There are so many ways to say “I love you," but finding new, short love quotes to replace this everyday sentiment is not always easy.

This three-word phrase has come to stand-in for so many other feelings you want to express: You inspire me. I support you. You make me a better person. I don't want to be with anyone else. I wish you could see how beautiful you are to me.

Whether being truly vulnerable comes naturally to you or it's completely out of your comfort zone, we challenge you to figure out exactly what it is you want to say to your partner--your girlfriend or your wife--and shake up your routine with a different short love quote for her on your next anniversary (or any other day).

To get you started, we've compiled a number of quotes to consider. They range from everyday words of encouragement and inspiration to full-on sappy and romantic anniversary quotes.

The reason we focused on short love quotes, rather than lengthy and eloquent sonnets, is because, quite frankly, a short love quote can do a lot of heavy lifting.

The 41 quotes to follow come from our own fortunes and quotes gallery, as well as from people, past and present, who said it better than we ever could.

SHORT LOVE QUOTES TO…REMIND HER THAT YOU LOVE HER EXACTLY HOW SHE IS.

It can be tiring to live life constantly in search of people’s approval. But she found you, and together you can both be unapologetically yourselves. No filters or judgements; she can be one-of-a-kind, truly her.

Whether you haven’t been together long or you have and she's still a bit closed off, sometimes the type of love people need is full acceptance of who they are.

Here are 7 short love quotes that will give her strength to own who she is:

“I love you not for what you are, but for what I am when I’m with you.”
“Somewhere between all those distracting details is beautiful you.”
“Let's be perfectly imperfect together. .”
“Unlearn everything that you aren’t. Relearn everything that you are.”
“To me, you are perfect inside and out.”
“Love is not ‘if’ or ‘because’ it is ‘anyway’, ‘even though’ and ‘in spite of’. .”
“Some things are just too heavy to haul around alone. I am here to lighten your load.”
“You are more precious than you will ever know.”
“You are rare, you are beautiful, you are my ‘once in a lifetime’.”

We know you don’t understand how someone so special could second guess herself.  Write a love letter to her and put inside our Envelope Locket for a meaningful jewelry piece to let her know that her beauty is all you see.

A few Closing Thoughts for the Romantic Novice or Pro

Have you told her yet? The shortest ‘love quote’ of them all...

Maybe "I love you" is exactly what you want to say. If your relationship is fresh and new, this phrase still has a lot riding it. If you're celebrating a new relationship, or a year together, a short love quote in heart jewelry is perfect for the paper anniversary. 

When's the best time to say it? What are the rules? Will she say it back?

You don’t want to scare her off by saying it too early, yet don’t want to drag your feet if she's feeling the same way. The saying “When you know, you just know”, couldn't be further from the truth. But each love story is different, and only you will know when it's right for you.

Before you decide to take this big step in your relationship, think about everything you love about her, the moments you've shared and the future that you see with her. Maybe the best way to tell her is in your own words (or you can steal ours if you need some help).

Relive the first time you said 'I love you' by saying something new.

When you've been together for years, the words you share to express your feelings can lose their luster. Remember that vulnerability you felt rush through your body the first time you said “I love you”? Bring back that feeling. Tell her something that maybe, even after all these years, you haven’t said yet or shared in a while.

No matter how much time has passed since you met, there are still some feelings that may leave you at a loss for words.

Consider any of the above short love quotes to encourage your partner to face her challenges at full force and let her know you’re rooting for her. 

Your words can lift her up when she's feeling down, make her laugh when she’s lost her bright smile, and empower her to pursue that ‘crazy’ dream. Maybe your words can be used to forgive her of something that's been weighing heavily on her or to ask forgiveness yourself…

Feel free to borrow any of these to share with her the next time you're at a loss for words, whether it's your 1-year dating anniversary, your 5-year wedding anniversary, or just an average day.
