No matter whether you have been married for 5 months or 5 years, there are so many ups and downs you go through. The transition from a single woman to fiancee to wife can often be a beautiful whirlwind. However, once the dust settles and ups and downs start, how do you stay encouraged during the downs? While continuing to be strengthened during the ups? Then do so daily no matter what the day brings? This is where daily affirmations for wives come in.
The things we see, listen to, and watch can have a huge effect on what we think, how we feel, and our perspective on things. Both for you as a woman, but also as a wife. Therefore it is so important to make sure the words you are speaking over yourself as a wife encourage, uplift, and remind you of what God says both about you and your marriage.
An easy way to do this is by speaking affirmations over yourself daily. Having affirmations specifically for you as a wife is important for three important reasons.
1) Building a strong marriage requires a strong wife
In the midst of the busyness of life, it is so easy for us as women to put ourselves last. Especially when it comes to marriage. Yet, the well-being of your marriage reflects a lot on your own well-being. So taking the time to build up and speak life into yourself, helps to build up and speak life into your marriage.
A wise woman builds her home, but a foolish woman tears it down with her own hands.
Proverbs 14: 1 (NLT)
Being wise with the words you speak to yourself helps you build you up while you build up your home. A home where your marriage is also built, cared for, and strengthened.
2) Affirmations for wives help to remind you of how invaluable to your marriage you are
As much as I love being a wife and being one with my husband, I can often get lost in the title. I know I am not the only wife who feels that way. As wives, we can get so lost in the care and the needs of our husbands and marriage that we forget to care for ourselves and the value we bring to our marriages.
He who finds a wife finds a good thing,
And obtains favor from the Lord.
Proverbs 18:22 (NKJV)
There is so much goodness and value we bring to our husbands and marriage outside of all the things we do. These are things we often need to be reminded of and speaking daily affirmations for wives is a great way to do so.
3) Remember that your words have power, so choose them wisely
This is a lesson that is so important for us all, not just as wives but also as women and moms. With our words, we can bring comfort and healing. Yet, with our words, we can also cut deep and hurt.
Gracious words are like a honeycomb,
sweetness to the soul and health to the body.
Proverbs 16:24 (ESV)
Finding ways to tame the tongue is something that I have had to work on a lot over the years. I am grateful for all the growth I have made when dealing with my husband and kids. Yet, when it comes to the words I speak over myself or the self-talk that plays in my mind, there has not been as much growth.
It is this need for growth that prompted me to create these 21 Daily Affirmations for wives.
These are the perfect way to daily speak light and light over yourself as a wife. You can tape them to your bathroom mirror, leave them on your nightstand, keep them in your car, or all three.
The beauty and the strength you bring to your marriage is invaluable and it so easy to lose sight of. So having daily reminders like these daily affirmations is a great way to care for yourself as a wife and your marriage.
I’d love to know how you better care for yourself as a wife in the comments!
