Do you compliment your dh?

**Sara Noel** · 12-26-2003, 11:04 PM

I've been working on this lately. I noticed that I was lacking in this area and didn't compliment Gabe enough. I'm always looking for new ways to compliment him. I think sometimes in a marriage, people tend to find the things that aren't right instead of patting on the back for the things that are.

Not as much as I should......

Now you all realize that men are very insecure creatures and they need building up.

They may try to put on a strong front, but underneath, they are all looking for that approval from the women that they love. Here are just a few of the things that I regularly compliment my hubby on:
~being such a great hubby and daddy
~I think he's handsome and I just love to look at him
~he's still making my heart leap after all these years
~he's so strong and I love his muscles, especially in his arms
~I feel so safe in his arms
~he's kind and gentle and much more even kealed than I am
~he's got great wisdom and I respect him and he keeps me from overbooking myself in other areas
~he's one of the most loving and giving people I know
~God made him just for me!!!!

I always tell my dh how much he means to me and what a great husband and father he is. I know I could tell him more things. He has a hard time believing the compliments though. I still give them and hope one day he'll believe me.

Not near enough. This is one area I really need to work on.,

**Katybird** · 12-27-2003, 10:05 AM

I do but not often enough.

Yes and Debbie is completely on target with her remarks. Men need this sooooo much and it makes such a huge difference in your marriage if you can do this. My dh is a wonderful man and I'm very lucky to have him, I try to tell often (sometimes I remind him how lucky he is too

).

**SewCrafty** · 12-27-2003, 10:57 AM

Yes I do and I say thank you for all the help he has given me, especially over the last 6 months or so.

**doodlebug** · 12-27-2003, 12:43 PM

Yes, I do, but I could improve in this area.

**Mom23boys** · 12-27-2003, 06:14 PM

Yes I do, but not often enough.

**Michelle** · 12-27-2003, 06:58 PM

Yes, quite often

It makes me feel good to make him feel good.

Yes, and I think it's one of the keys to a good marriage. You have to love & respect the one your with. To let someone know that you appreciate and care about them is the steppingstone to friendship & love. It works with friends ,family & co workers, anyone who means something to you needs you to let them know that they are important and valued. Doesn't have to be with words, but they are so nice to hear. They need to know you care about them.

LOL.. I love these topics, I don't have to compliment him he does it for himself all the time. He was holding the baby the other day and told her that "us good-looking people have to stick together" And every time he shaves he has to model for me..lol.
