In life there are mountains and valleystimes of uncertainty and times of bliss, but “nothing can bring more joy to life than beautifully fulfilling relationships,” as personal development legend Jim Rohn said. According to him, the keys to healthy relationships are communication, patience, loyalty, common goals, an element of fun—and love.

When you truly love someone, it may be hard to express those emotions through words. In fact, real love may make you feel weak in the knees and unable to speak. Perhaps that’s the best type of love – where the other person makes you fall so completely in love that you are unable to think properly. Though that can become a problem as well. So, without any further ado, here are the best phrases about love, and being in love that you can use to express your feelings to your partner.
