Blake Robert Templeton argues that generic compliments kill attraction. Instead, write love letters that name specific things you love about her: her beauty, her heart, what captivates you. Proverbs 16:24 says pleasant words are like honeycomb. She needs to feel seen.
The truth is, her admiration for you and her respect for you, it fades when she stops feeling seen. So a woman who feels invisible will stop expressing her beauty. I know it's crazy to a guy, like, we think she should just reveal her splendor because we're thinking like, you have it, just like, show your flirtatiousness, show your adventure, show your beauty. But it doesn't work that way. So instead of just being the same you, you've gotta be an extreme picture of what we call lover prince, and you've got to actually quit giving these generic compliments and write a love letter to her. Like, literally do an exercise and call out her beauty, call out her heart, call out her uniqueness, call out the things that really rivet your heart. And I'm telling you, Proverbs 16:24 will come to reality. Says pleasant words are honeycomb and sweet to the soul. That is what your wife needs right now.
