Wives, have you ever wondered what your husband wants to hear from you? Today, a top ten list of what every husband wants to hear.
An article on BeliefNet contends that the universal love language for men is respect. Husbands yearn to feel esteemed, especially by their wives. Here are ten things that all husbands desire to hear:
“I believe in you.” This is an instant confidence booster and can turn any seeming defeat into a delayed victory.
“I value your leadership.” Every husband battles insecurity in knowing whether or not they are providing and leading their family in the right direction.
“I admire you.” Always try to catch the things he’s doing right and make a big deal out of it!
“I feel safe with you.” Show your husband that his presence is needed and his protection is important.
“You were right. I was wrong.”Admit when you get it wrong, but more than that tell him when he’s right.
“I appreciate all you do for our family.” If your husband is doing all he can to earn and provide for the home, don’t fail to be thankful and show appreciation for the sacrifice.
“I’m glad I married you.” Be sure he knows without a doubt that you’re happy with the choice you made.
“I missed you.” Never let your husband forget that he is loved and enjoyed in your life.
“Thank you for being dependable .” Express thanks and appreciation when ever you can
And, “You’re an awesome man of God.” Realize that spiritual disciplines, like prayer and devotions may come easier for you. Give him the gift of spiritual encouragement, especially when he takes the lead to initiate family Bible study or suggests going on a marriage retreat. And Love him well.
