Sometimes for a newly married couple it may be challenging to simply tell a new wife she is beautiful. The Saudi couple are generally still getting to know one another and may walk around each other like they are walking on seashells. However it goes without saying that all women do appreciate and like to hear that they are beautiful.
Telling a woman she is beautiful does not always have to take place with the specific ways “YOU are beautiful.” There are other ways which are equally effective in bringing a smile and special glow to her cheeks.
I was provided a link to an article on different ways a woman may be told she is beautiful and believe it is worth sharing.
What other ways do American Bedu readers have of telling a woman she is beautiful or that a husband is very special?

This has nothing to do with the topic, but I wanted to share this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qQhls5PEmeQ&feature=youtube_gdata_player
Okay, that is pretty funny and cute!
On the subject at hand I will say that my husband does not give me cards for special occasions such as anniversaries or birthdays but writes me a letter instead. It is so sweet. He also compliments me often.
When I was in KSA I heard the nicest expression from some family members. Whenever I would give a compliment to one of the women about their dress, hair or even if some object they had their response would be ‘your eyes are beautiful’! I think that is such a neat thing to say in reply to a compliment!
I do think that men and women can tell each other they are beautiful at any time. Stop what you are doing and look hard at the person for a few seconds and then say ‘you REALLY are beautiful or handsome or (fill in the word)! It’s so important to compliment when something nice is done for you even if it’s just bringing a cup of coffee or doing the laundry. My husband is very, very good at that kind of thing. Whoever taught him to do that was surely a winner!
It makes my day when F takes me to lunch at the cafeteria
he swings by some days if we’ve packed lunch and takes my box , points to the cafeteria and is gone, basically i have to meet him there where he has a nicely warmed up boxed lunch or crappy cafeteria food waiting for me 
I also love my foot massages and shoulder rubs .. ahhh .
for some reason he’s no too big on cards though..
Okie homestay! LOL! That was very funny! They should have run it all over America!
I tell my husband all the time he is gorgeous, funny, intelligent and adorable.
What else can I say?
I could comment on the shoes left in the middle of the bathroom or closet for me to break my neck over, and I have, but that never had any effect.
My husband and I complimented each other every day and I’m so glad we did since our time was so short. We would give each other cards. I would also place notes in his suit or thobe pockets for him to find! Gosh how much I miss him still.
dont arabs give camels as gifts to their wives to show their love
AB missed her camles, she dint receive any it seems
I like to compliment strangers as they tend not to expect it and as you will never see them again they can not suspect you of alternative motives. In inner city Denver I was walking behind a large black man who’s legs could have been carved by Michaelangelo. He looked both startled and delighted when I told him that he had beautiful legs.
I’m not married so most comments on my looks come from my mother. My very young nephew did tell me I was his favorite smelling relative (I don’t wear perfume). I’ll take any compliments I can get.
@Wendy – ‘their response would be ‘your eyes are beautiful’! I think that is such a neat thing to say in reply to a compliment!’
I think that is a very nice thing to say. I bet that goes over WAY better than my ‘Yes. I know’
just kidding…but that IS a nice expression.
I like to tell mine that “His smile is my sunshine” when he is so happy and joyous his face glows. It warms me up- just like sunlight on a cold day.
And of course, when I tell him that, he smiles even more brightly and it just takes my breath away.
We talk to each other each day, ask each other how our day went- and listen to the response the other person gives. You’d be surprised how many people don’t always take the time to actually listen and pay attention to what the other person wants and needs. This is a good compliment of sorts because you are showing that you care about the other person and what they do.
I tell my significant other how he is my gift from God because I believe that. He is so good for me, and I feel blessed to have him in my life.
