How Appreciation Can Save Your Marriage

According to research by Shaunti Feldhan, men have a deep need to feel appreciated for what they do.
72% of all men say hearing “Thank you” “Deeply Pleases” them.
Think of it this way, a woman's saying "Thank you" to her man is the emotional equivalent of his saying "I love you" to her.
Think of how good it feels to hear, “I love you” from your husband. That’s how good it feels to him to hear “Thank you” from you.
Unfortunately, according to Shaunti’s research only 1 in 4 men feels actively appreciated by his family.
And 44% feel unappreciated.
I don’t believe 44% of women don’t appreciate their husband. I think we’re just not communicating it.
So, this is a great opportunity we have here to improve our communication in our marriage!
Because when our husband is filled up with words of affirmation and appreciation, his ears will be more fully opened to hearing what we are trying to say.
I recommend looking for things to appreciate him for daily. Some examples of things you can say are:
“You are such a great dad.”
“Thank you for going to work for our family.”
“I love how you handled that meltdown…”
“Thank you for taking out the trash today.”
