We women love to hear romantic words like love, cherish, special, beautiful, angel, and the many other “love” words you will find written in the myriad of greeting cards. When spoken to us by our husbands these words make us feel so loved; these words touch our souls. So then we speak the same “love” words to our husbands to make them feel loved and cherished. Remember though, that men need to feel respected; they do not respond to the same kind of “love” words as women do. Of course your husband will appreciate these love words (they are much better than critical words), but how can you speak in the language of respect?
Here are some suggestions:
Words like respect, hero, proud, strong, impressed, etc. will mean much more to your husband than “love” words. So try to speak your husband’s “respect” language. You may be surprised at how loved he will make you feel when you make him feel respected.
