How to Win an I Love You More Argument

How do you possibly win an "I love you more" argument? It turns out that there are a ton of ways—you just have to get creative! Here, we'll share some sweet and sassy comebacks that will make your SO admit defeat. Read on to come out on top the next time you hear "I love you more."

[Edit]Steps

[Edit]“I love you the most. 😎”

  1. Dazzle them with a word that's even better than "more." After you two have volleyed "I love you more's" back and forth like a ping pong match, throw them a curve ball. Pull out the word "most" and they won't know what hit them.[1]

    • “My love for you is unparalleled. 🤓”
    • “I love you more than what’s humanly possible. 🧙🏼‍♀️”
    • "I don't know how it's possible to love someone more than all the universe in all the skies"[2]

[Edit]“I think about you day and night!"

  1. Say you're totally smitten to be 100% victorious. Tell them that there's no way they can love you more since they're always on your mind. Your devotion will make them melt.

    • “You’re on my mind 24/7! I totally adore you.”
    • “I’m head-over-heels for you every second of the day.”

[Edit]“I love you to the 🌕 and back."

  1. Declare your love's out of this world to win your silly fight. Tell them that there's nothing on Earth that can compare to how you feel about them. You'll make them swoon with your adoring words.

    • ”My love for you is out of this world. 🪐”

[Edit]“You’re going to be my #1 for an eternity. ✨"

  1. Tell them you'll always be their biggest fan to win them over. Bring up words like "eternity," "forever," or "endless." It'll be unmistakable that you'll always be there for your SO.

    • “Your happiness is my biggest priority, babe!”

[Edit]“If I had to choose the best part of my life, it’d be you! 😘”

  1. Say they're a gift so they'll melt and admit defeat. Say that just their presence is the highlight of their life. Express a ton of gratitude and they'll feel truly appreciated.[3]

    • “You are my greatest joy.”
    • “When I reflect on what I’m grateful for, I think of you right away.”

[Edit]“I've got proof I love you more. I bought you a PS5!”

  1. Be over-the-top and give them a gift to come out on top in your "fight." This is a great call for a special milestone, like their birthday or an anniversary. Use a thoughtful gift as evidence of how much you adore them.[4]

    • “It’s obvious I love you more! Just check out the package on your doorstep. 📦”
    • “I think these concert tickets show I love you more. 🎫”
    • “I blow your love out of the park! I booked us a trip to Maui! 🌴”

[Edit]“All the dictionaries in the world wouldn’t have enough words to describe my love! 📚”

  1. If you're left speechless, say words just can't express all your love. Let them know that there's no way you could tell them how much you love them, even if you had all the phrases for "love" at your fingertips. If you're with each other in person, give your SO a hug to really seal the deal.[5]
    Win an I Love You More Argument Step 7.jpg
    • “I’d run out of breath if I listed all the ways I love you. 😘”
    • “It’d take more than a lifetime to share everything I love about you.”
    • “It’s impossible to find the words to express my love! 🤯”

[Edit]“A trillion poems couldn't capture how much I love you.”

  1. Feel free to exaggerate in the argument so you can score an easy win. Use impressive numbers like "one hundred," "a million," or a "thousand" to express that you just can't quantify all your love.[6]
    Win an I Love You More Argument Step 8.jpg
    • “You deserve more than a thousand dates! You’re incredible!”
    • “A million gifts wouldn’t be enough to show my devotion to you! 🎁”
    • “I adore you so much! A billion “I love you’s” can’t even scratch the surface!”

[Edit]“Hey! This isn’t a competition. But if it were one—I’d win. 😇”

  1. Get really sassy and tease that you'll always win in this situation. Remind them that it's not a contest so they think they're off the hook. Then, as your finishing move, declare that you'll always be the victor in an "I love you more" argument.
    Win an I Love You More Argument Step 9.jpg
    • “It’s not fair to draw comparisons. 😉 I’d beat you, anyway.”
    • “Sorry to say, but you’d always be outmatched, babe. 💪 💓”
    • “Let’s not argue about this. 😊 I’ll always be the one to love you more!”

[Edit]"I know. 💁"

  1. End the argument by soaking up your SO's love. Get a little cocky and say you're already totally aware that they adore you. It's a great way to stop them in their tracks and make them laugh.
    Win an I Love You More Argument Step 10.jpg
    • "Tell me something I don't know. 😝"
    • "Okay! Sounds good to me."
    • "How could you not? 🤷🏾"

[Edit]"Let’s just agree that we love each other equally."

  1. You're not really arguing, but calling a "truce" is still pretty cute. Remind them that love doesn't have to be a battlefield. Focus on what really matters—your feelings for each other—and celebrate that you're both completely in love.[7]
    Win an I Love You More Argument Step 11.jpg
    • "Why don't we call it even? We're both 100% in love. 💖"[8]
    • "I don't want to argue. 😝 Let's just call a truce."
    • "I think we should call it a day and just cuddle."

[Edit]All About the Enneagram Test

What is the Enneagram Test?
The Enneagram Test is an in-depth personality questionnaire that has both spiritual and psychological influences. The American Journal of Psychiatry specifically defines the Enneagram system as “a personality theory describing 9 strategies by which the psyche develops a worldview and relates to self and others.” In other words, the Enneagram outlines 9 different core philosophies and mindsets that all people develop from a young age, and how each philosophy influences the way a person interacts and connects to the world around them.
The word “Enneagram” is actually Greek in origin: “Ennea” means “nine,” and refers to the 9 Types encompassed in the system, while “gram” means “drawing,” and refers to the iconic 9-pointed visual design the Enneagram Test is known for.

The 9 Enneagram Types

  • Type 1 - The Perfectionist: Type 1s set the bar really high for themselves, and are known for being responsible and reliable.
  • Type 2 - The Giver: Type 2s tend to put others first, and are known for their empathy and kindness.
  • Type 3 - The Performer: Type 3s are go-getters, and are known for their hard-working spirit and sense of drive.
  • Type 4 - The Romantic: Type 4s are soul-searching creatives who are known for their sense of passion and individuality.
  • Type 5 - The Observer: Type 5s are private intellectuals who are known for their great analytical skills and smarts.
  • Type 6 - The Skeptic: Type 6s are loyal friends who are known for their perceptive skill set and ability to plan ahead.
  • Type 7 - The Enthusiast: Type 7s are adventurous and fun-loving communicators who are known for their upbeat perspective on life.
  • Type 8 - The Protector: Type 8s are capable leaders who are known for speaking their minds and carving their own paths in life.
  • Type 9 - The Mediator: Type 9s are peace-loving individuals who are known for their harmonious nature and dislike of conflict.

Body, Heart, & Head Types
The Enneagram divides all 9 Types into 3 categories (or “centers of intelligence”): Body, Heart, and Head. Knowing which category your Type falls into can provide some valuable insights into who you are and how you act.

  • Body Types: These Enneagram Types are influenced by an instinct-based mindset that’s rooted in principles like feeling in control and taking constructive steps to solve a problem.
    • Body Enneagram Types: Types 8, 9, and 1
  • Heart Types: These Enneagram Types are influenced by a feeling-based mindset that’s rooted in being successful, feeling connected to others, and meeting the expectations they feel are assigned to them.
    • Heart Enneagram Types: Types 2, 3, and 4
  • Head Types: These Enneagram Types are influenced by a thinking-based mindset that’s rooted in collecting intel, planning ahead, and having multiple backup plans.
    • Head Enneagram Types: Types 5, 6, and 7

What are Enneagram wings?
Think of Enneagram “wings” as a subtype of each main Type; for instance, someone could be a Type 1w2, a Type 3w4, a Type 8w9, and so on. A person’s wing can only be a neighboring number of their main type—say, a Type 6 could be either a 6w5 or a 6w7, but not a 6w1 or a 6w2. Knowing your wing can help you better understand which adjacent Type influences your current worldview, but it’s not an essential to knowing and appreciating your primary Enneagram Type.

  • Note: This wikiHow quiz does not include Enneagram wings in the results.

    • If you aren’t the biggest fan of plain water, you can always make infused water using your favorite produce to give it a bit more flavor. Try strawberries, cucumber, oranges, or mint!
    • Remembering to drink more water can be difficult when you first start. Try setting a reminder on your phone or putting a note on the fridge. Alternatively, you can also download smartphone apps that track your water intake and give you friendly reminders.
  2. Brush your teeth regularly to help your smile look its best. A bright, happy smile is a massive part of the glow up transformation! Brush your teeth every morning and night, and remember to floss your teeth each day too. Visit a dentist once a year for an annual checkup to keep your teeth healthy and strong![7]
    Have a Glow Up Step 7 Version 2.jpg
    • You can also use teeth-whitening products to help your smile dazzle.
  3. Eat a well-balanced diet with plenty of fruit and vegetables. How you fuel your body can make a huge difference to your glow up. Each 5-9 servings of fruit and vegetables per day, and plenty of lean protein, whole-grains, and healthy fats. Remember that everything in moderation is the best way to go, so limit your intake of processed foods but treat yourself occasionally too.[8]

You can also exercise with friends if that makes it more fun![9]

    • You don’t have to join a gym unless you want to. There are plenty of ways to exercise in your own home.

[Edit]Becoming Confident and Setting Goals

  1. Say positive affirmations every day to help build good self-esteem. A huge part of your glow up is learning to believe in yourself! Write down recurrent, negative thoughts and then write positive, logical affirmations as a counter-argument. Practice saying these positive affirmations aloud every day. Although it may feel difficult or silly at the beginning, with enough time and practice it should become easier to believe the positive affirmations.[10]
    Have a Glow Up Step 10 Version 2.jpg
    • Some popular positive affirmations include, “I deserve to be happy,”, “I am an intelligent and hard-working person,” and “I am capable of reaching my goals,”.
  2. Surround yourself with positive people that support you. The attitude of the people who you are close to can influence you greatly. Seek family and friends that have a positive attitude and are supportive of who you are! You can also be positive and supportive to those around you, helping them glow too![11]
    Have a Glow Up Step 11 Version 2.jpg
    • If you are having trouble finding positive and supportive people, try making a few new friends. Join a club or group with people that have similar interests, use social media, or simply reach out and talk to new people that you normally wouldn't. You have nothing to lose!
  3. Use positive self-talk and practice being assertive to help your confidence grow. Glowing up is all about having the confidence to shine and to be your best self. Even if you don’t feel confident right away, simply fake it till you make it and nobody will be able to tell the difference! Use positive self-talk to bring yourself up instead of down, challenge negative thoughts about yourself, and practice being assertive in your day-to-day life. It can also help to surround yourself with confident people, as their confidence can rub off on you![12]
    Have a Glow Up Step 12 Version 2.jpg
    • If you are having trouble with your confidence or self-esteem, talking to a mental health professional like a counselor or psychologist can really help.
  4. Set achievable goals and challenge yourself to accomplish them. Maybe you have financial, career, or personal goals that you have been wanting to achieve? Sit down and write a list of your goals. Then break each goal up into smaller, actionable steps that you can get started on. Keep your goals realistic and celebrate your successes![13]
    Have a Glow Up Step 13 Version 2.jpg
    • Remember that your goals can be as big or as little as you like. As long as you are realistic about how you will achieve them, that’s all that matters!

[Edit]Tips

  • Remember that your glow up is about you and not anyone else. All that matters is that you are happy with who you are and if others happen to notice your transformation, then that's a great bonus!
  • It’s not going to happen overnight. If you keep doing this, it’ll show in your attitude and your appearance.
