Help Your Wife Show You Appreciation
Model desired behavior
People learn appropriate behavior best by observing it in others. As you become better at showing her sincere and thoughtful appreciation for the many things she does for you, she will naturally be inclined to show you more appreciation.
Be deserving of her appreciation
Practice meeting her most important love needs so that she can practice showing you appreciation. Do little things for her to let her know that you are thinking about her. Make her smile. It will be so much easier for her to show you appreciation if she feels it first.
Use positive reinforcement
When you catch her expressing her appreciation, thank her. Give her a smile and a hug. Tell her how much it means to you.
