170 Love Messages for Her to Show How Much You Care

Everyone needs love. The body actually craves it. Different forms of affectionate touch are known to trigger a release of oxytocin, often referred to as the "love hormone." The chemical messenger influences human behaviors related to sexual arousal and romantic attachment. And it's probably not just touch that sets it off, either. Studies suggest that certain words can also spark specific reactions in the brain. If you're looking for a similar response to what a hug may inspire, then you might just try dropping those three little words: I love you. Of course, that phrase can get old quickly or start to sound hollow. That's why it's important to have a few alternatives on hand. Below, you'll find 170 love messages for her. That way, you can really elaborate on how you feel.

How Can Love Messages Help Your Relationship?

In addition to increasing communication and giving your partner a bit of an ego boost, there are some serious perks to exchanging love messages throughout the day. A 2018 study found that frequent exchanges between partners over text were indicative of greater relationship satisfaction.

And additional research has been carried out concerning our ability to find and maintain love through messages alone. According to experts over at the University of Haifa, online exchanges allow connections to develop quickly and with less prattle than we see in other in-person conversations.

Even if your relationship hasn't reached "I love you" status quite yet, there are plenty of other loving expressions you can use to let her know she's on your mind. Read on for a few ideas on how to get started.
