When a woman truly loves her husband, she wants to paint him as the best person she can. The adjectives she uses to describe him are true to her. She loves him so much that she sees the good in him reflected daily. She’ll say these sweet words about him to show just how much she cares about him.
You can tell a woman truly loves her husband if she uses these 11 adjectives to describe him
1. Loyal

A loyal person is special. They make for great partners. Not only are they trustworthy, but they are also willing to do anything for their partner. Wives who truly love their husbands will describe them as loyal because they are there for them unconditionally. Through thick and thin, they can rely on one another for everything.
Love and loyalty may look different from what some people picture. When we think of loyalty, we imagine someone who stays faithful. Of course, that is part of it. But a loyal husband might do other things, like try out hobbies their wife loves or make her coffee every morning before work. From the little things to the big, women who call their husbands loyal truly love them.
2. Caring

A caring husband shows up for his wife every day. He provides a listening ear when she needs it. A wife who truly loves her husband will notice how caring they are through every aspect of their lives. He does simple gestures for her every day that go a long way. He works hard to provide the best examples of love and care to his wife, and she never takes that hard work for granted.
There are examples of caring behavior that you may not think about. Maybe he reads that book you love so he can talk to you about it, or he sits through hours of silly reality TV shows because it makes you happy. These little gestures will gain husbands the title of caring, and she will be sure to tell everyone she knows about him.
3. Respectful

Respect goes a long way in a relationship. A husband who is described as respectful never raises his voice with his wife. He never goes behind her back to do things that would upset her. Building respect in a relationship is important. It’s a sound foundation that means valuing one another.
When a woman truly loves her husband, she’s always happy to brag about how respectful he is. Her friends and family already know that he is respectful because he shows them that side of himself. However, she will never miss a chance to give him credit for how respectful he is.
4. Compassionate

Men can struggle with showing compassion, even to the people most important to them. Society has ingrained the idea that ‘true men’ never show their emotions. Sensitivity is frowned upon. Showing compassion makes them look weak. While we know this is far from true, it still impacts their ability to show up with compassion in a marriage.
When a woman has a husband who isn’t afraid to be compassionate, she will be proud of his kind heart. She will use this adjective to describe him. It’s special to have a husband who can show their kind and loving side without fear.
5. Intelligent

What’s a better compliment than being called intelligent? I know when someone uses that adjective to describe me, it makes me feel good. It boosts my confidence and gives me motivation to go into a situation and perform my best. A wife who truly loves her husband will always talk about how smart he is. It’s something she is so proud of him for.
Intelligent partners are not only smart on paper, but they also approach their relationship with emotional awareness. “Intelligent partners display cognitive flexibility, which is the ability to draw out multiple interpretations of any situation before reacting to it,” says Mark Travers, Ph.D., for Psychology Today. “This flexibility prevents the mind from spiraling into blame or self-criticism and makes room for a more grounded understanding of the circumstances.”
6. Thoughtful

Being a thoughtful partner goes a long way. It’s easy to get caught up in the hustle and bustle of life. Balancing a career, a family, and a marriage can feel impossible at times. When a woman truly loves her husband, she will notice all of those thoughtful moments. The times he took the kids to school when she had a big meeting to prepare for, or when she came home late from work and discovered he had already made dinner. These sweet and caring gestures will definitely have her describe her husband as thoughtful.
Using this adjective shows how much she loves her husband. She’s happy to share all of the little moments he provides. She knows she is lucky, and she doesn’t take her thoughtful partner for granted.
7. Strong

A good husband brings emotional strength to a relationship, not only physical. Of course, a wife who truly loves her husband is happy to celebrate his physical abilities, but more importantly, she wants to bring attention to his resilience. Marriages take work. Life gets difficult. When her husband is emotionally resilient and continues to push through his struggles to maintain their marriage, she will use "strong" as an adjective to describe him.
“Emotionally strong people manage the stresses of daily life more effectively and recover more quickly from challenges and crises when they arise,” says Guy Winch, Ph.D., for Psychology Today. When a woman truly loves her husband, she will always give him credit for his strength and resilience.
8. Honest

Honesty in a marriage is needed for it to be successful. Showing up and being radically honest with a partner is not an easy task. Honesty does not always mean telling the truth, though of course that is a major part of it. The adjective also means staying true to yourself and showing up in a way that is honest to your personality. Reliability in a relationship means everything to a woman who truly loves her husband.
Honesty can be used as an excuse to be cruel. Some men will use the phrase, ‘I’m just being honest,’ when saying something that hurts their wife’s feelings. However, when a woman describes her husband as honest, she knows that he will tell her how he truly feels without hurting her feelings.
9. Empathetic

Empathy is a powerful tool not only in a relationship but in life. I am lucky to have an empathetic partner who is capable of putting himself in other people’s shoes. He is kind and thoughtful, always looking out for what is best for people. Whether it’s a stranger or a close friend, he extends empathy to everyone he knows.
When a woman truly loves her husband, she will be sure to describe him as empathetic. She views him as a special individual who has “Empathy is a crucial human skill that can positively impact our relationships, well-being, and ability to connect with others. By taking the time to develop your empathy, you can make a difference in your life and the lives of others,” says Kendra Cherry, MSEd for Verywell Mind. When a woman truly loves her empathetic husband, she shows it by describing him as such.
10. Dedicated

A husband who is dedicated to his family is special. He will do anything he can to support them, whether it’s working overtime or taking a promotion that may put more responsibility on his plate. When a woman truly loves her husband and notices this trait, she will describe him as such to everyone she knows. She is proud of the effort he gives her.
A study from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign shows that one of the most powerful phrases in a relationship is ‘thank you.’ A loving wife constantly tells her husband how much she appreciates his dedication to the relationship. She’ll brag about how wonderful he is. In return, it will make him feel appreciated.
11. Funny

I don’t know about you, but I need to have a partner I am comfortable sharing a laugh with. A good sense of humor is high on my checklist for a good relationship. When a woman truly loves her husband, she likely finds him to be hilarious. Even if he is not recognizably funny to others, she loves him so much that his sense of humor works perfectly with hers. She’s happy to use funny as an adjective to describe him.
One study found that women find a sense of humor to be more important in a relationship than men do. When a woman has found her perfect match, she will always brag about how funny he is to everyone in her life. If she values this trait, she’ll be happy to use the adjective to describe the person she loves most.
