The universal love language for men is respect. Husbands yearn to feel esteemed, praised, and validated. Here are ten things that all husbands need to hear from their wives:
1. “I appreciate you.”
Encourage your husband’s hard work. Let him know that you appreciate his hard work and how he provides for your family.
2. “I’m glad I’m your wife.”
As simple as it sounds, husbands want to know that their wives are happy with their marriage and truly appreciate just being with them.
3. “I feel safe and secure with you.”
Show your husband that his protection is important and that his presence is needed.
4. “I’m really attracted to you. You are the man!”
Your husband needs to know that he is the man for the job! Tell him he’s sexy and compliment his best features.
