5 Encouraging Things You Should Say to Your Husband Every Single Day
1 - Pray For Your Husband
Ask your spouse regularly what you as his wife can specifically pray for for him. Maybe he has anxiety about your finances or his job has been very stressful lately. Asking him how and what you can pray for him is one of the most important ways you can encourage your husband. Make sure you tell him you will be praying for him.
I like to pray out loud with my husband for a few minutes each day specifically asking God to give him wisdom, thanking God for my husband's abilities and specifically asking God to help him in the ways he shared with me before I pray for him.
2 - Tell Him You Love Him
Have you fallen into the habit of saying "love ya" as your husband pecks you on the cheek and rushes out the door to work. This is nice and all but not quite the romantic, look him in the eye kind of "I love you". Finding a minute or two to be alone as husband and wife, even if it's when you are falling into bed exhausted from a hard day of work, looking each other in the eye and saying "I love you____________(insert husband's name in the blank" is a way you can daily encourage your husband.
Feeling truly loved by your spouse is an encouragement to everyone so make sure to tell him daily how much you love him.
3 - Thank Him For His Hard Work
Men love to feel appreciated and respected, it is hard wired into their DNA! One way to encourage him is to tell him how much you appreciate the hard work he has done whether it is mowing the lawn, working at his job all day or helping out with the kids. Thanking your husband with a non-sarcastic, genuine tone, expecting nothing in return is a great way to encourage your spouse.
If he has been slow to tackle some of the chores on the ever-growing "honey do list" don't gripe about how long it took him to get something done, instead just thank him for the work he did do.
4 - Tell Him He Did A Good Job
Men take pride in their accomplishments and love it when their wife tells them how good of a job they did. Restrain yourself from nit-picking him about a task he just finished but instead tell your guy he did a good job.
All men love to have someone tell them they did a good job! Taking notice and then saying "good job" is a great way to encourage your husband. Look for opportunities to say "good job" daily!
5 - Tell Him How Much You Appreciate Him
Feeling unappreciated can cause a lot of stress in a relationship especially a marriage. As a wife making sure you tell your husband how much you appreciate him for who he is and his role as a husband is a terrific way to encourage your spouse.
Saying something like "Honey, I appreciate how well you care for this kids by making sure their bikes are in good condition" is just a simple example of how you can encourage your husband.
Find something you appreciate about your husband every day and tell him!
Keep your relationship strong and healthy by doing and saying these words of encouragement daily. Remember you are his helper and your words are powerful and important to him.
Use a genuine tone that isn't belittling, sarcastic or nagging and don't expect anything (praise or compliments) in return from him.
