Think about that special guy in your life — have you ever gathered any love quotes for him? Sharing and receiving declarations of love is a beautiful act that creates a long-lasting sense of appreciation.
Take Baby Houseman saying, “I’m scared of walking out of this room and never feeling the rest of my whole life the way I feel when I’m with you.” The power it holds resonates long after the credits role in “Dirty Dancing.” The same is true for Emily Brontë’s heart-melting line in “Wuthering Heights”: “Whatever our souls are made of, his and mine are the same.”
While you can always share how you feel in your own words, there’s something so beautiful about using a love quote that shows how human it is to care so deeply. Thankfully, there is no shortage of amazing love quotes from movies, books or songs.
Once you pick a great quote, there are so many lovely ways you can share these sentiments, such as a Post-it note left on his favorite coffee mug or written in an anniversary card. It might even be as simple as a midday text to show you’re thinking about him.
The big question is, which of the many incredible love quotes out there will you choose? Here are some of our favorite love quotes for him.
