Words are incredibly powerful. The right words at the right time have the power to help and heal. They can help us reframe situations or give us a much needed boost.
You’ll know this already if words of affirmation happen to be your love language or that of your spouse.
I discovered that words of affirmation was my son’s primary love language when he was in his teens and I can still see how important they are to him by the care he shows when writing in birthday or Christmas cards. Watch out if I don’t take similar care!
He’s also the kind of person that examines the writing inside the card, whereas I’m all about the picture.
This helps me gain a greater appreciation for the importance of words in all my meaningful relationships, including that with my husband.

- text them to him in a Good morning message when he goes off to work early
