Love Messages | Tips & Examples
An original love message is one of the most meaningful gestures you can make for a person you love.
Love messages can take many forms, such as hand-written notes, emails, or text messages. Whether you’re expressing love to a friend, family member, or a romantic partner, a love message can brighten someone’s day and make a relationship stronger.
I wanted to send you some love and cheer you on before your big interview today. No matter what happens, I love you more than anyone in the world. Any place will be lucky to have you. I’ve never met anyone as loyal, hard working, and resourceful as you. I love you, and you got this!
When to write love messages
There are many situations when the special people in your life will appreciate reading about how much you love them. These are just a few possibilities.
- To say “good morning”: A thoughtful text message, email, or note first thing in the morning can be an encouraging start to a new day. If you have family members who live alone, kind messages in the morning might make them feel more connected.
- Birthdays: A best friend, family member, or significant other’s birthday is a great time to say how much you love them and why.
- Anniversaries: The anniversary of a wedding, first date, or day you met shows the person that you value the relationship.
- Valentine’s Day: A Valentine’s Day gesture doesn’t have to be expensive or over the top. A simple and sincere love message can be just as memorable as flowers or candy.
- To show support: If your loved one is going through a difficult time or on the cusp of a major life change (e.g., a new job), sending a message of support can give them the confidence to navigate the situation successfully.
- To say good night: A kind message from a loved one can help end the day on a positive note.
How to write love messages
The following tips can help you write a message that will show your loved one how much you care and why you value their companionship.
Use simple and natural language
Your message doesn’t need to sound like Renaissance poetry to make your loved one feel special. Rather, it should reflect your own writing voice and personality. Stick with the word choices and tone that you and the other person use during casual conversations.
The writing voice that you use may also vary according to your rapport with the loved one. For example, an “I love you” message to your best friend might be more casual than a message to a grandparent. Similarly, a card for a special occasion might use more formal word choices than a text message.
The QuillBot Paraphraser can help you vary the tone of your love messages to reflect your desired meaning.
Include meaningful compliments
Most loved ones appreciate compliments, but the compliments that are most meaningful vary according to the person you love.
Does your partner light up when someone uses adjectives like “handsome,” or “beautiful”? If so, a compliment about aesthetic qualities will make their day.
People also value compliments about personality traits, talents, and intellectual qualities. Consider which qualities are most valuable to your loved one (e.g., a witty sense of humor or a generous heart). Focusing on qualities that reflect their values and efforts will make them feel seen.
Mention a shared experience
A reference to a shared experience shows your loved one that you value the unique memories that you have together. The shared experience can be a major life event (e.g., a wedding or family reunion), but simple experiences such as the following can also help you personalize a love message.
- A place that you visit together often
- A tradition that involves the other person
- A memory of how you met
- A hobby that you share
Proofread before sending
Even though a love note isn’t a formal essay, don’t forget to proofread for typographical errors and grammar mistakes so that the message is reader friendly. Some tips for error-free love messages include the following:
- Capitalize the first word of each sentence and names of holidays like “Valentine’s Day.” Common nouns like “birthday” or “anniversary” don’t need capitalization unless you’re writing “Happy Birthday!” or “Happy Anniversary!”
- Check for commonly confused words such as to vs too or your vs you’re.
- Use end punctuation (e.g., a period or question mark) to show where each sentence ends.
- Use complete sentences rather than sentence fragments.
Examples of love messages
The following examples illustrate a few of the possible ways to express your love and appreciation to a friend, family member, or romantic partner.
Good morning love messages
A “good morning” love message like this example will give the recipient the best possible start to a brand new day.
I’m thinking of you because the irises that you gave me last year are blooming in my backyard. They are absolutely beautiful, just like you! Here’s a photo so you can see how lovely they look next to the roses. I love you so much, and I can’t wait until our visit next month.
Birthday love messages
A birthday is a perfect occasion to create a sweet message for a person you love.
I hope you feel special today, and I’m so lucky to call you a friend. You’re one of the most caring and creative people I’ve ever met. Who knew that when I met you in art class all those years ago that we’d become best friends (or that you’d become one of my favorite artists). I’m constantly inspired by your commitment to your craft, and I feel lucky to be part of your journey so far. Your paintings and your compassion for others make the world more beautiful everyday. I love you!

Anniversary love messages
Anniversaries are great occasions for expressing your love, gratitude, or hopes for the future.
The last two years with you have been the happiest of my life. I’m so excited to spend our anniversary together this evening.
There are so many things I love about you—your sparkling eyes, contagious laugh, and adventurous spirit. I’m especially honored to be part of your life at the beginning of your culinary school journey. I can’t wait to see what you accomplish, and I’m here for you always.
Thank you for making me feel special and appreciated every day. I love you very much!

I miss you love messages
When you and your loved ones are separated by distance, consider sending a thoughtful note or text just to say “I love you.”
I can’t believe I’ve only been away at college for one week. I miss you both so much, but I’ve met some really cool people and like my classes so far. I especially miss family game night, Sunday morning omelets, and even Mom’s terrible singing (haha).
Seriously, though, I couldn’t be here without all of your encouragement over the years and the time you put in this summer to help me get everything ready. I can’t wait until I can come home during fall break and hug you both! Say “hi” to the kitties for me! I love you!
