My wife has suffered from a period of depression. Thanks to good medical and spiritual care, she is doing much better. She worked hard and overcame this. I want to tell her how proud I am of her and that I truly love her. Any ideas?

I think you already show her you love her by being there for her all along her depression.
Keep being there, being attentive to her needs.
Tell her but also show her how much you love her and appreciate her. Women like little attentions... coffee and breakfast in bed, flowers, helping out in the house.
I am glad for you, your wife feels better. Good luck!

Don't just tell her, show her. Lots of hugs and praise. Do some special little things for her that you normally don't do. Surprise her, give her a good massage, then light the bathroom with lots of candles and make her a real nice bath. Let her just soak and relax for as long as she likes. Bring her a glass of wine. Have dinner already prepared and serve her when she gets done with her bath. Help her out with all the stuff she has to do, let her ease back into her normal routine. Pick her a flower. Call her for no reason. Show her a lot of affection, but no grooping or she will think that you are just doing all of it for sex. Believe me, if you think of even one kind thing to do for her a day, everything else will fall into place. She will love, appreciate, and want you more than ever. Good luck.

no matter what you do, the one thing that really makes a wife feels wanted and loved is when you stand by her, when you are supportive and make she feels important. Your attitudes will speak more than your words. Words are necessary, but TO BE COHERENT is the most important. It is for NOTHING if you say I LOVE YOU but you act as you don't to. The fact that you posted your question is a sign that you truly care for her. I wish I had a husband like you. But unfortunatelly I had to leave mine because he was never supportive. Every time I needed him to take my side, he would take somebody's else. DO WHAT YOU PREACH. And I am sure she will know how much love you have in store for her in your heart. Good luck!

Dear dartheric11
I really admire your courage, and you passionate for your wife which can clearly tell how much you love her, and am sure if she uses yahoo answers too and saw this Q from you directly she will feel how much u care and love her. any way some times you can just tell her, some times write a note with a red rose on her mirror, and the ideas will never stop, coz i can say "the sky is your limit"in this issue.. God bless you and bless your family too

I think a nice thing to do would be to get her a card and write a special message similar to what you have written above. I think that would mean more than buying some trivial or flashy gift. If you really want to give her something, maybe something that is eternal, like naming a star after her, or buying a donation brick or plaque with her name on it at an animal shelter or something like that.

Tell her you would like to renew your vows. Sit down with her discuss it, look at dates, or even a year away, it will give her comfort to know you love her just as much as when you first married her, and will always be there at her side.
You can even have a friend deputized for a few days to perform the ceremony, have it in your back yard, a park, or a favorite place!It doesn't have to cost much, and you can keep it simple.

i think of in case you may desire to get her to be certain a doctor it would clean up one element that hits me interior the face on your placed up. "melancholy". She does not sound to me, and neither is she performing as though she now not loves you. i've got faith this female "might" be distressed or depressed and desires professional help. She additionally seems to be like completely at a loss for words, and melancholy could have that effect on everybody. Please, save loving her as you're; do not push issues on her, in simple terms tutor her love emotionally. The little issues you do, even without reward, with a bit of luck will upload as much as a minimum of one vast element long term. She desires the affection, and that i've got faith some help and suggestion. You sound like a perfectly loving husband, and that i choose you the two the terrific.

Depression really is hard to deal with... especialy first thing in the morning.
You could treat her to nice, special breakfasts in bed sometimes.
Breakfast not only gets you started better (in the physical sense of the word), but the special love-treatment could get her started better, also.

In every moment, of every day, strive to make her happy, never attack her self esteem and treat her with complete respect. Do little things everyday to show her you are thinking of her. It might be as simple as making sure she has a fresh towel hanging in the bathroom after she gets out of the shower or as obvious as sending flowers for no reason. Never stop trying to win her heart, even when you are sure you already have it.

Don't promise her the moon and the stars. Just do for her the little things: wash the dishes, prepare breakfast, do the laundry. Those are the signs of true love.
