Love messages that recognize romance and stir it.
When you meet your special someone, only a certain kind of love message will do. When the relationship is new and exciting, you think about each other all day long.
As your relationship grows, the perfect love messages dig deeper. You learn things about your partner, yourself, and the life you’ve built together. The love messages you share include “I love yous” and shows of gratitude.
From romantic cues to new ways to say “I love you,” choose your favorite love messages and imagine all the ways you can send them. From good morning banners waiting in the kitchen to unexpected cards, letters, and texts, you can make anything in Adobe Express in a matter of minutes.
I love you messages to show devotion in new ways.
It’s hard to beat “I love you.” The word “love” is charged with enormous significance and emotion, partly because, in English, we only have one word for it. (In Spanish, you can choose between “amar” and the less-intense “querer.” In Ancient Greece, there were five words for “love.”)
The following I love you messages give you new words to play with. They’re each rich with their own magical perspective on the devotion we feel for that special someone.
Choose from these beautiful love messages for him or her, and see how this new quiver of I love you messages pierces hearts more profoundly than ever.
- Just when I think that it is impossible to love you any more than I already do, you prove me wrong.
Open a letter with this beautiful love message for her or for him. Then, list some of the ways your partner has recently made you fall even more in love.
- If loving you was a job, I'd be the most deserving, dedicated, and qualified candidate.
- How lucky am I to have fallen in love with my best friend?
- I love you every step of the way.
Short love messages can still be filled with feeling, like this one. Hang it on a banner to celebrate an anniversary or another special day with your love.
- “When I saw you I fell in love, and you smiled because you knew.” - Arrigo Boito
- You've shown me that love isn't just about grand gestures, but about the quiet moments of connection.
Society puts pressure on us to arrange elaborate, romantic gestures. In some social circles, men are expected to do this even more than women. Consider this I love you message for him as a reminder that the most precious moments can be the simplest ones.
- I love every morning that you are with me. It makes me feel so close to you.
This love message changes meaning when used in a card or letter for new love versus mature love.
- Every day I spend with you is the new best day of my life.
- When you fall, I will pick you up. When you are happy, I will share your joy. When you need a friend, I will be the first one there. I will always love you.
Lasting love has an undercurrent of friendship, always moving you forward together. This love message captures that.
- Being in love with you makes everything better.
- In the symphony of life, your love is the sweetest melody that lingers in my ears.
Can you imagine what images could go with this love message on a poster?
- “My soul saw you and it kind of went, ‘Oh, there you are. I've been looking for you.’” - Iain S. Thomas,I Wrote This For You
- My love for you is timeless.
Have you and your special someone been together for years? Are you proud of that accomplishment? Use this message on a banner to surprise your love at home. Your love might be timeless, but that doesn’t mean “obvious.”
- I love you. Nothing and nobody—not even time—will ever change that.
- In the vast ocean of life, your love is the anchor that keeps me steady.
Metaphors are in no short supply in I love you messages for her or him. It takes powerful visuals like this one to capture the depth of “I love you.”
- Even though I'm unsure about most things in life, I am certain that I love you, and I will continue to love you forever.
- I fell hard for you, and I wouldn’t have it any other way.
There’s a moment of marvel when we’ve fallen in love and realize how far gone we are. We relinquish control. We make ourselves vulnerable. We hand our hearts in an outstretched hand to those we love. This message captures that feeling.
- No matter how dark my day is, seeing you always brightens it and makes me realize that with you, I am doing right.
- “I swear I couldn’t love you more than I do right now, and yet I know I will tomorrow.” - Leo Christopher
One recurring theme in these beautiful love messages is a feeling of marvel at how love can grow stronger every day.
- You have touched me more profoundly than I ever thought you could. I love you.
- I'm so completely in love with you. I wake to think of you, and I sleep to see you in my dreams.
- “A hundred hearts would be too few to carry all my love for you.” - Henry Wandsworth
- Like the stars guiding sailors home, your love lights up my path.
A metaphor can turn the idea of love into vivid images. Use that to your advantage when you make an I love you poster for your special someone.
- With you, I've learned that love isn't just a feeling, but a journey of growth and understanding.
The more years you’re together, the more you grow together. Use this love message in a card, then list some of the growth you’ve felt or seen, and how it’s made your love even stronger.

Deep love messages to define precious moments.
When things get serious, it can be exciting and scary. Your feelings are hard to describe, and you find yourself redefining ideas you had previously about yourself, love, and partnership.
Deep love messages for him and for her make philosophers of us all. When we realize how far into love we’ve fallen, we finally know that we can be vulnerable with that special someone. Deep love messages are what we send as a result.
Choose your favorite deep, heart-touching love messages that express how you feel. Use them in cards, letters, or collages as a show of affection in your day-to-day life. Use them in posters or banners when you really want to drive the message home.
- I choose you. And I'll choose you over and over. Without pause, without a doubt, in a heartbeat. I'll keep choosing you.
- With each passing day, I'm reminded that the greatest adventure is walking hand in hand with you.
- Because of you, life is so beautiful.
What a perfect quote to use in a collage of photos showcasing how beautiful life has become.
- I feel like everything in my life has led me to you. My choices, my heartbreaks, my regrets. And when we're together, my past seems worth it. Because if I had done one thing differently, I might never have met you.
Deep love messages sometimes help you remember the important things after conflict. This message is well-suited for someone whose partner struggles with the past.
- Every day with you is a wonderful addition to my life journey.
- You are my happily ever after.
This message of total contentment is a deep love message because you mean it. It’s also cute. Imagine what you could make—like a poster or banner—using this love message in a fairytale font.
- You are far more than my partner. You are my soulmate in every way.
- You are the most incredible woman I have ever known. Your strength, grace, and compassion inspire me every day.
The best thing about heart touching love messages for her is that they can be heart touching messages for him, too. Don’t be shy to switch “woman” for “man,” or to change “strength, grace, and compassion” to qualities your partner has.
- “You have me. Until the last star in the galaxy dies, you have me.” - Amie Kaufman,Illuminae
- You make me want to become a better person.
This is a deep love message that can say even more after conflict. It gives you a graceful way to say, “I was wrong, and for you, I want to be better.”
- I can’t imagine a future without you.
Perfect proposal message, anyone?
- You are the masterpiece painted on the canvas of my existence, completing every stroke.
- Thank you for reminding me I’m worthy of love, attention, and respect.
- Since I met you, I cry a little less, laugh a little harder, and smile all the more. Because I have you, my life is a better place.
Personalize your deep love messages for him or her by “remixing” them with your own word choice. What does your special someone make you do more of, or less of, than before you met?
- Your love has taught me that even in the darkest of nights, there's always a glimmer of hope.
- Everyone has their own motivation to get up in the morning and face the day. You are mine.
Are you motivated to work hard to help build a life together? Are you motivated to get up just to see your sweetheart’s face? Open a letter with this deep love message, then elaborate.
- I can't explain the way you make me feel when I hear your voice or see your face, but I adore it.
The sensation of butterflies doesn’t cover it when love becomes all-consuming. This deep love message captures that.
- Ever since I met you, I have known the true meaning of romance and love.
- “Love is when the other person's happiness is more important than your own.” - H. Jackson Brown, Jr.
- I never believed the words in love songs until I met you.
Could you use this love message in a letter, then write out the lyrics to songs that became meaningful after falling in love?
- The quiet moments, the sweet smiles, and the silly jokes—these are the things I cherish the most.
For the couple who’s been around the sun many times together, this deep love message digs into a different level of love.
- I love knowing we can make it through anything.
Use this message when you’re both working through a hard time together, and it can become a powerful mantra.

Love text messages for when you’re apart (if only for a day).
Can you think of any moments when you need a love message that feels genuine in a text message? Not many people send whole love letters via text (though no shame if you do). Instead, love text messages are short, often cute, and highlight the one thing that’s always true when you send them: You and your sweetheart aren’t together.
Your favorite love text messages for him might jostle his regular workday with a “buzz” he’s bound to check. Love messages for her can be so cute that she can only reply with a string of hearts.
At the end of the day, love text messages all try to be fun. Which of these messages could you send to your special someone right now? Throw in some extra emoticons for good measure.
- Thinking of you and smiling, as always.
Can you get more specific? What about your sweetheart are you remembering or imagining that makes you smile?
- Wishing I could wrap you in a hug right now. Miss you.
During those long days at work (or if you haven’t seen your partner for several days), this message is short, sweet, and genuine.
- Can I borrow a kiss? I promise to give it back. 😘
- Do you have any idea how much I miss you every second that we're not together?
- Just so you know, I'm madly in love with you.
There are times we simply can’t say it enough.
- The only time I smile at my phone is when I get text messages from you.
- My six-word love story: "I can't imagine life without you."
Find a great GIF to go with this one and your love text will be utterly adorable.
- Stop making me think about you! I'm busy.
- If nothing lasts forever, can I be your nothing?
- You make my heart melt. 💕
You can send this love text message whenever you think of your sweetheart, or as a ready reply to the texts you receive.

- You are so sweet and loving. I admire you.
Switch “sweet” and “loving” for the words that best describe your special someone.
- No matter where we are, you're always on my mind.
- Every moment away from you feels like a lifetime.
Perhaps this is a little over the top, but text messages are where we can be that gushy.
- I know you might be busy today⏰, but please add me to your to-do list. ✔
- Can't stop thinking about how lucky I am to have you in my life.
This love text message feels especially true on the rough workdays when all you want to do is go home and talk to your partner.
- Hope your day is going well … just wanted to say I love you.
You can never go wrong with dropping a line just to say, “I love you.”
- Fun fact: You mean everything to me.
- We make a great 🍐.
Too punny for your honey?
- You are the first person I think of after opening my eyes each day.
- Hey there, just a reminder: You're amazing and I adore you.
- Every moment with you feels like a dream come true.
Even when you’re apart, you can savor the feeling of what life is like when you’re together. Share this sentiment in a quick text.
- Sending a virtual hug because you're on my mind.
- Just the thought of you right now warms my heart.
This text message goes well with a goofy selfie you capture of your smiling face.

Cute love messages for when your honey inspires even more sweetness.
One of the ways we make ourselves most vulnerable with our partners is by being totally ridiculous sometimes. We say the corniest things or make the silliest jokes.

Love can’t be profound all the time. These cute love messages are mawkish at best, but all of them will spark a smile. Since these love messages are already over the top, you can go big when you use them. Put your favorites in banners, posters, collages, and other flashy projects to surprise your love. It’s easy in Adobe Express—no experience required.

Tips to use your favorite love messages in ways that resonate.
The Five Languages of Love is a concept from a book of the same name by Gary Chapman, a minister who published the tome in 1992. He said that most of us have one primary “language” we express or receive love in, and that the other “languages” are secondary.
Those love languages are:
-
Words of affirmation
-
Quality time
-
Gifts
-
Acts of service
-
Physical touch
What does that mean for love messages? They’re all based on words, after all. Essentially, they’re all words of affirmation.
You can use love messages to speak another “language” if you use them in specific mediums, though. For example:
- A poster with a love message could become a gift.
- A letter with the message “you make me want to be a better person” could precede an act of service if you commit to change or improve something.
- Making an event out of an anniversary with banners and posters bearing love messages could represent quality time.
- The most romantic love messages, too, can spark physical touch no matter how they’re delivered.
Exercise: How do you personalize love messages?
This list of 144 love messages has a lot of ideas, but if you’re looking for something even more specific for your sweetheart, you can make your own love messages.
Try any of the following to pen your own:
- Use this list as a base and see what the love messages you like inspire. They’ll spark ideas of your own.
- Remix one of the love messages. Switch out the descriptive words to describe your special someone.
- Use love messages as prompts. For a love letter you pour your heart into, start with a love message that means something to you, then see what it inspires you to write.
