Is it necessary to express love?

Question - Gurudev, my wife always complains that I do not tell her 'I love you'. But it is not in my nature to express love through words. Is it necessary to express love?

Gurudev Sri Sri - See, there are different ways of saying and expressing love. Just find a way that suits you and say it. If you cannot say it in words, then express it by making some hand gestures. Or you can write it and give it to her. If you are away, in another place, you can send her a SMS. Nowadays you do not even have to write complete words in the SMS. Just sending those smileys and emoticons does the job. So just send those to her, one in the morning, then one in the afternoon and one in the evening. See, it is our duty to try and keep everyone happy. Whether they choose to be happy or not is up to them. Some people will not believe it, even if you express. After receiving your SMS they will ask, 'Do you really mean what you sent?' They might even ask you this. The mind is really very mysterious. Love is said to be Anirvachaniya (that which is beyond words or cannot be expressed completely through words). You go ahead and do it. Good luck (Laughter).
