Words of Affirmation: Express real, honest gratitude and appreciation for the things he does.
I have to say that one of the biggest things that pushes me away from my W is that she rarely expresses appreciation for all that I do around the house. I really do help out around the house on a daily basis and have done some serious remodeling projects that we could not have afforded to pay someone for and she almost never expresses appreciation. Words of affirmation go so far to make a man feel happy and needed!
