10 Sentences To Say to Your Partner

To have a strong and happy relationship, you need to put in the effort, understanding, and communication. One of the things you can do is choose the right words and intentions with your partner. Here are 10 sentences that you can say to your partner to keep your relationship strong and happy;

• “I appreciate you.”

Appreciation, no matter how small or big, is one of the most important factors in a relationship. Let your partner know that their efforts are seen and appreciated. This can be used to show your partner your appreciation for their cooking, helping around with the chores, or just listening to their woes after a long day.

Appreciating your partner can increase the sense of being valued and respected in a relationship and encourage your partner to keep engaging in positive things.

• “I love you…”

Many people often take these words for granted but know that there is a power behind these words. Just add a reason. Instead of just saying, “I love you” add a reason, “I love you because you make my day brighter.”

It works because in doing so, you say to your partner that you’re paying attention to their qualities and actions. It makes your expression of love even more powerful and genuine.

• “How can I help you?”

No one likes admitting weakness, but sometimes being asked can be the greatest act of support. When you offer your help, you set the stage to show your partner that you’re ready to share their burdens. Whatever it is they are struggling with, you’re here for them.

This seemingly simple question can show empathy and a willingness to walk in the relationship, together. You say that you’re in this together and whatever it is you and your partner will take care of it.

• “I’m sorry”

Apologizing when you’ve made a mistake doesn’t make you weaker or smaller. It’s an important step for keeping a relationship happy and strong. When you own up to your mistakes and express genuine remorse, it can stop resentment from taking root.

Saying sorry shows humility and respect. You can use this sentence to defuse tension and open doors for forgiveness.

• “Thank you…”

“Sorry” and “Thank you” are two sentences that everyone should learn to speak in a relationship. Gratitude also adds to the foundation of a happy relationship. Just express your thanks for the one in your life. Say, “Thank you for cooking breakfast” or “Thank you for being so cool-headed with me.”

This gratitude can foster a sense of positivity and can turn simple actions into meaningful ones. It allows you to express your feelings and your partner to be seen and appreciated for their efforts.

• “How are you, really?”

Even though you live with your partner, there might be times when you hold back on sharing your feelings with them. Asking them how they are feeling can open the door to two-way communication. You get to understand how they are feeling and how you can help them if they need it.

This question helps your partner put a name to their feelings and helps you understand their origins as well. When things are talked about in the open, it makes it easier to cope with difficult feelings.

• “You’re great!”

I am guilty of it. I usually forget to tell the people I love about how great they are. It’s not that I take my relationships for granted, but it’s common to forget to mention a simple compliment. Compliments in a relationship can be rewarding, so use them wisely to keep a relationship strong and happy.

Focus on your partner’s best qualities — kindness, patience, care. Let them know that you see them and understand where their actions come from.

• “I’m proud of you”

Just like you shower your partner with compliments, shower them with pride, too. Celebrate their achievements with them to boost their confidence and show your support for them. It could be a simple goal as getting in their monthly fitness steps, or as big as getting a promotion at work.

Showing pride can help your partner feel confident and also allows you to show that you’re as invested in the relationship and their success as they are.

• “You’re important to me”

I used to take a lot of my relationships for granted, and that cost me some important people and lessons. We do that — sometimes, without even realizing it. We get used to things and people and forget how good they are for us. To keep your relationship happy, tell your partner how important they are to you.

This sentence can help you become aware of your partner’s role in your life and tell your partner that they are important to you.

• “I believe in you”

Just a simple, “I believe in you” can be a great way to show your partner how much you support them as an individual in the relationship. After all, dreams and aspirations are the cornerstone of a happy relationship. Encourage your partner and tell them that you’re there for them.

This sentence can increase their confidence and offer them emotional support. Just knowing that you’re behind them with support can be motivating for your partner.
