It do not affects the kids perse, it is more or less the norm. However, love and affection are shown in different ways - Via buying of clothes, etc.

i think it DOES affect the kids because they will believe that this is the way to go about life. children imitate their parents so men would grow up thinking that they dont need to say it to their spouse to live a happy life.

i heard my parents say it all the time. . . . . . . to each other AND to me and my brothers!

Never heard my parents say that. Never hear it from my parents to us as their children either. I dont know it has any effect on my siblings, but I know it does on me. I have to show love and tell the man I am with that I love him, when ever I am in a relationship.

I cant even recall any physical engagement (touching or holding) with my father, and I lived with him for almost 20 yrs. The only physical I can remember is when he was beating the hell out of us, and that includes my mother.

If my parents should say that to each other any day, I will kill a cow for both of them.

I realy tink it does affect d kids. Especialy d male child who mostly learns from experience and observation. D female has a brain structure dat enables her 2 learn from stories. No wonder most nigerian men are not romantic, like father like son

I have never heard my parent say I love you to each other but I have seen it in the letters they wrote in the past. It usually ends with kisses and hugs or I love you. Although when I was a kid my mum use to tell me and when kiss goodnight but it wasn't done often.

What parents do usually affect children, I remember when I was a teenager I never knew you had to say goodnight to people you live with. Whenever I'm going to bed, i get up and leave but I noticed that the kids of the people I was staying with usually tell their parents goodnight. I was shocked, I said to myself what was the point telling your parent goodnight but along the line I develop the habit of saying goodnight to them and till now it is part of me.

I've never heard it  from either of them and they are doing fine.love is not by saying but by total expression which includes being a responsible father among others.i think most fathers are too occupied with those responsibilities to think of saying romantic words.

are you saying that because of responsibilities, people are too "occupied" to say i love you etc to their spouse?!?!
btw, in your "total expression", shouldnt voicing how you feel openly be part of that total package?!

ask your girl if she would rather that you only show her that you love her OR show and tell her once in a while how you feel about her. performing your marital duties doesnt show your spouse the affection/care you have for her, it just show the dedication you have towards marriage.

coming back from work exhausted and saying little things like "i missed you" or "you're so beautiful" to you spouse shouldnt take THAT much more energy.
