'You're a Great Parent'
Being a parent is a challenge, even with the easiest of kids. Nobody feels as if they are getting it right. So when you notice your spouse or partner winning at parenting, tell them. They might not know, and your opinion means everything.
'Lookin' Good!'
He's been getting up early for spin class. She's been training for a marathon. The results are in. Your partner's bod is looking better than ever. So take note and throw a compliment his or her way. It's hard work getting in shape!
'You're Rocking the Balancing Act'
Your spouse is doing it all—balancing work, home, friends and family. Give him or her a compliment for doing so. And help out. Sounds like he or she could use it.
'Nice Hair!'
It might seem trivial, but if she told you she's going to get her hair done, compliment her on it when she returns. A haircut isn't just a haircut to a lot of women. Her hair represents so much more, so take note. She paid a lot for that look, and she wants your approval! Go on.
It Never Hurts to Say 'I Love You'
Most couples think it, but don't always remember to say "I love you." Truth is, you can't say it enough. And strong couples say it—and mean it—all the time.
'I'm So Thankful for You'
There's nothing worse than feeling unappreciated by your partner. A simple way to avoid that is to express gratitude toward your partner and all that he or she does for you. It may not seem like a compliment, but when you're on the receiving end, it sure does.
'I Love Our Home'
Chances are, one person in your relationship takes care of the house more than the other does. That's cool, but make sure to compliment that person on making your house a home. Chances are she or he put a lot of love into making your living space spectacular.
'You're My Best Friend'
You may be in love, but your partner also wants to know that you're best friends. So even though you've got your bros from college or your gaggle of gals you call BFFs, your partner wants to know he or she is your best friend forever.
'Work It!'
Your opinion means everything to your partner. So when your partner accomplishes a goal, or you see him or her working hard, take note and acknowledge it.
'You Look Amazing'
Whether you've been together for 10 minutes or 10 years, your partner wants to know you're still hot for him or her. So say it! Chances are, she or he will say it back. Feels good, right?
'Smarty Pants!'
Our jobs, not to mention our kids, can make us feel a little challenged at times. So it's nice to remind your spouse or partner how smart he or she is. Chances are, it's been ages since someone said so.
'I Miss You'
Absence makes the heart grow fonder, and strong couples are quick to let one another know when they are missed. So when the hubs is on a business trip, or your lady love is busy balancing work and the kids, make sure to say "I miss you." Your partner will be thrilled to hear it.
'I Love Spending Time With You'
Even though you and your partner love to spend time together, that doesn't mean your other half doesn't still love to hear that you love to spend time together. It's easy to say, and the words mean so much.
'Hello, Gorgeous'
You, and only you, can make your partner feel beautiful. So say it! She is.
'I'm Better With You'
You might think it all the time, but when was the last time you told your partner how much better your life is with him or her in it? It might feel as if you're stating the obvious, but you're actually building strength in your relationship. And that's never a bad thing.
'I Believe in You'
There's no better vote of confidence than that of a partner or spouse. Hearing one's partner say "I believe in you" can be just the thing you need to go conquer the world! And you'll never forget that your partner had your back.
'You Are My Priority'
The backbone of a strong relationship is making your partner your first priority. Letting them know that they come first helps them know that they will always be No. 1 with you.
