“A successful marriage requires falling in love many times, always with the same person.” – Mignon McLaughlin

To celebrate my 29th wedding anniversary with Mary Beth, here’s the second part of a two-part series about the importance of sincere communication in a marriage.

The first post, 10 Things to Tell Your Wife Everyday was for husbands looking for heartfelt ways to express how they feel. Today’s post is for wives searching for the right things to say so their husbands will know how much they are loved.

Even though I’ve been blessed to hear these things said for many years, I never grow tired of the love that’s spoken with each word.

Instead of just sharing ideas on what to say, here are the words that have stirred my heart. This isn’t a script, just a blueprint that can stir your husband’s heart, too. Mix up the words – it doesn’t matter. All that matters is you say them with sincerity, and with love.

10 Things to Tell Your Husband Everyday

1. “You do an amazing job making sure our family has what it needs and I appreciate it more than you know.”

2. “You make me feel safe.”

3. “Our children are blessed to have you as their father.”

4. “You still do it for me. Busy later?”

5. “I couldn’t face life’s ugliness without you.”

6. “You know what? You are still my best friend.”

7. “Around 4 o’clock this afternoon I thought about how good it will feel to come home to you.”

8. “I’m proud of you.”

9. “Take some time for yourself – you need that more than you need to be with me right now.”

10. “I love you.”
