Easy to think these, harder to say them out loud or remember to say them out loud. Great reminder, Shel!
And I love 92…hysterical.
Good thing I had a second set of eyes on this one, aye? Gotta get things right!
All of these are great! It’s easy to forget to say it out loud sometimes. My husband and I met 5 years ago yesterday. I need to make a pointed effort to say he’s important to me out loud more often. Thanks!
You’re welcome, Holli! The more I write about it and remind others, the more I remember to do it myself!
I’m still laughing about #92 and the related comments.
I bet you could almost hear it said!
I say #89…
Well, I think that covers just about everything, Shel. 🙂 I saw #89 at least once a week.
I had a vision of super heroes flying overhead in your neighborhood until I saw the correction! Actually, both versions are pretty cool, Jill!
Great tips, Shel.
Too many couples miss out on the value of sharing a few words of encouragement, confidence, and appreciation.

Totally agree, rm – thanks for stopping by!
No. 90, that’s the one! I wouldn’t trade you for chocolate!! ha! I love it. These are all great though.
All the chocolate in the world all in one place with total access? I bet it would get old fast!(Unlike our spouses, right?)
These are “GREAT” Shel! 🙂
Thanks, Ash – I bet the “my mother likes you better than me” didn’t apply for you, though!
