Guys, your wife needs to hear that you love her, and she needs to hear it frequently. Women tend to place more value on verbal communication than men and so need to hear our love for them. Oftentimes men feel that our actions (such as working hard) should speak of our love for them, but it’s been my experience that women seldom see things like this in the same light. If I get busy doing “important” things like writing, speaking, and running a ministry, Suzanne eventually starts to feel left out.
