Think aloud
When you’ve been married to the same man for years, you stop using words of affirmation with him. You stop using cute words to describe your husband.
Yes, your entire life suddenly revolves around the kids and/or work. However, you would love to show him that you actually appreciate him a lot.
You want to express your feelings with words but you don’t actually know how.
Things like this can make or even break a marriage, because words hold so much power that we’re not even aware of it.
If you use your words correctly, you can get so much out of your relationship with your partner that new love can bloom.
The most important thing to do is to remember that you shouldn’t be shy about this even if you don’t do this type of thing often.
He’ll know that it’s unknown territory for you, but he will appreciate your efforts.
Words to describe your husband can have a wide range of usage.
You can call him these terms when you’re thankful you have him in your life or when you ask certain things of him to make him putty in your hands.
Words to describe your husband
So you have found the real deal. You have found the love of your life, but have become quite bored with the same things that you say to him.
Whether it is nicknames or describing him with simple adjectives, you are always at a loss for words for this man.
However, he somehow always ends up surprising you with the cutest nicknames and various heart-stopping words.
You’re starting to think that this man has a special gift. He always makes you feel so loved and taken care of.
You want to thank him. You want to do the same things for him, but you simply aren’t as gifted with your words as he is.
Because of that, we have this little list of words to describe your husband when you’re feeling extremely affectionate toward him.
Words to describe your husband when you want to remind him how much you love him
Men often live in silence, always silently pleading their partner for any type of affirmation that they are loved.
On account of that, let’s find appropriate words to describe your husband when you really want to remind him of how much you love him.
1. Caring and dependable
I know that this world is full of fake promises, but your husband isn’t like that. He is extremely caring and very dependable.
You can always count on him to be there for you, to care for you, and make you feel safe.
If this is true for him, then caring and dependable are the perfect words to describe your husband.
2. Gorgeous and handsome
We, as women, get compliments based on our looks quite often and we brush it off.
However, men don’t get that much praise for their appearance or the effort they always put into looking presentable for their significant other.
Don’t forget to compliment your man on his looks. He needs the confidence boost just as much as you do!
If you think that your husband is really struggling with confidence or doesn’t see himself as handsome or gorgeous, use these words to describe him every once in a while and watch his reaction.
3. Romantic and affectionate
Not many men out there are able to express their gentle and affectionate side. They simply don’t feel comfortable enough to to be romantic.
Being a hopeless romantic in this world is not always the easiest thing, especially if society tells you that you’re less of a man because of it.
So, instead of brushing his efforts aside, tell him that you think of him as romantic and affectionate.
You can use these words to describe your husband in any given situation, it doesn’t always have to be when he says or does something for you.
4. Serene and trustworthy
The word serene sounds like it came straight out of a fairy tale.
Use these two words to describe your husband when you feel like you can tell him anything. He is your safe haven and he should know that.
Don’t let him forget how appreciative you are of the fact that you can always talk about anything and everything with him and that he’s trustworthy.
Why? Well, he makes you feel calm, peaceful and untroubled, so why not let him know that?
5. Admirable and motivated
Society always puts so much pressure on men, deeming them the breadwinners.
Your husband works so much and he simply wants to be able to give you everything you need in your life.
He always says how hard he works and how much he wants to better himself in his workspace.
However, the other employees or management simply don’t seem to encourage him enough.
Because of that, don’t forget to use admirable and motivated to describe your husband because his work ethic really is commendable.
6. Faithful and loyal
If your husband really is and always has been loyal to you, show your appreciation for it.
He’s faithful to the life you two have built up together and he won’t do anything that will break that apart.
He wants you to know that he would never risk losing you, no matter what.
He’s loyal to you and you only. No one deserves a cheater for a husband and he knows that, so loyal and faithful are two perfect words to describe him.
7. Open-minded and intelligent
Doesn’t everyone want to be reminded of how intelligent they are? Don’t we all want to hear that we are smart and that someone sees that?
On account of this, don’t forget to compliment your husband’s intellect. He needs this affirmation in a world that doesn’t appreciate him as you do.
Use this and open-minded to describe your husband not only in front of him but also in front of other people.
He will be thrilled to know that you talk so positively about him.
8. Irreplaceable and authentic
There is no one like your husband out there and you know that. You know that you wouldn’t be able to find someone like him anywhere in the world.
He is so authentic and unapologetic about it.
He truly is irreplaceable and unique.
You wouldn’t want anyone else to be next to you but him, so don’t feel like you can’t use these words to describe your husband.
He needs to know that you wouldn’t be able to love anyone as much as you love him.
9. Ideal and perfect
Why did you pick your husband to be the man with whom you’re going to spend the rest of your life?
The answer seems simple, doesn’t it? You two are simply the perfect match. He is your ideal partner.
In him, you found everything you wanted a man to be, that’s why you decided to say yes when he asked you to marry him.
If you truly do feel this and think this about your husband and your marriage, don’t keep it to yourself.
Tell him by using these words to describe him and your relationship.
You’ll see how easy it’ll be to make a smile appear on his face. He’ll beam at you and know to be grateful that he has you to remind him.
10. Respectful and kind
Your husband is a man who would never put you in a situation where you felt disrespected.
You can see the way he chooses his words wisely instead of just lashing out at you when he’s angry.
He respects your boundaries, he never makes you feel uncomfortable, and he is always extremely kind and considerate.
Imagine how many women out there don’t have the same luck that you do.
I know that it sounds like the bare minimum a man can do – to be respectful and kind.
However, those are still valid words to use to describe your husband.
If you want him to continue doing this, then you have to encourage such behavior with compliments.
11. Indulgent and selfless
If these words can be used to describe your husband then you have yourself a keeper, for sure!
Your husband is always very generous with his time, attention, and money when it comes to you.
He always seems overly enthusiastic when it comes to buying you gifts, because he’s just that selfless.
He would rather spend all his time and money on you than on himself.
Words like indulgent and selfless are the best words to describe your husband, as, “Thank you,” would just be too simple to describe your gratitude.
12. Captivating and breathtaking
You can use captivating and breathtaking to describe your husband when you’re remembering your first meeting, especially if you’re talking to your friends about this in front of him.
Tell them how captivated you were by this man and how his actions took your breath away.
These adjectives work best when you’re nostalgically remembering the past but of course, you can still use these words to describe your husband right now.
We sometimes forget when describing a loved one how many amazing words our language has.
13. Inspiring and magnetic
People feel drawn to him because of how much he tends to inspire everyone. His magnetic personality simply attracts you and doesn’t let you leave.
Many people in his life would use these words to describe your husband if they knew what words to use.
Luckily, you have found the right ones so don’t forget to remind him that he’s inspiring and magnetic.
He inspires everyone around him with his beautiful words and motivational speeches. Everyone you know goes to him for advice and it’s obvious why.
14. A blessing
If you and your husband are very religious, calling each other a blessing should be the biggest compliment.
God thought that you two would make the perfect couple and he brought you two together.
Your husband is your blessing. You learned so much from him and he’s your best friend.
You are happy to spend your life with your soulmate. Calling him your blessing will make him putty in your hands.
He’ll feel so grateful to have you next to him.
15. Strong and brave
Let’s not pretend like there’s a man out there who wouldn’t love to hear these words come out of the mouth of his spouse.
A male ego will skyrocket when they hear that they’re strong and brave.
Use these words to describe your husband and see the impact they will have on him. He will feel like he’s on top of the world.
Of course, you shouldn’t make it seem forced. When he helps you do chores together or he helps move something heavy, show your appreciation.
Compliments like this go a long way.
16. Protective and courageous
He knows what’s his and he won’t let anyone touch it. You and your kids (if you have them) are his everything.
Of course, he’ll be protective over you. Some might call it possessive but you know that his intentions are pure.
You know that he doesn’t mean it in a bad way. He just always wants to know that you’re doing all right.
Use these words to describe your husband whenever he feels bad about being overly-protective.
Tell him that you find his concern very courageous and that there is nothing wrong with being protective of the people you love.
17. Humorous and fun
Your husband is always the life of every party. He is invariably able to make everyone around him laugh until they cry.
People are doubled up from all the laughter and you can see that he’s aware of his abilities.
However, no one has ever told him straight up how humorous he actually is and that he’s fun to be around.
Be the first one to tell him how much fun people have around him.
As his wife, use your words to describe your husband and tell him what everyone else thinks of him, which is that he’s the funniest person they know.
18. Highly attractive and muscular
You can use these words to describe your husband when you want to initiate some intimate time with him.
When you’re in the mood, let him know verbally first, without being too vulgar.
Touch his biceps while you’re telling him how muscular he is. Look at him the way a hunter looks at his prey and let him know what you think.
Of course, you can say that he’s highly attractive as well, to help him feel better about himself in other situations.
However, these words work best when initiating physical intimacy.
They will avert his attention to his body and give him a confidence boost.
He’ll know that you appreciate his physique and he’ll give you what you’re asking for.
Every man out there would react the same to being called attractive.
19. Sensitive and emotional
If anything in this world, men run away from being called sensitive and emotional.
Use these words to describe your husband when you feel like he’s holding back his emotions.
You are his wife, so you should have the right to know how he feels. Men think of vulnerability as a weakness, but don’t let him think that.
Always give him a reason to believe that his emotions are valid and that you love him for showing them.
Tell him that whoever taught him that emotions are something bad isn’t someone he needs in his life.
20. Persistent and determined
He continues firmly believing in all the things that are dear to him. He’s persistent with your marriage.
He’s always there and he is always the one to give your family a sense of calm and security.
You know that he won’t leave you because he’s so determined to make you feel loved. He doesn’t give up on something he starts.
You can use these words to describe your husband if you doubt his love, to remind yourself that he will never give up on your love.
He is a persistent and determined man. He will make things work. You don’t have to worry about that.
21. You always make me feel like a real woman
This sentence holds power in itself. When you tell your man that he always makes you feel like a real woman, he will feel like a real man.
Every man wants to feel manly enough to make his woman feel feminine and protected next to him.
Of course, this may have a personal meaning to you. What makes you feel like a woman and how does he come into the equation?
Does that mean that he makes you feel you feel safe when you’re together?
Does that mean that his masculine energy and your feminine energy are more visible when you’re together?
It can mean different things to different people. What does your man do to make you feel like a woman?
22. You are the love of my life
He’s your husband, of course he’s the love of your life. Why would you need to remind him?
Men, just like women, doubt themselves quite often. Did my partner choose wisely?
Do they regret the decision they made? Would someone else love them better?
Instead of letting your partner lose himself in these thoughts, tell him that you chose him for a reason.
Tell your husband that he’s the love of your life and no one else can compare.
Your husband deserves to know that he’s the one and only person on your mind. Don’t let him believe otherwise. Not even for a minute.
23. My life wouldn’t make sense without you
Telling your husband these words is important and something that needs to be said.
Where would you be if it weren’t for your husband? What would you have done without him?
I know that you are a strong and independent woman, so being alone wouldn’t have been an issue.
However, it’s fine to admit that your husband is one of the reasons you’re so happy right now.
Even better than that is telling him that your life wouldn’t make sense without him. You have learned so many things together. You have grown up together.
Don’t forget to use these words to describe your husband and the love you feel for him.
24. I will always stand by your side
These are not really words to describe your husband, but rather words you can use to describe your love for him.
I thought that this would be like the cherry on top.
Telling him that you will always stand by his side gives him a sense of security. The romantic aspect of your relationship will bloom with words like these.
It means a lot when you know that your partner has your back.
You two have come so far, and you will stand together with him for the rest of the ride. You love him so be brave enough to tell him that.
25. Our kids are (going to be) fortunate to have you as their father
Men, just like women, are worried about whether they’re going to be good parents.
You have the full power to reassure your husband that he is or that he will be an amazing father.
Use these words to describe your husband whenever he feels like he has done something his kids (or future kids) wouldn’t be proud of.
Say that those kids would be fortunate to have him as their father.
If he starts self-deprecating, make sure to tell him this.
Conclusion
Using words of affirmation to show your husband your love and support is a great way to do so, especially if he’s very good at using his words with you as well.
Both of you deserve someone who will be appreciative of the work and effort that is put into your marriage.
He is the one you have chosen to love forever, so be careful when you choose words to describe your husband.
If you mention or think about him in a bad light, then why did you marry such a man?
Make sure that he always knows where he stands with you and use your words wisely.
As said at the beginning of this article, your words hold a lot of power.
They can make your marriage absolutely perfect.
