The 3 most powerful words that people have a hard time saying is, “I love you”. They are just words, we know, but for some of us, it’s very powerful because it means so much AND for some people it seems to “change things”.

Once you say, “I love you”, things become different. You now know where things stand, things begin to seem clearer. You now know that the road to engagement and marriage may be ahead for you. Even though your partner might FEEL the words, he/she may therefore be really afraid of SAYING those words, because of the permanent commitment they imply. Some people feel, once the words are spoken, that the relationship is different, and that you both might start acting much differently.

Look at your yourself and your own feelings. How do you feel about the other person? Do you think he/she feels the same? Do you think things will be different if you said those 3 words to your partner? And, does this mean you should start thinking of moving in together, even possibly consider marriage?

Sit down, have a quiet conversation with your partner. Ask them how they feel about the relationship. Once you know where things are headed, things will come much more smoothly.
