What Your Wife Really Wants to Hear You Say
A few months ago, I wrote a post on my blog called 25 Things Your Wife Will Love to Hear You Say. Apparently, this is something many men would love to know. At the same time, many wives desire encouraging words from their husbands. As a result, this post quickly became the most viewed post on my website.
Men are searching for answers
As I researched how and why so many people were viewing this post, I noticed a trend in search terms. They were searching for things like:
“nice things to say to your wife”
“words of encouragement for wife”
“things to say to your wife”
“encouraging words for my wife”
“loving things to say to your wife”

There were many more, and many variations of them all. We know our wives need encouragement from us in marriage, but we are searching for just the right words to say. We know our marriages will benefit when we know what our wife really wants to hear us say.
My quest to find out
Upon realizing this, I decided to find out the most encouraging words for your wife. I did this by asking several wives this question, “What words do you love to hear your husband say?”
I received 12 responses, and I’m sharing their answers below. Men, the answers to these questions could very well be just what your wife wants to hear from you. Regardless, part of your job is to build her up. Our job is to encourage our wives, and we should strive to succeed in this area just like we do in all others.
Here is the answer to what your wife really wants to hear you say.
I know it seems cliche but the most comforting words that come out of my husband's mouth is when he tells me "I love you." I also love hearing him tell our daughters. These three words have the ability to make all of our faces light up. While my husband shows me that he loves me by his actions sometimes I need to hear it and hearing him say those words never gets old.

Words that I like to hear him say to me... "I love you babe." "Everything is going to be ok." "Don't worry. I got you." Those words all comfort and reassure me. I also love to hear him speak to our sons Mine and his that we brought into our marriage. Whether he is yelling at them about not mowing the grass, instructing them on how to drive, or just chatting about sports. I love to hear him being an active father with them and also to our daughter that we share.
