We say it to each other just about every time we see each other. Our lives are so hectic being in grad school right now that when we get to go home together and relax, we are so happy to be with each other that we tend to say it a lot.

We started dating when I was 19 and I am about to turn 23. We waited about six months before saying it and since then, we've said it constantly. In the morning, right before bed, just randomly when I look at him and feel it, when we're riding in the car, whenever. Best feeling in the world

Several times a day. It melts my heart to hear him say he loves me. We have been together almost 3 years now and will be celebrating our one year marriage anniversary on the 14th of April.

We have been together on and off for 20 years. We tell each many times a day. You never when it could be the last time. I always tell him right before we go to bed. I feel if you really love them it never gets old. I do little things to show it also. Like buying him his favorite candy bar. Some times it is the little things that matter the most. You have to keep the flame burning.

I try to tell him at least once or twice every day. Usually I say it much more.

Kind of depends on the day and if I get to see him or not. Maybe we're just not the very vocal type about this kind of thing.

I intentionally limit how often I say it. It may sound stupid to some, I know, but I'm an emotional guy, and in my experience (having been dumped on by women of every variety), if you really love a woman and want to be with her forever then you should let her love you and want you forever. Don't suffocate her in "I Love You" until you (and they) are blue (or yellow) in the face.

we try to keep it meaningful.

We'll have been together for..19 months I believe. Tomorrow actually. We say it all the time, but I don't feel like it's lost any meaning. We're both full time students and work part time so even though we live together, we don't spend that much time home together.

Several times a day when we can see each other in person, once a day otherwise.

I'm extremely affectionate, and I grew up in a house where we didn't go a day without saying it, so I say it multiple times a day. I think you really can't tell someone how you feel too much (though my girlfriend probably disagrees).

Every day at LEAST once. I am just the type of person that I need to be told AND shown how much someone loves me. I am insecure due to past issues and while I am working on them, sometimes you just can't help how ya feel!

We use "I Love you" a lot in our relationships but we always feel like it's so overused. We kind of wish that there was another, more intimate way to say it. I know in some Asian cultures there are varying ways to say "I love you" depending on the situation or type of love. I wish English was like this sometimes!

About once a day, she always complains that I don't say it often.

We've been together 5 years and telling each other "I love you" has not waned. We say it when we feel it. This can range from a few times a day or every other day. It's not something we make a point to say but rather to remind the other of how we really feel.
