How Do You Say I Love You?

I have had this idea running through my head and I have been having trouble figuring out how to express what I want to say.

Recently two seemingly random events have had me wondering if I need to make some changes in my life. Nothing drastic like running away from home or deleting my Facebook account. This is more along the lines of a change in the way I handle my private life.

Let me explain.

First I received a text from a friend saying: "This is going to sound crazy but I don't know how to show someone I love you." This promoted a conversation on the different things you can do and say to express your feelings, at the same time I started a bible study (The Resolution for Women).

How do these two random things connect...they have me pondering how I handle my personal life.

I don't have a good track record when it comes to the dynamics of personal relationships. In fact until The BF the my longest relationship was 6 months. My motto use to be when the going gets tough I get gone. I don't know if its maturity or if I just found the right one (when you find the one that lets you be all nerdy and dorky and thinks its cute...he might be a keeper) but I am not gone even though its been tough.

Okay so tough is an exaggeration but can we say the honeymoon period has finally ended and I am struggling to find out how to move forward and keep my relationship health, fun and moving forward.

I am not sure how to do all these things and I am open to suggestions.

Actually, please tell me your suggestions to having a healthy relationship.
