I have a problem. I love writing. But I’m not very good at writing meaningful words to the ones I love. What do I write besides, “I love you”?
My husband is especially talented at this. I save all the cards that he gives me because even after decades of marriage, he is able to make my heart melt with his words.
Even though I write lots of words every day–in my books, on my blog–I feel like my words in cards fall flat.
But I agree with Victor Hugo,
Life’s greatest happiness is to be convinced that we are loved.
I want to give that happiness to my husband, especially since he always does that for me.
So what helps me is to start with a quote about love as inspiration. I then make it personal to him. For instance, if I chose the Victor Hugo quote, I would tell him that I already possess life’s greatest joy because I know without a doubt that he loves me. I would tell him how much I appreciate his loving words.
In case you need a little inspiration for a card for your husband–whether it is a birthday card, Valentine’s Day card, Father’s Day card, or a just-because card–here are ten more quotes about love:
