This love language entails giving constant verbal appreciation and uplifting your spouse with kind words daily. If your spouse's love language is Words of Affirmation they are an individual where your words of encouragement and praise go far. You do not just tell them they look nice, or thank them for the great dinner. You help them realize their potential and through your words of encouragement you help them achieve all they can become. Do not put down your spouse, they can do that enough on their own, you are their spouse, their champion and they need words from you that constantly lift them to higher grounds. Words of Affirmation is seeing all they do, believing in all they can become and loving them with words that help them to know they are amazing. If it helps, keep a journal of things you notice and praise them on them. Think of something kind they did, or a little extra gesture they did to help out and let them know you appreciate it. I had an individual who I knew was struggling with self-esteem and just needed her husband to help pick her up, but words of affirmation came very difficult for him when he does not feel they are sincere. But as I always say, if you start looking for the good things, you will see the good things and have great things to say about your spouse. That spouse needed to remember why he married her and let her know what he loved about her then and now, she just needed to her from her spouse that he thought she was still beautiful and amazing. So if your spouse thrives off of words of encouragement don't let your uncertainty hold you back, look for the good, see the good, say the good.
P.S. On a side note, if I do not post for some reason on any day (except Sunday, that is my one day off) I am sorry, I try to be very consistant, but my internet has been extremely tempermental ever since we have moved, so sorry for any problems.
