5 Phrases Husbands Love Their Wives Say At Least Once Per Month

There are many articles written about what wives need to stay happy, but rarely do we talk about what husbands need to hear on a regular basis.

1. ‘Thank you.’

I know that saying “thank you” for helping out seems like something that you shouldn’t HAVE to do, but it is very important. Everyone wants to be recognized for the efforts they make, even if those efforts might not be exactly what you want them to be.

2. ‘I love you.’

So many husbands and wives stop saying “I love you”, but failing to say the words is a recipe for disaster.

When our marriage was struggling, I asked my ex-husband not to say “I love you” when we hung up the phone or said goodbye in the morning. But he wasn’t happy and left a few years later, saying we “didn’t love each other anymore”.

3. ‘You’re hot.’

When married lives get crazy, sex often falls by the wayside. To help your husband deal with this absence, tell him “You’re hot” on a regular basis, because being desired can be as important as actually having sex.

Just saying “You’re hot” to him will remind him that you still desire him, no matter what he’s doing.

4. ‘Go have fun.’

When our kids were very young, my husband decided to run the New York Marathon. I was not happy with this, but I didn’t tell him the extent of my feelings, so our marriage suffered.

5. ‘I’m proud of you.’

Husbands need to hear that you’re proud of them on a regular basis.

Many men’s self-esteem is achievement-based, while women thrive on emotional connection. To be recognized by their person for their accomplishments feels really good.

When you tell your husband that he’s done a bad job at something, do it in a positive supportive way so that he will hear you and do things the way you want them done the next time.

The key to keeping a marriage healthy and happy is to say the phrases that husbands need to hear on a regular basis.
