[quote=Anonymous]Repeat and repeat, and tell her she needs to tell herself this until it's automatic:

I love you. I love your body and how you look and feel. I love how womanly you are. Your body has given us children, which is amazing, and makes it that much more beautiful. We would all like to look 20 forever, but we will grow old and wrinkly together. You will always be beautiful to me, because I see you with love's eyes. Every time I look at you and feel you, I have thousands of memories of our pleasures and happiness together. Please love and enjoy yourself as you are. The more you accept yourself, the sexier you are, and the more we can enjoy each other.

This is corny, but it's the way women should see themselves, and know their partner sees them. It's insanely hard on a woman, going through the changes of childbirth, and then menopause and aging. The stuff above is what I learned to tell myself, and what my husband says to me (in his abbreviated, masculine way). Your wife needs to internalize this for herself.[/quote]
