Valentine’s Day is just around the corner! Women can get in on the fun too! Here are 5 (five) loving things you can say to your man at Valentine's.


5 Loving Things You Can SAY to Your Man at Valentine’s

You may celebrate with fancy dinners, cards, and candy. 

Or, you may be the type that buys your man a new shirt or golf balls or a new fishing rod.

Whether you purchase a gift or not, you can show great honor to your man by telling him how much you appreciate him.

Men LOVE to hear positive and affirming words from the women in their lives! Click To Tweet


You can give him the gift of words this year for Valentine’s. 

Kind words can be written in a love note or a Hallmark card. You can write little notes on index cards or sticky notes.

You can even take out your favorite lipstick and write him a sweet note on the bathroom mirror!


And, you can open your mouth and SAY some kind words to that man of yours as well.

What can you say (or write)?


Here are 5 Loving Things You Can SAY to Your Man at Valentine’s

1} I Respect You!

Here’s an example:

“As a man, as a person, as a dad, as a husband, as you are – I respect and admire you. Even after all of these years, I still respect you.”


2} I Appreciate You as a Man!

Here’s an example:

“I appreciate you and who you are as a man of integrity. I am so grateful for who you are. I am thankful that I am your wife/girlfriend.” 


3} I Appreciate What You Do!

Here’s an example:

“I am thankful for all that you do for us – for working hard, for giving your best, and for providing for us as you do.”

You can add your own list of what you are thankful for!


4} I Love You!

Yes! They like to hear it too!


5) I Think You Are the Best, and I Would Choose You if I had it to do All Over Again!


That’s it!

I’ve given you great ammunition for Valentine’s Day!

Now, plan your attack on that man with good words.

Speak kind words to him, say good words about him, and write some good words to him.

I think you’ll find that your man will LOVE these words of affirmation – especially coming from you.


And, what better time to speak kind words than at Valentine’s! 

Proverbs 16:24 puts it this way,

“Kind words are like honey; they are easy to accept and good for your health.”

    helloredds@gmail.com · 01/25/2017 at 10:23 AM

    Thanks, Dawn!
    And, I think all men love those words of affirmation.
    Sounds like you are married to a communicator! How sweet!
    Hope your day is great~
    Melanie

dawnklinge · 01/24/2017 at 10:34 AM

I love this! Yes, my man appreciates words of encouragement. Thank you for sharing these great ideas, Melanie. I hope you have a wonderful day!

Sarah Koontz · 01/24/2017 at 8:10 AM

Giving the gift of our words at Valentines, I love it. Thank you for your positive encouragement and hopeful words. Our marriages could all benefit from following this example.

    helloredds@gmail.com · 01/25/2017 at 10:23 AM

    Thank you, Sarah!
    And, I do think all of our men love the affirming words – even if they don’t show it!
    Hope you have a wonderful day today~
    Blessings,
    Melanie

marthajaneorlando · 01/24/2017 at 8:03 AM

I’m a great believer in affirming my husband as often as possible, not just on Valentine’s Day. As you suggested, Melanie, I always write something personal in any card I give, letting Danny know just how much I love and need him for the wonderful person he is. Blessings!

    helloredds@gmail.com · 01/25/2017 at 10:22 AM

    Hey Martha,
    I love hearing that you write your man sweet notes. I know he must love these!
    Sounds like you are an amazing wife!
    Thank you for your kind words today.
    You bless me~
    Melanie

Nicki Schroeder · 01/24/2017 at 7:25 AM

I would take it a step further and say why just at Valentines? We should be doing this all the time. Great post Mel!

    helloredds@gmail.com · 01/25/2017 at 10:21 AM

    I so agree, Nicki!
    We can say these things all the time to our men!
    Appreciate you and your kind words of affirmation~
    Blessings,
    Melanie

Holly @ While I'm Waiting... · 02/09/2016 at 11:09 PM

So, so, SO true! Our words truly do matter and our men love hearing these things! Thanks so much for the reminder and for sharing at Waiting on…Wednesday! I hope you’ll join us again tomorrow!

    helloredds@gmail.com · 02/10/2016 at 8:34 PM

    Thanks, Holly, for stopping by…
    It does our husbands much good to hear those kind words, doesn’t it!
    I didn’t make it over today, but I hope to drop in tomorrow!
    Blessings,
    Melanie

Kelsie · 02/08/2016 at 5:38 PM

Yes, yes, yes!! I love this so much. As a young bride, on year three of marriage, I could always use this reminder and encouragement. I sometimes get too caught up in nagging and mindless disagreements to show my husband just how much I love and respect him. Thank you for this!

    helloredds@gmail.com · 02/09/2016 at 9:26 AM

    Hey Kelsie,
    Thanks for stopping by today and leaving a good word!
    And, keep on encouraging that man of yours! He may aggravate you to death, but he needs your affirmation!
    You are laying the groundwork for the future!
    Praying for you to enjoy sweetness in your marriage!
    Blessings,
    Melanie

Deliberate Mom (@DeliberateMom) · 02/08/2016 at 10:40 AM

I love this Melanie! Yes, there are some wonderful things we can (and should) say to our husbands. “I appreciate what you do” is so important. So often, I can vocalize what I need but I don’t say enough of what I appreciate.

Thanks for sharing (and for linking up to the #SHINEbloghop).

Wishing you a lovely day.
xoxo

    helloredds@gmail.com · 02/09/2016 at 9:19 AM

    Thank you, Jennifer!
    Our men do love to hear those good words, don’t they!
    And, I’m enjoying being a part of the SHINE group!
    I hope you have a blessed day~
    Melanie

Lisa · 02/06/2016 at 9:59 AM

I just did a post on the 5 Love Languages. My husband’s love language is words of affirmation, so I know he appreciates hearing all these things!

    helloredds@gmail.com · 02/07/2016 at 10:03 AM

    Thanks for stopping by, Lisa!
    And, I hope you will use lots of good words this week if you man loves those words!
    Blessings to you,
    Melanie

Erin @ Stay At Home Yogi · 02/04/2016 at 1:53 PM

Love this! Things anyone would want to hear really!

    helloredds@gmail.com · 02/04/2016 at 2:43 PM

    I agree, Erin!
    We all like to hear good words don’t we!
    Hope you have a blessed day~
    Melanie

Ana (@ANAWINSblog) · 02/04/2016 at 1:47 PM

#1 for sure! That would make my husband’s whole day, lol!

Abi Craig · 02/04/2016 at 12:09 PM

Yes! Kind words are appropriate any day . . . Proverbs 16:24 is such a great picture of their marvelous affect.

    helloredds@gmail.com · 02/04/2016 at 2:42 PM

    Kind words make a difference, don’t they, Abi!
    Thanks for stopping by today.
    I appreciate your visit!

Michelle · 02/03/2016 at 8:46 PM

You would think this comes easy for many, but it really doesn’t. I tend to say #3 to my husband a lot, but have to work on the others more. I think after being married for so long, you just assume they know these, but they need to hear them occasionally too as we do. Thanks for the reminder Melanie.

    helloredds@gmail.com · 02/04/2016 at 2:42 PM

    Hey Michelle,
    It does seem like some words are much easier to say than others. I have to work on these myself!
    Thanks for stopping by to leave a good word today~
    You bless me,
    Melanie

Valerie · 02/03/2016 at 4:35 PM

My husband loves to hear all those kind words! I sure love that verse too, “Kind words are like honey!” Wow, so true!

    helloredds@gmail.com · 02/04/2016 at 2:41 PM

    Hey Valerie,
    Those kind words are like honey! Say ’em, Girl! Tell that man how amazing he is!
    Hope you have a wonderful day today~
    Sure am grateful for you!
    Melanie

Katie · 02/03/2016 at 9:01 AM

Using this as a guide to write my card as well, Melanie. Simple truths that too often go unsaid, and I can’t think of a better time to say them. Thanks for the encouragement!

    helloredds@gmail.com · 02/03/2016 at 10:30 AM

    Thanks, Katie!
    My husband suggested these to me. I think they are good!
    And, I agree – this is a good time to affirm our men!
    Blessings,
    Melanie

Leah Adams (@LeahCAdams) · 02/03/2016 at 6:24 AM

Love this post! I’m going to use it to bless my Man on Valentine’s Day. Thank you.

    helloredds@gmail.com · 02/03/2016 at 10:30 AM

    Thanks, Leah!
    I hope it helps!
    My man gave me these suggestions, and I think they are good!
    Hope you have a blessed day~
    Melanie
