Well I vented frustration about my husbands bad tv watching habits in another post so to be fair I thought I'd post some of the wonderful things about him too. That is part of marriage right, they have to have something that drives you crazy! (I won't even start on the things that drive him crazy that I do lol) So for starters...he is my best friend! We do everything together. He has good friends but will usually choose to do things with me, which always makes me feel loved  He also always thinks of me first when he makes choices which definitely makes our relationship a strong one because we always look out for each other. He is supportive & caring & makes me laugh. He also puts up with some of my "less than perfect" aspects & is forgiving of my faults.
It is easy to complain, but it is sure nice to reflect on the wonderful things too. What about you ladies? Any nice comments about your "other halves"? |

Yayyy Teresa! Go tell him! He needs to hear. I truly understand the "I wouldn't need permission to buy some of the things I want to buy. Or I could make really healthy stuff for dinner, and not get any complaints." Before I got married, I was "Miss skinny minny" and it had everything to do with how and what I ate(or didn't). After I got married I was cooking "hubby food" to make him happy and not paying attention to what my body was telling me, therefore packing on the pounds. A couple of years ago I started looking in the mirror realizing that what he wants to eat isn't good for either of us and am now trying to add more of "my healthy food" to his meals. All the while, we have butted heads. Now that he is looking in the mirror at himself, he is starting to realize that I may be on to something! LOLOL!

I sometimes think to myself that if I weren't married to my Steve, I could have the life I've always wanted. I wouldn't need permission to buy some of the things I want to buy. Or I could make really healthy stuff for dinner, and not get any complaints. I would travel, stay up all night reading, and perhaps make my entire backyard (and front yard) a veggie garden.
But then he puts his arms around me, and I know that I wouldn't have much of a life without him. He is my rock. He knows me like no one else. You sometimes need the bad to realize how good you have it. I love my dear, dear husband!
Thanks ladies for letting me express how important he really is to me! Now I'm going to go tell him!

Hello Heidi,
Yes! I too have "complaints" about my hubby. Several! Likewise, I have much gratitude for him, as well. I am a horse person, he is not. I'd had a particular horse for years before we started dating and when we got married I was not about to part with her. He wanted to live in the city, but we got land in the country so I could have my horse at home instead of boarding. He then proceeded to build me a small barn and fence in the property. Over the years he has learned to do the "simple" tasks of helping to take care of our "accumulated critters". He "puts up" with my planting and gardening(but he also reaps the reward!), and is now wanting to "add more" to our garden of fruit trees. I love his question, "Well what are you up to now?" , because I am always learning something from a book or taking some kind of class. When something has my spirits down, he wants to know what he can do to make me smile. These are just a few examples on the "wonderful" list. Anyone else have comments?
