Transforming Truth #4: Your affirming words touch him in a deeply emotional way

Your husband doesn’t just want to do well at things, in order to do well at things. Your husband longs for you to be his biggest fan. Hearing your words of affirmation touches him in a deeply emotional way.

When you tell him “thank you” and affirm his efforts, you let him know he is good enough, that he measures up, and that you approve of him. His tender heart needs to hear those words from your lips. For him, it’s transformational. Without them, it’s like that world without sound.
