    There is so much to love about my husband that I sometimes take it for granted, even though I don't mean to.

    I love that he is intelligent. I love that he came from humble beginnings and reached for the moon. I love that he encourages our daughters to be strong, independent, and well-spoken. I love that he pushes me to work harder and never give up. I love that he holds my hand when we walk on the beach together. I love that he holds my hand on date nights. I love that he holds my hand at the grocery store. I love that he holds my hand when we're sitting on the sofa watching television.

    I love that he never makes excuses for his actions. I love that he dusts himself off when things get to him. I love that he sees me as an intellectual equal and discusses everything with me without feeling the need to explain every little detail or thinking I won't understand.

    I love that his biggest role model was his strong and vibrant aunt who lived life by her own rules and brought so much joy to him.

    I love that when I was sick, he made me feel beautiful. I love that he doesn't even see my scars.

    And I love his sense of purpose and strong moral compass.

    I could go on, but now I'm crying.

    As poetic as that may be, I am still convinced that I love suns more than you!

    This is the SWEETEST thing I've read in a long time and I am also crying! This is what TRUE LOVE is all about! :heart:

    He would/will do anything I ask for, even when it annoys him.
    He goes to work at 3am AND goes to school during the day to better our future as a family.
    He lets me be myself.
    He smells good.
    His blonde hair and red beard. :love:

    What THINGS? His, uh, thing, and the stuff below it.

    I also love these traits:
    He is incredibly funny
    He is strong, physically and mentally
    He is smart
    He is responsible and reliable
    He is even tempered and reasonable
    He is affectionate and loving
    He is kind
    He is super sexy
    He treats me with respect
    He loves my son
    He is mine

    Also, it's his birthday today so he deserves extra recognition.

    Ah, all the things I could list that I love about my man.
    How sexy he is, how he lays the pipe, how he's an amazing cook, how I never have to work because he's so stinkin rich.
    There's the issue of him not existing, but that's minor hufflepuff.

    What I love most:

    In times of great strife he turns to me for support (and i give it).

    He indulges my fancies and lets me return the favor.

    That he is human and knows I am too.

    That he helps make my world/life better than it would be without him

    He will get up on a step-ladder to "remove" an unwelcome spider from the ceiling for me.
    He brings home carry-out or takes me out for a meal when I don't feel like cooking.
    He does all the really tricky quests for me on my WoW characters.
    He considers my feelings almost all of the time.
    He eats my cooking and says he likes it.
    He tells me things will be okay when I am worried they won't, then he helps make that happen.
    He gives me freedom to be who I am and supports me in my endeavors.

  • How do I love him? Let me count the ways *thinking of Roger Rabbit jumping on the bed* :love: :

    1. *tongue in cheek* He married me for my money…but the joke was on him! :laugh: All he got was me and my debt!!! We laugh about this even still since that is what my ex accused him of doing. It’s quite comical. And despite this, he still married me, not once, but TWICE in the same month! (long story!) :heart:
    2. More seriously though and not in any particular order… I love that my husband loves me, and I worry that he loves me “too much.”
    3. …That no matter what, he would do anything to protect me, ergo, loving me “too much.”
    4. …That he loves that I want to be able to defend myself and encourage improving my self-defense skill sets (target practice, archery, knife throwing, etc)
    5. …That he does his own laundry and even helps out doing the linens without my asking
    6. …That he never pushes me to have dinner ready, and insists he can fend for himself if need me (and never hold it against me).
    7. … That he is never “too busy” for me. If I need him, he’s there. No questions asked.
    8. … That he is a complete mush for our dog, Starbuck. (A man that knows how to love a dog is a keeper!)
    9. … That he has a moral compass and that it is unwavering: we pray together, minister together and resolve problems together.
    10. … That whatever I endeavor to do, he supports it 110%. He always positively comments on my progress to become healthier and encourages me when I’m not “feeling (like) it”.
    11. … that whenever I am cold, he warms me up. Blankets, cuddling, starting a fire in the wood stove… and, if necessary at the expense of his comfort level (I’m always cold, he’s always hot).
    12. … That he sings to me… daily. He dotes on me… daily. He values my opinion on his ministry work… daily.
    13. … That we can laugh at each other and together.
    14. … that he still chose me anyway, knowing I was all done having more kids which meant he would never be a father (biologically) and he’s never held his decision against me.
    15. … There’s more, but I cannot go on since I am at work. He’s a lovely distraction though and I’m grateful for him, more than words can say. :heart:

    His "Stanley"
    He would be willing to kill for me
    He puts up with my crap (although I put up with more of his)
    He does love me, even if he is unable to be "romantic"
  • Well since apparently the men here can't act like adults and are being childish and embarrassed, I will contribute for a little redemption. Since you know, we men can't show emotion. (come on guys, seriously?)

    I love my wife, we've been together for 5 years, she is my rock.

    Beautiful, Smart, Supportive, Complimentive, Funny, Young-Minded, Driven, Motivated, Inspirational, Unique and interesting.

    Not a day goes by that I don't spend time with her, we have spent 2 nights apart since 2 weeks after we met and moved in together.

    My wife defines me and who I am today, without her I'd be unfit, unmotivated and nowhere near as successful as I am today.

    My husband is my best friend. He supports me and encourages me - in this and in everything else!

    I lost my job in Feb, and then was working p/t an hour's drive away in a horrible job with virtually no money for a few months, and then that all went horribly wrong, so I walked out. He held me when I cried, reassured me when I was scared, and made it safe for me to leave.
    He's picked me up when I've crashed more than once.
    He's supporting me financially while I try to find something else and try to build up some freelance work, he's optimistic and positive, he helps me with all sorts.
    He makes me know he finds me sexy and attractive :blushing: which I struggle to believe and accept. He puts up with the fact that I struggle to believe and accept it as well!
    He believes in me and loves me.
    He's not threatened by my insane and rather disturbing adoration for my gorgeous cats.
    He's not perfect and gets it wrong and winds me up and lets me down - but only enough to keep it interesting.

    Keith - here's to you :heart: :drinker:

    I love my husband for being brave, fighting for his country, and in 2009 while in Iraq, he kept me strong, he went out of his way to make sure I was ok and the kids were ok. Never dwelling on where he was or what he was going through. Protecting me from what was really going down.

    He always puts the kids and I first, sacrificing his own needs/wants for ours. His eyes always have me in them. I love that no matter when a beautiful woman walks by, his focus is on me. I love that he still gropes and fondles me as if we're newlyweds, even after being together 14 yrs. And most of all I love that he loves me and only me.

    I love that he lets me be my crazy, silly, goofy self without judging me. At times he even encourages it. Plus he has this amazing way of looking at me, that makes me melt. Just once glance and I can see that he loves me unconditionally. He also has these amazing arms that give the best hugs!
  • Thank god you showed up.

    The sarcasm is unnecessary; the stupid "male" persona that people obsess over gets really old. Every single male that posted in here posted in an idiotic and childish way and I just have a hard time comprehending why it's SO hard to publicly appreciate what you have and be open about it.

    I promise your genitals won't fall off and you won't just magically not be "a man"

    * He is a great father
    * He is a very hard worker
    * He is willing to do anything I ask, even if he moans about it, he will do it regardless
    * He helps out with housework, when he has the time. He has even gotten up an hour before he had to go to work to clean the kitchen, because I had been having to take care of our sick daughter and hadn't had the time to clean it.
    * Even though he has no romantic bone in his body, he tries from time to time to surprise me.
    * He cleans my car, if he didn't, it most likely wouldn't get done.
    * He has the same sense of humor as me
    * He can fix, make, and do about anything to our house, cars, and all the other things in our house.
    * He tries his best to cheer me up if I am having a bad day or in a mood.
    * He puts up with me. I ain't the easiest person to get along with. I admit I am strong willed and stubborn.

    He has been there for me and done things for me that no other person would or could. He truly is the most loyal person I have ever had in my life.

    Oh gosh, I am gonna have to rein myself in from going on and on and on.

    I love so many things about my fiancé.

    He is so intelligent, and wise, and funny/witty, and down right beautiful in so many ways (inside and out).

    One of my favorite things about him is that he manages to be a weird and wonderful combination of super innocent and wholesome, and extremely worldly with a dark streak. I've never met anyone quite like him. He views things so innocently and believes in the good of people. He has a positive attitude every day of his life, which inspires me.

    I love that he takes me as I am and doesn't want or expect me to change. But he encourages me in anything I want or need to do to be happy. I can truly be myself with him.

    I even love his little quirks & imperfections! :-) Just thinking about him makes me smile embarrassingly.

    I love the way we just "fit" together. Everything, from our bodies to our eating/cooking preferences, beliefs, morals, politics, our sleep positions, music tastes, "love languages"...everything.

    I love that he is childfree by choice and had a vasectomy so I don't have to use birth control and we'll never have kids!

    He's made a non-cuddler into the biggest snuggly cuddler ever. No matter what is going on in our lives he's willing to make time for me, and lets me know I am a HUGE priority in his life. Even when he's dealing with his mother being terminally ill (and he's her caregiver currently).

    I love his confidence, his height, his body type (and that he has worked so hard to lose weight and become fit), his ginger coloring, his sexy red beard...ooooh...

    He's my best friend, and we do everything together. Hiking, kayaking, kickboxing, skateboarding, et cetera....it doesn't matter because he's always up for it.

    -Hilarious! He makes up goofy songs and puns just to "aggravate" me and make me laugh.
    -Not a single day goes by that he doesn't tell me how much he loves me or that I'm beautiful.
    -His smile is contagious,and it's impossible not to be happy when he smiles at me.
    -He's kind and has a great heart.
    -He's what I believe a man should be. He's ok with callouses. He's brave, strong,and honest. He will tell you how it is and exactly what he thinks.
    -Spontaneous..we will drive 3 hours for an unplanned trip to the aquarium,or he will wake me up with his swim trunks on and the kayaks already strapped to the car. haha
    -He loves my brothers. I know that seems ridiculous,but a lot of men have had trouble with the fact that my brothers are 16 years younger than me. I cherish them,and you have to be ok with that.
    -He's older than me by more than a decade. I love that because he's all about no nonsense...unless he's just being silly.
    -He loves children, which is a must.
    -Lack of drama. It's really nice not to have a lot of arguments and immature ridiculousness.
    -He's a fantastic artists,and his work never ceases to amaze me.
    -He respects and adores me.
    -He's always willing to tackle new recipies and strange foods with me.
    -Even when we don't have the money to go anywhere, we can have a great time being at home.
    -He's Korean. Is that shallow of me? Probably. haha

    This list could go on for pages. I believe the best part is, our relationship feels new even after nearly 4 years of "putting up with each other". haha
