What Husbands Want Most of All

Say a kind word to your husband That's what he wants most of all Not a gaggle of gifts for his birthday You don't have to buy out the mall Compliment him on his appearance Or say that you appreciate his perseverance Tell him it makes you happy he's so tidy and neat That in the house he puts slippers on his feet Let him know that he's magic for your son That he's turned him into a real gentleman Point out just how much his daughter loves him That she tells you only God is above him So forget all the knick-knacks and accoutrements Hubby thrives on kind words and encouragement

Well said Gershon, a few words of appreciation and encouragement never goes amiss. Tom

You are so right! My husband would much rather have a kind word or some attention than any gift. I read this to him just now, and he agrees 110 percent. Thanks for this reminder. Rhonda xx

I agree Gershon, what really matters is that we speak from the heart and give thanks, never taking for granted the love that is being offered, everything else is just fudge on the cake, Thank you for sharing. xo

Hmm yeah, couple ought to appreciate and compliment each other. Sometimes even after seeing beauty or something special in a person, we remain silent, this is what create distance in a relationship. But don't always expect love and appreciation from your partner only, other one must behave in the same way... Two way traffic you know
