Let’s admit it, we all like our ego stroked a bit. Think back to a time when someone gave you a compliment that made you feel good. It doesn’t take long for a memory to pop up, huh? That’s because we all like to hear that we’re doing something well – whether it’s a new haircut someone loves, a conquered feat, or your blessings being recognized by some stranger (“Your children are absolutely gorgeous!). Compliments from anyone make you smile and feel good about yourself. It’s just how we’re wired!
Guess what?! Your husband likes to hear a compliment too! Compliments are giving praise and admiration. Men want to know that they’re doing things right. Giving his performance verbal recognition is a great way to compliment your man. Complimenting his physical appearance lets him know that you still find them attractive. There are many, many ways to compliment your husband and boost his self esteem.
