67 Things to say to build your Marriage

One of the greatest desires for me is to be a wife that consistently speaks life to my marriage. Words are so strong, vital, and active. They can either bring life or death, joy or pain, hope or despair.

 

Words matter! Whether written or spoken, we should consciously be choosing to positively use them often, especially in our marriages.

 

A few years ago, through self reflection I learned I was not always the best at expressing my love to people, especially to my husband. But more than anything in my heart, I had a deep desire to speak words that could encourage, bring intimacy, and that would build up my marriage.

 

I earnestly want my husband to always feel secure and well aware of my love for him. As we all know actions speak louder than words. I am fully confident expressing my love to him and my children with actions by actively being involved, present, and willing to serve my family but there is a time to speak it.

 

When we speak uplifting words to our spouse, we bring assurance to the actions. When we hear positive words of affirmation, we build up in faith of what seems unseen most days.

 

Not to mention….consistently speaking life to your marriage contributes to building your husband up as a spiritually leader. It builds him to want to care for , protect more, and to lead righteously when he knows his wife appreciates him as a godly husband.

 

Speaking words or writing words that boast in our love for one another takes us to a whole new level of intimacy. It is so funny how a compliment can change the atmosphere in an instant. But did you know it takes, thirteen compliments to replace one negative comment? Just food for thought there….

 

Through much prayer in this area, I am thankful for the past few years that I started to write and speak more openly about my love for my husband. I sometimes just sit and think of all the things I would like to say to him and write them down to not forget. This mama with five kids can easily make me forget, even the things I want to do! 

 

Here are a few ways I like to express my love with words in my Marriage:

Love Notes:

Post it notes on the mirror, in the car, on his desk, or nightstand. Emails to each other throughout a work day is something we have done since dating and still find exciting.

Leaving Scriptures:

Sometimes nothing beats a good scripture to explain all that you want to express. My husband and I have a few verses we speak over our marriage. When I leave scriptures, it’s a great reminder to both of us of the day we chose and spoke those scriptures to each other.

Texting throughout the day:

This is a good way to be flirtatious with your hubby! I love that I can be anywhere when I think of him and all I need to do is grab my phone and send a flirty text. This usually gets us even more excited to see each other at the end of the day.

Prayer time:

Every so often my husband and I will make a daily effort to pray with one another. This gives us a chance to hold hands and to speak our hearts for each other and for our marriage. There is nothing more beautiful than to hear my husbands speak his requests for our marriage to the Lord. It is also such a honor for him to hear mine.

    Such a great list – it’s so easy to forget to take time to be intentional in loving our husbands when we get busy with kids and life. I definitely am guilty of not expressing enough gratitude and love to my husband. Thank you for this!

      Yes, kids and life can sometimes take our focus away. I am always trying to get my focus in this area back on track. But may striving for redemption always be worth it!! =)

    Carmen, great post and really appreciate your discussion of Words of Affirmation. Words of Affirmation is one of my love languages. My wife does a great job of understanding this about me and speaking the love language. She is always leaving me notes around the house for me to find.

    It can never be understated how important it is in marriage to use your words to lift each other up. I think too many couples fail to understand the influence they have on their spouse with their words.

    Thanks for sharing! Steve

      I agree! I will never forget the day, the Lord convicted me in the area of how to use my words in marriage. Since then I have been very careful of what I say and how I say it. We lean on our spouses for support and love more than we do to anyone else so it should we be important to us to not take this lightly. Thank you for visiting and taking your time to comment.
