"I said I loved you when we got married..."

"I'll let you know if it changes."
~ male patient describing his marriage

So many of my older female patients complain about not being sure if their husbands still love them. These couples have fallen into routines that make intimacy a tiny part of their lives. I ask what things he does for her doing the day - it'll be things like bringing coffee to her or killing spiders. I remind my patient that her husband is doing these things because he loves her.

It would be so much easier though if he just said it.

My advice to all these couples getting married this summer - please ACTUALLY tell each other you love each other regularly. Just do it. Please.
