Your husband needs to know that you love him, that you miss him, that you think about him and that you appreciate him. Oh, and he needs to know that you find him to be the most attractive, romantic, wonderful, strong and steady person that exists in your life. Do you tell him enough? Does he know how you really feel, or do you sometimes fall into the trap of just assuming he knows you love him?
You probably text your husband at least a few times throughout the day — telling him you paid that bill, that you will be late getting home from work, wishing him good luck on his big presentation or sending him a cute picture of something the kids did. But how often do you send him romantic, flirty texts? If you haven’t told him in a while, try one of these 16 love texts to help boost your husband’s self-esteem, to help him feel appreciated and to strengthen your marriage. Whether your texts are long or short, send them often. He will love getting them, even if he doesn’t admit it. It’s pretty magical how a simple text can start a flirtatious conversation that brings back memories, rekindles the flame and makes you and your husband excited to be together again at the end of the day.
