How to Say “I Love You Forever and Always” in French

Je t'aime pour toujours et à jamais
The English phrase "I love you forever and always" is expressed in French as Je t'aime pour toujours et à jamais.
This is a romantic expression used to tell someone that you will love them for the rest of time. While the standard way to say "I love you" is simply Je t'aime, adding pour toujours et à jamais elevates the expression from a simple statement of feeling to a poetic vow.

Which one should you use?

The phrase Je t'aime is the standard, direct way to say "I love you". By appending pour toujours et à jamais, the speaker transforms the statement into a more intense, poetic declaration of eternal devotion.

How does it change in a sentence?

If you are addressing more than one person or using the formal vous, you must change Je t'aime to Je vous aime, as seen in the phrase Je vous aime pour toujours et à jamais.

Did you know?

  • The word toujours literally translates to 'all days', stemming from the Old French tous jorz.
  • While 'always' is often a single word, the phrase uses both pour toujours and à jamais to create a rhythmic, poetic emphasis through redundancy.
  • The word jamais originally meant 'any more' when referring to the future, coming from the Latin words iam and magis.

Examples in context

  • Mon amour, même après toutes ces années, je t'aimerai toujours et pour toujours.
    My love, even after all these years, I will love you forever and always.
  • Madame Dupont, je vous aimerai pour toujours et à jamais.
    Mrs. Dupont, I will love you forever and always.
  • Sache que je t'aime pour toujours et à jamais.
    Know that I love you forever and always.
  • Mon chéri, je t'aime pour toujours et à jamais.
    My darling, I love you forever and always.
