The MOST IMPORTANT Words You can Say to Your Spouse

4. I am for you.

We might assume (there’s that word again) that our spouse knows we are cheering him/her on in their endeavors just because we are married, but that isn’t always the case.   Yes, our actions speak loudly, but it is always nice to receive a kind word from our spouse.  There have been many times when I doubted my own abilities, and Dave’s words of encouragement gave me the boost I needed to push through.  Our words are so powerful.  I want to be sure that Dave knows I am his biggest fan and cheerleader.  It may sound cheesy, but it’s true.  I see a huge difference in his demeanor when he knows he has my complete and total support. Why would I want to withhold that from him?  I want to bring out the best in my husband, and he desires to bring out the very best in me.  As spouses, lets always be quick to remind one another that we are for each other; not against each other.  We are one.  When win together; We lose together.

Being married is no easy task, but speaking life into our marriages with these simple phrases is something we CAN do to keep our marriages strong.
