Give Romance A Spark With 35 Profound Love Quotes For Her

You want to tell the woman you love, possibly a soul mate, how you feel, but you can’t seem to capture your emotions in words. Fortunately, you may be able to borrow a phrase or two from someone else. People have been finding creative ways to express longing, affection, and desire as long as they’ve had language, and romantic love has long inspired writers and thinkers to create. Finding the perfect love quotes for her can be a touching, romantic gift to create a memory you can cherish forever.

The best love quotes may help when you need the right words to tell her how much she means to you, such as for an anniversary, birthday, or holiday like Mother’s Day. We’ve curated this list of love quotes so you can choose the ones that best convey the true love you feel for your partner. There are sappy quotes to make her laugh, sultry words to make her blush, and poetic profundities to make her heart melt. 

Why romantic love quotes can be so powerful

Tender words can be a vital part of romantic love for many people. “Words of affirmation” are among the five core ways of expressing and receiving affection that Gary Chapman outlines in his popular book The Five Love Languages. 

Research has validated Chapman’s theory, and experiments suggest that women may be particularly sensitive to whether or not their partner uses their preferred love language. If your partner responds strongly to words of affirmation, finding ways to tell her how special she is could be crucial for keeping your relationship strong.

You may not always have to use your own words. Taking the time to find love quotes for her that resonate deeply with you can show her that you care about making her feel adored. And it can let her know that she’s on your mind even when you’re apart.

Learn better relationship skills with online counseling

While choosing meaningful quotations can be a beautiful way to express your love, it may not be enough to sustain a healthy partnership. Many people find that their bonds with loved ones improve most when they work on themselves through therapy. A professional counselor may be able to help you spot and unlearn patterns that are sabotaging your connection or help you develop better ways of communicating love to your partner.

If you’re feeling hesitant about diving into therapy, online counseling can be a great way to explore and see if it’s right for you. Online platforms like BetterHelp can let you specify the expertise and therapeutic approach you’re looking for in a licensed counselor or therapist. There’s no need to see your doctor for a referral or spend weeks on a waiting list until someone is available. And you can attend sessions from the comfort of your home.

Research suggests that Internet-based counseling can be every bit as effective as face-to-face programs at addressing relationship issues. A 2022 study reported that couples who received therapy through videoconferencing showed similar improvements in relationship satisfaction to those who were counseled in person. Many also demonstrated improvements in mental health and reported finding the online sessions helpful.
