The study, which was conducted by Sky Living, looked at 2,000 people currently in relationships.
It found that rather than show their love vocally, many were more likely to express themselves by cooking and cleaning for their partner.
The study also revealed that those who did say those three magic words were more likely to do so at the end of a long, busy week – around 10pm on a Saturday night. By this time, the majority of couples claimed to be in a good mood, having started to relax from the working week and therefore feeling much more romantic.
However, four in 10 admitted to saying 'I love you' without really meaning it, with the average person uttering the expression up to nine times a week.
The study revealed couples are most likely to tell each other 'I love you' just before going to sleep at night, suggesting the phrase becomes a habit for many partners. Others claimed they uttered the words in response to a partner saying it to them, while 41% say it to acknowledge a particularly romantic gesture.
Other reasons couples gave for professing their love for each other included before, during and after love making, birthdays, being in a particularly good mood and being cooked a nice meal.
Going to bed, after being served a hot meal, being handed a hot cup of tea and when going out with friends also inspired people to show their love for their partner.
Antonia Hurford-Jones Director of Sky Living, who conducted the research to launch new television show, It’s Love Actually, said: "These results are really reassuring because they show most couples still find the time to tell each other how they feel.
"And while four in 10 people don’t tend to profess their love for each other as often as they did before they started living together, this is only because the words won’t seem as genuine if repeated over and over again.
"The old saying – actions speak louder than words – can be deemed true in many relationships, and this proves that words are meaningless until they are backed up by feeling, emotion and demonstration."
