    He is faithful and I am sure of it. He thinks I am beautiful and wonderful and smart and that everyman wants me, even at my most disgusting. He is smart with our money. Is not into sports. He puts his family first. He gives us our vitamins everyday, because he cares about our health. He can cook some amazing meals. He is soooo mechanical and takes good care of my car. He has strong and good morals. He loves his parents and his sisters. he is kind to animals. etc... etc.... etc.... I should tell him some of these.

    I truly believe that my husband and I are indeed soul mates. After almost 19 years together (16 married), we often know intuitively what each other is thinking or feeling. We've done projects around the house with minimal conversation just because we know what each other needs.

    We both enjoy the same things, but also allow each other to persue individual interests. He can go fishing with his brothers for a week and I'm not threatened by it. I can go to a conference out of town for a week and he doesn't get freaked out.

    We trust each other completely.

    He is smart, and if he doesn't know how to do something he will figure it out.
    He's strong and resilient.
    He's a great dad to our three girls. He can be tough, and has high expectations, but loves them completely. He shares his love of the outdoors with them (hey, girls can fish and hunt too!).
    He is always there for me--whether I'm sick, down with a migraine, stressed, or whatever he picks up the slack. I could NOT have made it through grad school without his support.
    He is passionate about the things he believes in.
    He loves me always. He doesn't care about my appearance (but compliments me on my success), or whether dinner is a cooked-from-scratch masterpiece or frozen pizzas. He lets me be myself--good, bad, or otherwise.

    What THINGS do you LOVE MOST about your spouse/partner

    I always see negative comments about what people DON'T like, but there has to be something that you love otherwise you wouldn't stay with the person...

    -I love that my husband really notices me and is very complimentive.******
    -I love how no matter how tired he is, if I ask him for "anything" he doesn't mind getting up to it with no complaints or grumbles.
    -I love that he makes me feel special, wanted, needed and loved. ******
    -I love that he is a great provider not necessarily by how much he makes (which is good) but the fact that when needed he is willing to work 2 jobs to take care of his family with no complaints.
    -I think I just love the fact that he doesn't really complain too much about anything really. Trust me, it doesn't mean that it's because I'm perfect but because he is just so nice. His non-complaining habits makes me put myself in check when I have a complaint

    I married a wonderful man. we have our issues and miscommunications. but we love each other and only want the best for each other.

    Reasons I love my wife? It's a long list but these are the highlights...

    Seeing the best in people, quick to praise and thank, sweet tempered, naturally good natured, intensely loyal, strongly moral yet non-judgemental, patient and long-suffering, being one of those rare people others just want to be near, and last (& perhaps most importantly) laughing as if she really means it at some truly terrible jokes.

    We met in April 1987 and I married her as soon as I could.

    I loved seeing a posting about saying NICE things about our spouses/partners.... nothing irks me more than when people talk negatively about their spouses - especially on public forums - so it's refreshing to see a genuine, mushy, wuvy-dovey love fest for once. Hoorah, OP!

    I love absolutely everything about my husband. He's the sweetest, kindest, funniest, most loving and genuine person I've ever met in my life. I love that he's not afraid to show his emotions or have deep, emotional conversations. I love his compassion for animals and the environment. I love his sense of humor, which is often as corny, morbid and/or raunchy as mine, lol. I love the way his eyes sparkle when he looks at me and tells me he loves me. I love the way just the sound of his voice on the phone is enough to erase all the worst things in the world that may have happened in my day. I love how he always listens and engages with me - he never just says 'yes dear' and ignores me. I love his patience and his honesty - the way he doesn't hold back and tells it like it is. I love how brave he is (and how I'm a 'goody two shoes' and he's really helped me come out of my shell). I love how supportive he is - no matter what I do, he has faith in me and makes me feel like I can fly. I love his smile and the way that it melts me every time (think of the smoulder from Tangled! lol). He's my soul mate in every way imaginable. I love that he makes me want to be a better person, and has given me so much hope and love and happiness. I love the way that I feel when I am with him - and how much I miss him when we're apart. I couldn't imagine a single day of my life without him, and he's told me a million times that he feels the same. What do I love most? Him. Plain and simple - everything that makes him who he is... that's everything to me.

    3. Is a wonderful father.
    4. Does all the work without complaining when i dont feel like doing anything.
    5. Is very very smart and intelligent.
    6. Has such wonderful moral values. Always wants to do something for the society.
    7. Has a dark sense of humor.

    The great thing about my wife is that she tries so very hard to make me happy. In turn, I try my best to do the same. After 33 years of marriage we're still trying with every fiber of our being to put the other one first. It's been a wonderful life with her. I look forward to many more years of us together.
  • Awww....I LOVE this thread. What a feel-good post for a gloomy Tuesday! I'll play along...

    I love that my husband is supportive of a healthier lifestyle, but always tells me I'm perfect the way I am and says "Don't change for me...change for you."

    I love that he does dishes. :)

    I love, love, love that he is an equal partner in our parenting....he changed diapers, volunteers at school, attends parent-teacher conferences, makes it to the ball games, etc.

    I love that he doesn't complain about my many short-comings in the "domestic diva" department.

    And mostly, I love that he's fun to be around....and he likes being with us. Seems like a small thing, but he's never really acted like he needed to "get away" from us for guys night out, etc....not that he never does those things, but I really do appreciate that he doesn't seem like he's running to get away from us. :)

    There are so many things <3 , but I'll list one of my favorites: He is the most calm, cool, level-headed person I've ever known - outside of family, he doesn't care what anyone else thinks about him - I am the POLAR OPPOSITE !!!!


    Favorite thing he's ever said to me when I get self conscious or down on my appearance: "I wish you could see yourself the way I see you."

    I don't know what I ever did to get so lucky:love:

    I love this forum topic. I agree that I can't STAND IT when people complain about their significant other on public forums. In this world of 50% of marriages ending in divorce, I love, love, love seeing how much everyone appreciates their significant other - keep posting!!

    How do I love my wife? Let me count the ways.

    - I love the fact that I can get into a car with my wife and talk with her for hours and never once have to turn on the radio.
    - I love my wife's laugh
    - I love my wife's smile
    - I love it when my wife goes out of her way to help me get to where I need to be at

    I couldn't ask for a better partner, partner in crime, road dog, confidant, lover, and friend than I have in my wife.

    But the thing I love most about my wife...is that she is with me. Right, wrong, happy, sad, good, bad, tears, smiles, etc...she is still right beside me. And I love that most about her.

    I don't have one dedicated partner by choice, but traits that all partners have/havehad in common are:

    They think I'm sexy when I'm silly/funny
    They appreciate me for my dedication to being a good parent and are good parents as well
    They find my taste in art, nature and music refreshing and different
    They think of me as bubbly and that I am/have been an enrichment to their lives
    They share what they are thinking because they know I don't judge
    They give me props for my ambition and spirit of being healthier and more fit
    They will read my poetry even if they never like or understand it
    They participate with me in events and new learning opportunities
    They say 'please' 'thank you' and bless me when I sneeze

    And this one guy used to wash my hair for me, even if he had already had a bath or shower, he made it a point to find one thing that he could do to always be helpful and made it a special time where we could be in each other's presence, quietly and not have to talk about work or kids or anything else. That was nice.

    *That after 8 years, he can still make me laugh so hard that I pee my pants..
    *That he has seen my crazy Portuguese temper and still stuck around
    *He is always on my side no matter what
    *He'll let me know when I am wrong
    *He is the best cuddler
    *He embraces my competitive side
    *He still sits beside me when we play video games even though I punch him in the shoulder every time I lose
    *He is not afraid to hit the dance floor with me even though my dancing is a cross between Eilane Benass and Ellen DeGeneres.
    *He is an AMAZING cook

    -He has the most ridiculous and hilarious sense of humor
    -He is always so complimentary (even when I am being a b word)
    -He can sense when I m overwhelmed and always asks what he can do for me to make my life easier (this is huge for me because he does it without me asking and at times that I don't even realize how overwhelmed I am)
    -He is caring and compassionate

    I love his eyes, his smile, his body ( he is very handsome IMO, after all this is why I was first attracted to him ITFP):love:
    That he chose me (we were kids when we got together and he definaitely had a choice of some really pretty girls)
    His love for music
    His sense of humor- he can always make me laugh
    He's very smart (though sometimes he doesn't act like it)
    He can fix almost anything
    He doesn't feel the need to go out drinking or flirt with girls, he tells me all of the time I'm more than enough for him
    That he still holds my hand
    That he works hard to support us, his family
    That he tells me he loves me everyday
    That he is still attracted to me (no matter how I think I look)
    That he trusts me completely
    That he reassures me when I'm nervous or scared
    That he knows me so well, he knows what I like and what I don't
    That he helps me around the house (OK sometimes he does complain a little)
    That he doesn't notice when I didn't put on makeup, do my hair, or get dressed, or when the house is a mess(or at least he doesn't say anything about it)
    He doesn't complain when I don't feel like cooking dinner and is happy to cook for me
    That when he does notice the house he appreciates it (though he doesn't always know how to express it)
    That we still go at it like we did as teenagers :blushing: He's good at what he does
    That he gave me the most beautiful, healthy, happy daughter (and that he cried when she was born)
    That he is wonderful to our child and he loves her completely
    He makes me happy:heart:
    He has stuck with me even though I have been anxious, depressed, jealous, and down right crazy from time to time.

    There are a lot of times when we take each other for granted and at times we fight. We always somehow remember why we love each other.

    I love that he is a great father. Nothing more attractive then a man who can joke,play and love his kids. I love that no matter what, he thinks I am the most beautiful women in the room.:blushing: I love that he wants to come home after work to be with his family. I love that me makes me smile and laugh. I love that he serves his country. Love that he is a handy man who can fix pretty much anything I manage to break.

    So many other things but I am sure you guys don't want to read all that mushy, dirty :wink: Things that I love about him.
