8 small clues a man gives when he loves you from the depth of his soul, according to psychology

Love can be a tricky thing to decipher. Especially when you’re trying to figure out if a man loves you from the very core of his being.

As Tina Fey, creator of Love Connection blog and seasoned relationship expert, I’ve spent years analyzing the nuances of love and how they manifest in people’s behavior.

Now, through psychology, we’ve narrowed down eight subtle clues men give off when they’re truly in love. You see, when a man loves you from the depth of his soul, he might not shout it from the rooftops. But he’ll definitely show it in small ways that you might overlook if you’re not paying close attention.

Let’s get started.

1) He remembers small details

Don’t underestimate the power of a good memory when it comes to love.

According to psychology, if a man is genuinely in love with you, he’ll remember even the smallest details about you. These could be things you’ve casually mentioned in passing, like your favorite ice cream flavor or a book you enjoyed as a kid.

Why does he do this? Because when a man loves you from the depth of his soul, he takes an interest in who you are as a person. And every detail about you becomes something precious to him.

2) His actions speak louder than words

You’ve probably heard the old saying, “Actions speak louder than words.” As cliché as it sounds, it holds a lot of truth, especially in matters of the heart.

When a man loves you from his soul, his actions will reflect his feelings even more than his words. He’ll go out of his way to make you happy, to comfort you when you’re upset, and to be there for you in times of need.

I remember a quote from the iconic Audrey Hepburn, “The best thing to hold onto in life is each other.” If he’s holding onto you through his actions, it’s a clear sign that he loves you deeply.

Watch out for these actions. They might be as small as making your favorite breakfast on a lazy Sunday morning or as significant as supporting your dreams and aspirations. These actions are not just gestures; they’re declarations of love.

3) He respects your boundaries

Respect is one of the cornerstone of any healthy relationship. And when a man truly loves you, he’ll respect your boundaries without question.

He won’t push you to do anything you’re uncomfortable with, and he’ll understand that no means no. He also won’t invade your personal space and will give you the time and space you need when you need it.

This mutual respect is something I delve into deeply in my book Breaking The Attachment: How To Overcome Codependency in Your Relationship. It’s pivotal to breaking unhealthy patterns and cultivating love that is deep, authentic, and respectful.

If he respects your boundaries, it’s a clear sign that his love for you comes from the depth of his soul.

4) He’s not afraid to show his vulnerability

In a world where men are often taught to hide their feelings, it may seem counterintuitive to think that vulnerability is a sign of deep love. But it is.

When a man loves you from the depth of his soul, he will let his guard down. He’ll share his fears, his dreams, his insecurities with you. He’s comfortable showing his raw emotions and being open because he trusts you with all of his heart.

It takes a lot of courage to be vulnerable. So if he’s opening up to you, it’s because he loves you deeply and sees a future with you. His vulnerability is a testament to the depth of his love for you.

5) He genuinely listens to you

We’ve all been in conversations where we felt like we’re talking to a brick wall. But when a man loves you deeply, he will genuinely listen to what you have to say.

He won’t just nod along while his mind is somewhere else. He’ll actively engage in the conversation, ask follow-up questions, and offer thoughtful responses. It’s because he values your thoughts and opinions.

I remember when I first noticed this with my husband. It was early in our relationship, and I was sharing my thoughts about a book I had just finished reading. He listened so intently and engaged so thoughtfully that I felt truly heard and valued. It’s moments like these that show just how deep a man’s love can be.

6) He’s not afraid to argue with you

This might sound surprising, but a man who loves you deeply won’t shy away from arguing with you. Now, I’m not talking about toxic, hurtful arguments. I’m referring to healthy disagreements that arise in any relationship.

Because let’s be honest, love isn’t always rainbows and butterflies. It’s raw, it’s real, and sometimes it involves difficult conversations and disagreements.

If he’s willing to engage in these tough conversations with you, to argue and still respect you afterward, it shows he’s invested in the relationship. It means he values your relationship more than his ego.

It’s a small clue, but a significant one: he loves you from the depth of his soul.

7) He supports your dreams and passions

When a man loves you from the depth of his soul, he won’t just be a fan of you; he’ll be a fan of all the things you love and aim for.

He’ll cheer you on when you’re chasing your dreams and passions. He’ll be there in the sidelines, offering support, encouragement, and even constructive criticism when needed.

I always remember this quote from Oprah Winfrey: “Surround yourself with only people who are going to lift you higher.” If he’s lifting you higher, helping you reach your goals, then his love for you is truly deep and genuine.

I’ve experienced this with my own husband. When I was writing my book, there were times when I was filled with self-doubt. But he was there, cheering me on, reminding me of my capability. His support was unwavering and it showed me the depth of his love.

8) He apologizes when he’s wrong

Let’s face it, nobody’s perfect. We all make mistakes, and sometimes, we let our egos get in the way of admitting when we’re wrong.

But when a man loves you from his soul, he won’t let his ego win over his love for you. He’ll apologize when he makes a mistake or hurts your feelings, even if it’s difficult for him.

Admitting one’s faults requires a lot of humility and honesty. So if he’s saying sorry when he’s wrong, it’s a clear indication that he values your relationship more than his pride.

It’s raw, it’s real, and it’s a small but powerful clue that his love for you is deep and genuine.

In conclusion

Love is a complex emotion that manifests in subtle ways. When a man truly loves you from the depth of his soul, he’ll show it through small, often overlooked actions.

From remembering the little things about you, to supporting your dreams, to apologizing when he’s wrong – these are the small clues that show his love is real and deep-seated.

Love isn’t just about grand gestures; it’s about the little things that add up over time.
