5 Things Every Man LOVES to Hear 

It was one of the most unusual moments I can remember in our entire marriage. My husband and I were driving home from a trip and spending much time in the car. I decided to pose a question to him about one of my upcoming blogs. 

With the help of my very wise husband, this post shares 5 things that women can say to their husbands to bless, uplift, and encourage them.

Our men need to hear positive things from us just as much as we need to hear good words from them.

Why not look over the list and get some ideas today?

 I asked: “Honey, I’m writing an article about ‘5 Things That Every Husband Loves to Hear.’ Do you have any suggestions for my article?”
He didn’t blink.
He didn’t stammer or stutter.
He didn’t pause.
He didn’t even take much of a breath.

My very laid-back, calm, easy-going, slow speaking husband from Texas didn’t hesitate.

He immediately gave me a list of 5 things he loves to hear and would love to hear more often. I had to write as fast as I could write to keep up with him. Within 10 minutes, I had an incredible list!
