Love is not just an emotion, or a state of mind. Love is also an emotional necessity for human beings; we fail to thrive when there is too little love in our lives. And since we can only assimilate our minimum daily requirement of love when it is given in tangible, recognizable forms, our loved ones need to SEE that we love them -- not just assume it, or hear about it once in a while.

Unfortunately, many people take this important requirement for granted, and invest too little time and effort into demonstrating their love to the people they care for. We may not even realize that our relationships and our loved ones suffer as a result. But if we love somebody, they need us to show them. And moreover, if we really love somebody, we WANT to show them. see article
