Have a read through and with each phrase, ask yourself:
- When was the last time I heard this?
- And how did it make me feel?
From this, you may be able to identify your own phrases that you want to express more. But it’s a great starting point. So let’s get the ideas flowing…
Phrases That Make Your Partner Feel Loved
See when it comes to phrases that make your partner feel loved, you can’t go wrong with…
1) I love you.
Let’s start simple, because those 3 little words are certainly one of the powerful phrases that make your partner feel loved.
Saying “I love you” multiple times a day is actually one of the healthy relationship habits the two of you really need.
After all, it doesn’t matter if they “already know” that you do love them. Say it. Express it. Tell them again and again.
- “I love you so much, you know?”
- “I’m so proud of you. I love you.”
- “I’m so grateful for you. I LOVE YOU!”
When it’s said from the heart, it’s one of the fastest ways to feel closer to your partner and enable them to feel closer to you, too.

2) I completely adore you.
Going one step further, expressing that you adore your partner is another one of the most powerful phrases that make your partner feel loved.
It’s even more expressive. After all, “adore” carries a sense of idolisation and admiration.
It’s a strong word showing deep affection, with no question of how intense and passionate your feelings are. Talking of admiration…
3) I value you so highly, babe.
Showing and telling your partner that you respect and value them is one of the fundamental things couples don’t say enough. Yet it’s important…
It shows appreciation, a recognition of their worth. It makes them feel good enough, which in turn helps them to feel more secure in the relationship.
(Which of course, is such a precious thing.)

4) I love that you…
Picking out a specific thing that you love, appreciate or value about your partner can become one of the most powerful phrases that makes your partner feel loved.
It’s clear, it’s specific and it actually backs up what you say and how you feel.
It also shows you notice the big things and the little things, and you’ll never run out of different things to say, so this is quite a special one.
5) I’m thinking of you.
If you want to make your partner feel loved, you should tell them that you’re thinking of them – not just through the bad days, but also the good.
When they leave for work, try getting into the habit of saying something like:
“I love you. Have a good day! I’m thinking of you.”
This should flow pretty naturally and easily, but adding the fact that you’ll be thinking of them, they’ll be on your mind throughout the day and you always wish the best for them, actually means a lot. On a similar note…

6) I care about you.
If you have a happy, healthy relationship (and your relationship isn’t broken beyond repair!), the chances are – you know your partner cares.
But saying it, is one of the powerful phrases that make your partner feel loved, because most people don’t say it enough. They just presume they don’t need to…
Just like telling your partner that you’re thinking of them, it feels good to hear just how much they also care.
So why not try expressing your care a little more clearly. Find small ways and big ways to drop this phrase in, and it really will go a long way.
7) I’m here for you.
In sickness and in health, right? We know the wedding spiel, but how often do you tell your partner that you’re there for them, in everyday life?
It’s one thing thinking of your partner, it’s another thing caring about your partner, and it’s yet another thing that you’re there for them too – no matter what.
So if you want to use the phrases that make your partner feel loved – don’t forget about this one!
Tell your partner that you’re there for them when they’re finding things tough at work, when they’re having to deal with fake friends, when they’re tired and bogged down – the lot!
It will really touch their heart and soul… TRUST ME!

Phrases That Make Your Partner Feel Loved
We’ve reached the half-way point now, so what else have we got? Well, when it comes to phrases that make your partner feel loved it pays off to say things like…
8) I understand how you feel.
This is one of the most under-rated phrases – both in relationships, and life!
When someone tells you that they get it – they understand how you feel – it means more than they’d ever believe.
It shows compassion, it shows care, it shows you’re on the same page and are a team, even if they themselves wouldn’t naturally feel the same way. They still get you and understand your feelings.
It’s such a powerful thing.
Validating your partners feelings are undoubtably therefore one of the greatest way to make them feel loved. And so this is certainly one of the phrases you should try to share more with them.

9) You’re everything to me.
“You’re everything to me.” “You mean so much to me.” “You’re my world.” “I’d be lost without you.” – These are all phrases that make your partner feel loved and treasured.
They’re strong, emotive and so perfectly clear – leaving no room to question how you feel.
You don’t need to necessarily say these things every single day. In fact, it can be more powerful if said less often. But when they are then said – it’s incredibly impactful.
10) You’re my soul mate.
Whether you believe in soulmates or not, telling your partner that they’re your soulmate and you love them is a beautiful way to express your love.
It’s basically saying that they’re the only person for you, there’s no question in your mind over whether they are “the one”.
If this statement is a little too direct, you can actually do what my partner and I do, which is to use the cute couples nickname of “Souley.”
We say “Souley” is short for soulmate and it offers a beautiful daily reminder of how we feel!

11) You’re so beautiful / so handsome.
(Or whatever compliment you know will mean the most to your partner.)
Uh huh, this is undoubtably one of the simplest phrases that makes your partner feel loved, but it’s important to point out because both men and women really do appreciate complements!
I always call my partner, “my handsome man”, which is again, another cute nickname that acts as a compliment and expression of love every time I say it.
12) What can I do to help?
Back to the more practical phrases that make your partner feel loved now then…
But “What can I do to help?” is another powerful yet under-rated question that acts to not only show love and care, but make your partner feel protected, taken care of and looked after too.
Again, it goes back to showing your partner that you are a team. You’ve got their back, just like they have yours. It’s not a one sided relationship.

13) I…
Last but not least, I want to leave our final phrase fairly open, and instead, encourage you to share with your partner exactly how you feel.
See, telling your partner how you feel (whatever that may be!) can become an incredibly powerful phrase that makes them feel loved.
It shows you trust them, you’re able to confide in them.
Men are also problem solvers so it makes them feel loved when you turn to them, and women have a caring nature that too, makes them naturally want to help.
So you don’t always have to say set things or phrases to make your partner feel loved – what you say in itself can actually speak volumes. Don’t you agree?
