The Significance of Words of Affirmation
Chapman outlines how verbal affirmations can significantly impact a relationship by making one’s partner feel appreciated and loved. He stresses the powerful effect of kind and encouraging words: 'Verbal compliments, or words of appreciation, are powerful communicators of love.' Positive affirmations not only uplift the partner but can also motivate them to reciprocate by expressing their love in turn. By consistently acknowledging small acts of kindness, trust and intimacy are strengthened in the relationship.
