When a couple is just beginning their lives, they both see the world through rose-colored glasses.

Everything is new and happy, when one looks at the other they see a perfect person, even the world around you seems brighter and happier than it was before you found each other.

At that point in a relationship, it's easy for one of you to say loving things to the other, these sweet words come naturally when you're together, and then via text or phone at all hours of the day and night when you're apart.

But over time, things begin to change, challenges occur and flaws appear, the pink glasses finish their role and reality begins to impose itself, this is the time when love begins to recede a little.

In this longer phase of your relationship, saying friendly and loving phrases takes a lot of effort, so deliberately keeping a few basic phrases keeps the love alive.

Verywellmind offers a few things to say to your husband to keep your relationship glowing.

"If you've transitioned out of a rosy relationship and want to nurture a deeper, more mature love, the best thing you can do is practice saying as much as possible a few of these little phrases," says psychotherapist Marni Feuerman.

 Looks great

As you get older, compliments can mean a lot, especially since wrinkles and weight gain over the years.

If a husband can tell his wife, "You look great", what he will actually understand is that he is still attracted to you and you will be sure that he still enjoys your outer and inner beauty.

I thank you

After a married couple has lived together for a while, they naturally take each other for granted, and the other person is expected to do their part without being asked.

So "thank you" is the simplest word to say, and it's also the most important.

When you say it, what you're actually saying is "I appreciate all that you do for me";

Your husband will be glad you noticed.

I think you are cool

When we choose to be with someone for many years, we sometimes think that the other person must magically know what we think and what we think, but you must express your feelings and thoughts out loud;

Tell your husband, "I think you're great," and what you're really saying is, "You're a good person, and I love being with you."

I love you anyway

When your husband makes a mistake, it may be difficult for you, but what you say at that moment will have a lasting effect on your relationship with him.

When you say "I love you anyway" what you really mean is "No matter what's wrong, I will always love you."

Even as we're adults and get older year after year, we need to hear the words that we're loved, even though we sometimes make poor choices or make mistakes.

When you say "we'll get over it" you mean "we're a team, and I'm with you no matter what."

I'm trying to understand your point

I understand you

When the love matures between the spouses, they get to know each other realistically from the inside and outside, and due to the long time of living together, each of them is able to know what the other party feels even without speaking.

So maybe when you tell your husband, "I understand your feelings now", it helps him feel better.

Having someone understand you without needing to explain is invaluable, and having that connection is essential to love and long-term marriage.

Try asking your husband, "What can I do for you?", or "How can I help you?"

Which suggests your desire to support him and reduce his burdens.

"I love you" is a very simple word, but it is often overlooked.

It is better not to let a day go by without saying such loving things to your husband.
