How to Use Body Language to Express Love

You still have choices if you genuinely lack the courage to tell your loved one any of these things in a text or verbally, since employing actions to show your affection has always been successful. If you prefer to physically communicate your feelings rather than verbally, try pulling your spouse closer, making a complex gesture, or simply grinning that smile that you save especially for them.

How to Say “I Love You” Without Saying a Thing

Look your loved one in the eyes for at least 10 seconds if you want to convey your sincerity. If you can, try to gaze into their eyes for a little longer, because research has shown that when you do, your body releases a substance called phenylethylamine, which triggers strong sentiments of love. According to studies, two minutes of focused gaze can sometimes spark sentiments of love. Additionally, studies have shown that couples who are passionately in love tend to maintain eye contact for longer periods of time.
