My husband is just the tops. He’s a patient listener, he’s patient with my off-the-wall emotions, he tells me I’m important, and when it comes to supporting our family and doing good work, you just can’t stop him. This man has integrity enough for the whole world and does what’s right. He’s conveniently tall (can’t lose him in a crowd), and terribly dashing in a sweater vest and bow tie with a smirk that could melt butter. Oh, and he’s crazy about our boys and a fantastic dad.
You know what’s fun? Delighting in your spouse. Sure we all know our husbands/wives well enough to rattle off flaws and fester resentment, but that’s so…mainstream. Anybody could do that and people do all. too. often. Our spouses have faults aplenty, but that’s not why we married them, right? We made lifelong vows to them because of that spark. Something about them flipped the switch and made us stark-raving mad for them. Isn’t it time we shout it from the rooftops?
So go ahead – let it out! Tell me all about why your sweetie is the best there is. Take all the space and time you want and let yourself blush out of pure love. A sweet story or litany of irresistible, unforgettable qualities. Post in the combox, on my Facebook page, on Twitter (#tcwlovemyspouse), anywhere you want on the ONE condition that you tell your husband, too. Send a quick email, text, or make his day by calling at work or stopping in for the express purpose of telling him how great he is. I don’t know about you, but that would just make my heart soar!
RESPECT LIFE has to start in the family. And is starts in the family when it starts in the marriage. Respect your spouse by relishing in the good and relinquishing the bad.
What a great idea for a post! Here’s mine: http://wp.me/p3Q3qg-1n
I LOVE this – I hope your husband gets to see it!!
My husband of nearly twenty years always tells others, in response to the question of how to have a good marriage, is to be the kind of person that your spouse wants to be married to. He is kind, funny, and my best friend. Even in our disagreements, we have never ever called each other names, and we have never aired our grievances with each other to our family/friends or acquaintances. I love being married to him!
YES! I love being married to my husband, too. Marriage is tough, but God sure made it happy.
My beloved loves God, is funny, intelligent, considerate, makes delicious omelets, fluffy tea biscuits, loves little babies, is an involved/hands-on father, thoughtful husband, and gosh is he ever handsome! 🙂
A handsome chef?? What a blessing! Do you ever sing “Hey Good Lookin’, whatchya got cookin’?” I’m sure I do 🙂
My husband is tender, kind, patient (never loses his temper even when I’m going crazy at him or about something), and the most loyal soul ever. He’s a faithful provider, a sweet daddy, and even a good cook!
Every morning I wake up to the sweet smell of fresh cologne, whiskers tickling my cheek, and three soft whispering words, I Love you. It truly is wonderful. It doesn’t matter what argument we may have had the day before, or how late he is running for work, I can always look forward to this. Matthew is a loving husband, and an amazing daddy. He is one of the hardest working people I know, and he never ever complains about it. He does his best in all things: faith, family, and career. I am truly blessed.
My husband is so uplifting and always reminds me to trust in God. He is so loving and kind and can always make me laugh. He goes out of his way to care for others and help out in any way he can and never lets a day go by without telling and showing me he loves me. So blessed God brought us together!
My husband: he has the biggest heart I know. He is sweet, tender, detail oriented and romantic, he is a loving guy. Yet he is rational, balanced, intelligent, confident, fun and strong. He protects his family with his life and soul and he loves our daughters with a beautiful silly, playful, sweet love. He serves this country and its people passionately. He has the discernment to see the good in all people and he looks to share the love he found in Christ with them. He thinks and acts with integrity and God in his Heart. And all of him came wrapped in a very good looking package sent straight from heaven to me. I am so blessed and thankful to be united to him in God’s love, to be one with Him for the rest of my life. I love you Heber.
I love this!
My husband really steps up to the plate with our two-year-old and newborn. He never complains when I wake him up at 5am at my wits end with the baby who won’t go back to sleep. Instead he takes her from me, pats my back, then pats her back and tells us both it’s going to be ok.
I really couldn’t have married a better person or friend. Thank God for putting us in each others’ life paths!
