You Can NEVER GET ENOUGH COMPLIMENTS

Remember what comedian Chris Rock said? Something like:

Listen up Men!

 Women need just three things [to survive]. 

Food. Water. and COMPLIMENTS... 

(and the occasional pair of shoes).

Laugh. But it is so true.

I recently discovered that my love language is "words of affirmation". That means I love nothing more than a simple unadulterated compliment.

Hubby makes an effort to dazzle me with sweet nothings; however, I can be a bit of a picky compliment receiver.

Hubby: Girl, your butt has got to be jelly, cause jam don't shake like that.
Me: Annnnnnnhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh (buzzer noise)
Hubby: I'd drink your bathwater.
Me: Ew...No. Try harder.

When he gets it right, though, it's beautiful.  Like today. In the car. On my way home. From a long, tiring day.  My phone buzzes. I glance down to look at it and lighting up my screen are these three perfect, fantastic, amazing words: I LOVE YOU.
