When I communicate to my husband
that his work is good or pleasing to me either with a smile or words, it really
does so much for him, and it is encouraging for me as a wife to know that this
means so much to him. It is fulfilling
to encourage him.
How
I can know it is encouraging to my man to speak words of affirmation to him is
that it is encouraging through affirmation for me to hear those words from
him. I know words of assurance are a
relief to me, and it is a relief for everyone really, who needs that affirmation
and approval. My husband told me simply,
“You’re doing a good job,” as he was relaxing on a chair after work. He was referring to a chore I was in the
middle of doing. It just made me so
content as I thought on his words as I finished the chore. I wonder how content a husband must feel who
hears similar from his wife? I had heard
before I was married that husbands respond so so very well to words of
affirmation, and it’s so true I have found!
These words include words of submission, adoration, and
affirmation. These words are ultimately
words of approval. A man truly can live
so much better with generous doses of words of affirmation from his wife each
day!
Entry now: Each word has affect on everyone you say them, too, and sadly for me, the unkind, silly words cannot be taken back. It is not just my husband I have said unkind, silly words to. But there is hope. If you have said unkind, silly words to others or your spouse, you can help heal those wounds by saying kind, healing, uplifting words, and those wounds will heal.
