Psychologists believe that spouses should say at least three sentimental words to each other every day, such as "I love you" and "I like your so-and-so merits". However, many Chinese people are too careful to be subtle, and if someone puts "love" on their lips, they are said to be shallow and carnal. Many Chinese couples prefer their spouses to show their love in a careful, thoughtful concern. This is certainly true, but if there are only actions, no words, will not give people a sense of defective "only the main dish, no ingredients"?
I cannot speak on behalf of Chinese couples, but I use "love" words with my fiancé all the time. He does too. I don't know that we need more of them to be honest. We express our love using words all the time. Practically every day.
We also express that love and care for each other without words, which is sometimes more powerful than spoken language. He treats me like I am the only thing that matters in his life.
He does all sorts of little things that show just how much he loves and cares for me. They make me feel special. Sure, saying "I love you" or anything like that is always nice to hear.
When he goes the extra mile and SHOWS it to me without just saying it, that is more meaningful in my opinion. Because he does that everyday, I reciprocate to show him what he means to me.
They don't have to be grand gestures to get the point across that we love each other.
