Every man desires to know just how much they are appreciated and how well we think they are doing. I mean let’s be real, don’t we want a little praise every now and again ourselves? The thing is when talking to women who have been married for some time several have told me they didn’t realize in the beginning just how much building up their man needed. They felt like he is a man and can hold it all together by himself. In reality they learned quickly just how vulnerable their guys were!
Let’s face it. Our men work hard to provide for us, yet they may be faced with situations that make them questions their abilities or skills. Man was given woman to be his partner and to support him. I completely believe a part of that is building up our men! To help them to go into their day with confidence. And truth is no one plays as critical of a role as we do when it comes to doing just that.
No matter if your husband’s Love Language is Words of Affirmations or not your man does desire to hear these phrases!
You are the best man for me!
Let him know you are so blessed to be his wife. That you truly believe he is the best match for you. That he makes you a better person. That you couldn’t imagine life without him.

Great to remember this!! All important things to say and hear.
My husband really craves verbal affirmation and I’m sorely lacking in that department, Cassie. I need to be more conscious of this need in his life and challenge myself daily to give and give. The confidence it can instill in him is worth any effort I must make! Thanks so much for this challenge!
Oh very true Beth! Ryan’s Love Language is words of affirmations so I try to keep it in the fore front of my mind to give him encouraging words. But with anything else when things get busy I tend to slack off in that department.
Love this!! I try to tell my guy positive things, but sometimes we just get caught up in “life” and forget that they need the affirmations as much as we do. Thank you for the reminder!
Jessica- I am right there with you! Live gets busy and our conversations can turn into just day to day information rather than encouragement.
