So this week I am focusing on not being judgmental or critical and working on complimenting my husband more. Men are very much like us women and they want to feel appreciated, handsome, and needed.
Here are a few different ways to complement your spouse (or significant other)
The first is the most common, Physical Appearance. If you are like me when someone says wow you look great today or those pants make your butt look great! You feel like a million bucks. Men are the same, well maybe not exactly the same but telling your husband that the shirt he is wearing looks really great on him or asking if he has lost a few pounds because he is looking really good will make him feel great!
Letting your husband know he is Appreciated is not as hard as it may seem. Start by saying thank you, and letting him know that it was great of him to help with the dishes (even if you have to ask him to help). Remember how great it feels when you get a pat on the back and are told thank you. The more you thank him and show your appreciation with these little things the more likely he will be to do more of them too (so it could be a win win).
Men really need and want to feel Needed. I find this to me my hardest challenge because I do most of the stuff around the house and my husband can also travel for work quite a bit so I need to be independent and able to do it all on my own. However, I do need my husband and letting him know that is not always easy but it can be done I just have to remember to do it. Simple things like telling him how much the kids and I love him. Letting him know things that I need him to do, and showing appreciation when he does them.
I know I said this is my goal this week, but this is something I need to work on all the time. Everyone loves to be complimented and by showing my hubby how much I care and what he means to me I know it will do wonders for our relationship.
Do you complement your spouse? And what are some of the ways you complement them?
