never felt comfortable saying it growing up, and I finally have an outlet. But I still have to screw up all my courage to say it to my parents once in awhile.
