[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Husbands love your wives  (this means self sacrifice putting her needs and wants above your own)

Wives respect your husbands (yes this means [b]occasional praise[/b] and keeping nagging to a minimum)

For a successful marriage both partners have to be doing these things[/quote]

What kind of praise? Seriously asking. I am not a nagger, but don't know if I'm praising enough or the right stuff.[/quote]

Great job on the non nagging for praise try a variety of things and see how he reacts.  Continue doing the ones that get the best positive reaction.  It goes with words of affirmation see below.

5 love languages

. Words of affirmation – using words to build up the other person. “Thanks for
taking out the garbage.” Not – “It’s about time you took the garbage out. The
flies were going to carry it out for you.”

2. Gifts – a gift says, “He was thinking about me. Look what he got for me.”

3. Acts of Service – Doing something for your spouse that you know they would
like. Cooking a meal, washing dishes, vacuuming floors, are all acts of service.

4. Quality time – by which I mean, giving your spouse your undivided attention.
Taking a walk together or sitting on the couch with the TV off – talking and
listening.

5. Physical touch – holding hands, hugging, kissing, sexual intercourse, are all
expressions of love.

Out of these five, each of you has a primary love language which speaks more
deeply to you than all the others. Discovering each other’s language and speaking
it regularly is the best way to keep love alive in a marriage.[/quote]

Well words of affirmation I'm good. I'm thankful and express it. But it isn't hislove language. Probably i am lacking in the physical touch area, but I'll make it more of a priority. And quality time ... Definitely could up the bar on that. [/quote]
