Could I

Is it possible I could love you more? Could your heart be more melded to mine? Could I make your spirits higher soar? Could I give your eyes a brighter shine? Those questions I with guilty shame abhor. They engender thoughts garnished in gloom. Yes, I must confess, I could love you more But HOW leaves me lost outside our room.

Very clever...from the male perspective, the best way to show his love is through physical intimacy, this is expected I think. There are various other ways outside the bedroom though, as the situation demands. Your thoughts Paul? I noticed you did not air your opinion...haha

Kim, an insightful comment and a good question, thank you. One of the most effective things a man can do to show love for his lady is to acknowledge all she does for him, express appreciation, and compliment her. Too many men (as you suggest) think sex is the sole means of expressing love. In fact, it may have the opposite effect, because it may accommodate selfishness.
