Words of Affirmations for Couples
Explore the power of positive affirmations with your partner to help strengthen bonds & foster love with meaningful words. Discover our examples.
I am sure you have heard of the 5 Love Languages, but if you haven’t, make sure to check out our blog post Understanding You and Your Partner’s Love Language, which gives the breakdown of each one. Just to name them, the 5 Love Languages are words of affirmation, quality time, gift-giving, acts of service, and physical touch. One of the main love languages that we all share to some degree is ‘words of affirmation.’
What are words of affirmation? According to Mind Body Green, these are “any spoken or written words that confirm, support, uplift, and empathize with another person in a positive manner.” In regards to the love language, these are the words that you share with your partner.
Not everyone considers words of affirmation to be one of their top love languages, which is okay (mine is quality time!). However, this is still a super important part of a relationship. According to Growing The Givens, “we usually feel much more confident in ourselves if we know that there are other people who believe in and are confident in us.” This could not be more true.
Remember that saying, ‘sticks and stones can break my bones, but words will never hurt me?’ Well, sometimes words do hurt-- especially if they come with a negative connotation from your partner. For this reason, it is important to show your partner love and share your appreciation for them every day. I guarantee you will get a smile or two.
