My husband he not much of a words person, he more of an 'actions' person.
Some stuff my husband did throughout our whole marriage. It more of actions than words though. And it the little things.
We been together 11 years (married 7 years), and after all those years, he still literally kisses my butt cheek. It has nothing to do with sex at all, it something he does randomly throughout our marriage.
Whenever he see me lay on my stomach play on my tablet, or even if I have a blanket over my butt, or if I have sweatpants on, he would gently slide down my sweatpants and kissed my butt cheek, and slide it back on for me. He technically went out of his ways, lol.
He never like those slap gropes spank stuff or anything kinky (he very vanilla), he said he prefers use his lips. So he just simply put his lips on my butt cheek and gently kiss it, the gentle slow kiss type.
I told him we older now (we 36 and 37 now). But he said it doesn’t have to stop, and if I allow him (to continue kiss my butt cheek) he wants to and will do it till he 80.
And his eyes. Hard to explain it, but it like his eyes, the way he looks at me, it just intense, the same exact eyes and ways he looked at me 11 years ago.
I could just be talking, and he just stare and stare at me, then he gently touches my face with his hand.
Or randomly, he just stare and stare at me, then he hugged and hugged me really tight, and he say he loves me very much.
Something little as if he touches my hands and feel it cold. He immediately open his mouth breathed into my hands, he keeps do that and rubs it till it gets warm. My feet too, he could rubs my feet for half an hour if that what was needed to get my feet warm.
He still carried me on his back all these years together. Like if we went somewhere and the parking lot was far, he carry me on his back across the parking lot to whatever the place. He said if I allow him, he wants to carry me on his back like this till be become an old man, till he on his deathbed that he no longer can carry me anymore. lol
I could be telling him that I want to talk. And we were in the kitchen, he would sit me down on the kitchen chair, and he kneel down on the floor while look at me with those loving eyes and said he listening. Seeing him like this, I don't even know what to do or say.
It the little things. I know Ms. OP ask for nice words your husband say, so I guess doesn't count, since it more actions, than words.
