7 Compliments Your Husband Needs to Hear

The things we say have a big impact on our marriages. Its also no surprise that men are the less communicative sex, but that doesn’t mean they don’t need affirming words from their wives. Whether or not your husband is begging for verbal affection, or even seems like he needs it. Family Share has put together a list of compliments that your husband needs to hear from you regularly. Here are our faves:

1. I’m so glad I married you

Men need to feel secure in marriage too, and the fastest way to let your man know he’s still the one is to tell him outrightly. This is a great compliment because it can come completely out of the blue, without him having to do anything to earn it. Spontaneous compliments often make the receiver of the compliment feel genuine and sincere.

2. I love how you provide for our family

Men hold themselves to a high standard when it comes to providing, and they need you to acknowledge their efforts. Let your husband know that he doesn’t have to be a millionaire to still make you happy. Appreciate the tiniest things he buys or does for you and the kids.

3. I’m so proud of you

You’ll get far in marriage being your husband’s greatest cheerleader. In a world that continuously knocks men down, be the one to always lift him up, especially when you know you have a good man.

4. You’re such a great daddy

Modern society often tells dads that they come second to mom, so let him know he’s a valuable asset to your family. Take pictures of him when he plays with the children, let him never forget that his value as a father can never be replaced.

5. You’re so hot

Your husband needs to know you love the way he looks, even after a few extra pounds. Many men send and receive love through touch and physical intimacy, so complimenting his body is one of the fastest ways to show him love in a way he understands.

6. You’re so strong

The next time your husband lifts a heavy bag of tomatoes for you, bat your eyelashes a little and compliment his Superman-like strength, even if you could have done the task yourself. Husbands need to know they’re good for something, and they certainly need to know they’re good for you.

7. I love spending time with you

We all get caught up in the business of everyday life, so let your spouse know that you still love to simply hangout with him. After all, you’ll be his best friend and constant companion forever.
