17 Compliments Strong Couples Give Each Other

Being a parent is a challenge, even with the easiest of kids. Nobody feels as if they're 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.

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. Take note and throw a compliment their way. It's hard work getting in shape!

Your spouse is doing it all — balancing work, home, friends, and family. Give them a compliment for doing so. And help out. Sounds like they could use it.

It may 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 haircut to most women. Her hair represents so much more, so take note. She paid a lot for that look, and she wants you approval! Go on.

Most couples think it, but don't always remember to say, "I love you." Truth is, you can't say it enough. Strong couples say it — and mean it — all the time.

There's nothing worse than feeling unappreciated by one's partner. A simple way to avoid that is to express gratitude toward your partner and all they do for you. It may not seem like a compliment, but when you're on the receiving end, it sure does.

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, they put a lot of love into making your living space spectacular.

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 they are your best friend forever.

Your opinion means everything to your partner. So, when your partner accomplishes a goal, or you see them working hard, take note and acknowledge it.

Whether you've been together for 10 minutes or 10 years, your partner wants to know you're still hot for them. So, say it! Chances are, they will say it back. Feels good, right?

Our jobs, not to mention our kids, can make us all feel a little challenged at times. It's nice to remind your spouse or partner how smart they are. More often than not, it's been ages since someone said so.

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.

Even though you and your partner love to spend time together, that doesn't mean your other half doesn't still love to hear you say that you love to spend time together. It's easy to say, and the words mean so much.

You can help to make your partner feel beautiful, inside and out. Say it! She is.

You may think it all the time, but when was the last time you told your partner how much better your life is with them 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.

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 one needs to go conquer the world! Plus, you'll never forget that your partner had your back.

The backbone of a strong relationship is making your partner your first priority. Letting them know they are your first priority helps them feel secure knowing that they always come first with you.
