Affirmations that start with I love…
- I love when you make dinner for our family (or me). If there is a specific meal your wife makes, that you love, include that in your affirmation.
- I love when you take the time to listen to me. Has your wife recently devoted quality time to you? Be specific with that conversation.
- I love your heart.
- I love how open you are. Has your wife recently compromised? Let her know that you appreciate that compromise.
- I love how positive you are. Does your wife always look on the bright side? Believe it or not, it can be exhausting to maintain a positive attitude. Give your wife props for her optimism.
- I love how you treat my friends/family. Family gatherings can be difficult with in-laws. Acknowledge your wife’s efforts and tell her that you love the way she’s able to create healthy relationships with your family/friends.
Affirmations that start with I appreciate…
- I appreciate your thoughtfulness.
- I appreciate how understanding you are.
- I appreciate your ability to see both sides. Has your wife recently helped you see both sides of a dispute/discussion? Reference that time in your affirmation.

Scenario affirmations to remember and try out…
- Compliment your wife’s appearance. Did she try out a new lipstick? Did she spend a little more time on her hair? Or maybe she’s recently lost weight. Make it a point to recognize your wife’s beauty. She will appreciate you noticing her extra effort.
- Ask your wife for her opinion. “What do you think?” “How does this make you feel?” “Do you think I’m wrong?” Starting a conversation with an affirmation, that invites her to voice her thoughts, shows her that you care about her thoughts. The reality is as a husband you want to be heard, too. Your wife isn’t any different.
- Appreciate the ways she’s going the extra mile. Is your wife balancing a volunteering effort along with other tasks? Is your wife training for a 5k? Think about a way your wife is pursuing a goal or helping others. Reassure her confidence by “seeing” her. Acknowledge your wife’s efforts by saying: “You’re a superhero.” “I am so proud of your hard work.” “You are really making a difference.”
