5 Things I Want My Wife to Know About Her Body

9/17/2015

As a husband, I know my wife faces a lot of pressure when it comes to appearance. Those pressures are real, and they come from just above everywhere. Regardless of all the voices out there spreading innumerable false messages, here are 5 things I want my wife to know about her body.
As a husband, I know my wife faces a lot of pressure when it comes to appearance. Those pressures are real, and they come from just above everywhere. Regardless of all the voices out there spreading innumerable false messages, here are 5 things I want my wife to know about her body. 

1) I think you're absolutely gorgeous.

There's no need for me to beat around the bush here - I think you are stunningly beautiful! Seriously! I hope you never forget that. I'm very much attracted to you and want to be with you forever! Yes, we have chemistry!

I may not always say what I'm thinking (I am a man after all!), but I'm constantly telling myself how amazing you look and how lucky I am to be your husband. Sometimes, when you see me do a double take, or sneak a peek, you might think I'm measuring you against some unrealistic standard - but that couldn't be further from the truth. The truth is, I just can't get enough of you!  You're that good looking!

2) I love you for you.

I appreciate all that you do to take care of yourself and look your best. It's one of the many little ways I know you love me - and it totally turns me on. I love our date nights out on the town and feel so lucky and proud having you at my side. 


But there's one important thing I want you to know - I love you just the way you are! In today's world, it's become less than shocking to see women revealing every curve and bit of skin possible. Unfortunately, marketing images are often digitally altered - creating an even more unrealistic image of beauty. It's everywhere - magazines, billboards, television, online ads, etc. 

You are constantly bombarded by pressure to look a certain way and to "measure up." I know you feel it. I see you staring at yourself in the mirror, agonizing over a pound gained or a wrinkle found. I know I can't entirely solve this problem for you, but let me at least try to put your mind at ease - I love you just the way you are! You don't have to conform to someone else's standard of beauty to earn my love - you already have it! I love you for you.

3) I love you because you are mine, and I am yours.

Remember the day we were married? Remember how we gave ourselves to each other and promised to stay true to each other? That's promise really means everything to me and I fully intend on keeping it!

I love you because you gave yourself to me and trusted me to be the one to hold and cherish you throughout our lives! You are hands down the most wonderful gift I've ever received! I'm the one lucky person you've chosen to share everything with - and that's a gift I will always treasure. Because you are mine, and I am yours, we are stronger together and get to share everything together. 

4) Your smile is where it all started.

We've been married for a while now, and I love holding you in my arms and being intimate with you! But I want to remind you that long before I saw all of you, I saw your smile from across the room - and that's what sparked the attraction. Certainly, that attraction has grown over time, but it all started with that beautiful smile and those sparkling eyes. 

Your smile is simply contagious! It lights up a room - just like you light up my life. If I've had a bad day, nothing can pick me up quite like your smile and the sound of your laugh. Your optimism and fun-loving personality are energizing and super attractive! You don't have to wear the latest trends and sport the newest looks to grab my attention - all you have to do is smile!

5) You're beauty comes from who you are. 

As stunning as you are on the outside, you're just as beautiful on the inside! Your personality, charisma, kindness, intellect, and character are just as attractive to me as your physical attributes. True beauty shines from the inside out. Always remember that.

I feel so blessed that I get to grow old with you! Everyone ages, and with that comes physical changes and potential challenges. While our bodies might not always be as physically fit, toned, or tough as they once were, our love will only grow stronger with time!

Nice thoughts and true for some but certainly not universal for husbands or wives.

You're right, Martha. Others might feel love in different ways other than verbal affirmation. I'm curious to know... If these don't work for you/whoever you're talking about, then what does? Thanks!

Something every wife should here:) If not with words, than with actions.

We agree, Samantha! You make a really good point - and actions speak louder than words.

Hi, did you know there are spells to win love back from an ex. I have done it. I love reading about relationships and how to make them work, how to better the relationship, and how to keep the spark alive, even how to talk to them a certain way to get them to think a different way about the situation and you. If you need advice or want to win your ex back, try this: emutemple@gmail.com copy and message on the following ( emutemple@gmail.com ) It will change your mentality and get you what you want.
