You know something? It is really easy to neglect our husbands. Isn’t it? Sometimes we get caught up in our routines, we get comfortable with being married, we start to take our other half for granted, and we forget to communicate.

Right? Or am I the only one who does this? Well I sure hope not.

Just in case I’m not the only one, I thought I’d share 5 phrases you should say to your husband often so he doesn’t forget how you feel about him even when life gets super busy or we fall into a rut.

ONE || I love you. This one is probably a no-brainer, but it’s so important. Pearson says “I love you” to me all the time. He says it out of the blue, when we wake up, when he leaves for work, when we hang up the phone, before we go to bed. All the time. I find myself always putting “too” at the end of the phrase, because he says it first and I reciprocate. I’m working on being the one to say it first more often.

TWO || I am proud of you. Nothing puts a little pep in your man’s step like knowing he’s doing right by you. Those 5 words really can do wonders! Tell him often, so he doesn’t forget. And don’t just say it, show it. Brag about him to your friends!

THREE || Thank you. Sometimes we forget to thank our men for doing the little things. Maybe it’s because we expect him to do them. Maybe it’s because he does them all the time and we’re just used to it. But say thank you when he takes out the trash, complements you, and wakes up and goes to work in the morning. Go out of your way to find things to thank him for. And most of all, thank him for being yours!

FOUR || You are handsome. You know we women like being told we look good, but men like it too. Tell him all the time, but especially if he’s dressed up real nice for a special occasion, or if he’s wearing something new, or if he just got a hair cut or trimmed his beard. Really, you can’t say it too much. He should never have to wonder if you still find him attractive.

FIVE || I’m glad I married you. This may be the most important of all. When we go through the day to day life, we sometimes fight and get frustrated with each other. Sometimes life is strained when we don’t get to spend quality time together or we’re extra stressed with work. Make sure your husband knows that you have no regretts in this department. Tell him you’re glad you said “I do” however long ago it was and you wouldn’t have it any other way.

Do you ever forget to say some of these things to your husband? I know I’m guilty! What is a phrase you would add to my list?
