I love you. Those words have been on my mind a lot lately. Until two years ago, I didn't know what my father looked like or how he sounded when he said, "I love you." My stepfather did his best, but what does "I love you" mean to us as men? How has hearing or not hearing it shaped our future? I've never heard my father say it, so how does that affect my relationship with my kids? Do I say "I love you" less often, with less intensity? A mother's love is different—cuddles and kisses. A father's love is often shown through actions rather than words. How does this impact us as men? Do we say "I love you" carelessly or more reluctantly, understanding its depth? In a society that encourages men to embrace their feminine side, does "I love you" matter more now? What does it mean to you? Did your father say it to you?

Speaker:

I love you. Those words have been on my mind a lot lately. Until two years ago, I didn't know what my father looked like, What he sounded like when he said, I love you. My stepfather did the best he could with what he had. I love you. What does that mean to us as men? How has it colored our future? Hearing that word. Now I've never heard my father say, I love you. So how does that paint my future with my kids? Does it mean I say I love you a little bit less? Does it mean I say I love you with less intensity, with less meaning? What does I love you mean to us as men? Is it important? Because a mother's love is different. When you're leaving. Gives you a cuddle, kisses you. See you later, baby. I love you. A father shakes your hand and says, Oh, I'll see you later. Not every dad says, I love you. But if that's the case, how does, how does your father show you that he loves you? Does he say it or does he show you? Does that impact us as men moving forward? Do we just say, I love you carelessly now? Or do we say it, I love you a little bit more reluctantly because it has a bit more depth because we never heard it. I wonder what impacts that has on us as men now and back then. We live in a more accepting society where men are supposed to be in touch with the feminine side. Does that mean we say a lot more? Does that mean it matters now? What does that word mean to you? Did your father say it to you?
