Marriages Can Be Helped By Using Compliments

By Carol Ann

If I have learned anything over the years, it is that I often don't offer compliments and praise to others when the situation calls for it. After many years of marriage, it is easy to become complacent and take your spouse for granted. Each of us likes to receive praise, and you should especially remember this in your own household.

Your wife needs to hear your words of appreciation. Knowing that she is aware of how you feel about her isn't enough. She needs to hear it from you. She needs to hear you say she looks beautiful, or how terrific she is, or how much you love her. And she also needs to be acknowledged and praised for doing all of the little things she does each day. Don't just think she does these things out of a personal need. Show your gratitude.

Take the time to notice and praise her for the little things that often get taken for granted. Whether she has brought you a cup of coffee, or has brought in the morning paper for you to read, or has reorganized a room, it is important to acknowledge her and tell her you appreciate all of her hard work.

Letting your partner know how much you appreciate her will likely become a catalyst for change in your marriage. Doing these things will not only improve things, but you will probably notice that she will begin to compliment you too. Working together as a team is the only way to conquer problems in the marriage.

This new encouraging and nurturing environment will help both of you to be more effective as a team. Begin complimenting your wife today and you will quickly notice a new and improved atmosphere around your home. It will make a difference you'll enjoy. - 20607
