10 reasons why you should compliment your partner

Sometimes, when you are with the same person every day, you can start to take for granted that they always look good, or that they have done well at something, but we all need that little bit of encouragement that a sincere compliment can provide and it can mean even more when it comes from a person we love.

Don’t let your partner’s efforts and achievements go unnoticed, compliment them today.

Here are ten reasons why that compliment could be so important to them.

1. It will show that you notice what they do

It’s a common joke that husbands don’t even notice when their wife changes her hair, but men aren’t the only ones that are guilty of not noticing things. When did you last compliment your man on his haircut, or the new pair of shoes he bought? Compliments are a way of showing that you are paying attention and that you do care about what your partner does.

2. It reaffirms your attraction to your partner

Compliments are a way of telling your partner that you still find him attractive, so, if he’s lost a few pounds lately, tell him how great his new, slim and trim figure looks. Anyone can get a bit insecure about their looks sometimes, so it never hurts to tell your partner that you still think he‘s hot.

3. It provides motivation

A little compliment, here and there, will inspire your partner to try even harder the next time. If he just toiled and sweated over putting a shelf up for you, tell him what a great job he’s done, and he’ll be more willing to get on with decorating the spare room you’ve been asking him to do for the past year. If he knows that you admire his handiwork, he’s going to want more of those compliments, so he’ll soon be onto the next job for you.

4. It will build self confidence

When you receive compliments at home, it can build your confidence in all aspects of your life. If you tell your partner how smart he looks, just before he sets off for a job interview, he’s going to stride into that interview room brimming with confidence and he’ll make a much bigger impression. When he knows that someone he cares about thinks that he’s great, other people’s opinions won’t matter so much to him, so he’ll feel a lot stronger and more confident of his own abilities.

5. It makes the relationship a more positive one

A Relationship that is filled with mutual compliments will be a far more positive relationship than one filled with constant criticism. There will always be disagreements and differences of opinion, but when they are set off by compliments, those difficult times won’t seem to be as important as they might have done. Acknowledging what is good about your partner and commenting on it will create a positive feeling about the relationship.
