3 words. 8 letters. Say it, and i may or may not be yours.
Though we wouldn’t want to downplay the importance of those 3 little words, there are a few phrases that have just as much power in strengthening your relationship.
Here are 7 things we all want to hear maybe even more than “I love you.”
1. “You can do it.”
Probably one of the most important roles a partner plays in your relationship is their strength in times when you can’t be strong enough for yourself.
2. “I’m proud of you.”
When you finish up that last bite of a healthy salad instead indulging in your usual double cheeseburger, the best thing your guy can do is look at you filled with pride and express just how he thinks you did a great job.
3. “You’re beautiful.”
We’ve all felt insecure and unworthy at one point in our lives. Being the recipient of insincere compliments hasn’t helped either, and so it tends to elicit an eye roll. But there’s nothing like the feeling of waking up beside someone who takes one look at your mascara-smudged eyes and tells you you’re beautiful like he means it.
4. “I appreciate you.”
It may not be anything special, but somehow when a man takes a moment to acknowledge and understand what you mean to each other, it can be a beautiful feeling.
5. “Let me take you on a date.”
As they all say, routine is the silent killer of passion. So when a man wants to break free of the consistency and take you out to unexpected places, it creates a sense of excitement to keep the spark alive.
6. “I support you.”
If your man’s got your back, you know there’s nothing you can’t do.
7. “I’m sorry.”
Understanding that you’ve made a mistake and being man enough to put your pride aside is so telling about that man that you are.
