37 Things to Say to Your Spouse

At my most recent MOPS meeting (Mothers of Preschoolers) our speaker gave us a list of things to say to our spouse on a regular basis. I thought it would be a wonderful list to share with all of you as we sometimes struggle with so many pressures that the “normal married couple” doesn’t even dream of. So without further adieu:

37 Things to say to your spouse

Perhaps if you just made it a point to say one thing a day to your spouse from the list; think of it as glue to solidify your marriage. And if your spouse is off in a foreign country many miles away from you pick something from this list to finish an email.

Can we add to this list? Are there things that your spouse loves to hear? Something that you love to hear from your spouse? Share your thoughts & maybe you will help another’s relationship!
