My husband is my favorite person! He is more important to me than anything else, and I would do anything if it would make him happy. I appreciate who he is and what he does. I LOVE that I get to spend the rest of my life with him, making him as happy as he makes me.
Loving, smart, funny, strong, motivated, compassionate, silly, and so much more. My husband is the ideal MAN by which I judge all others.
And yes - he has three brothers. But they're all taken, too! I got the pick of the litter!!!
ETA: I'd go make him a sammich to show him some love, but I already did!0 -
My wife sent me this yesterday.
"I am so happy you are in my life. I am thankful every day that we you are my husband and partner.
I love you very much! Hope you have a good day."
I don't know what she sees in me, but I'm not about to screw it up.
Love this!0 -
I very much appreciate my husband. I'm a newlywed, and let's just say "this ain't my first rodeo". I know the difference between "close enough" and "the one God chose for me".
Case in point. Right before joining MFP last month, I had to clean clothes out of my closet for the second time in three months that had gotten too small. I was in a funk about it. My wonderful husband asked me what was wrong and I explained that I'd just had to remove more clothes from my closet because they didn't fit. His response, "were they too big?" Now we all know darn well he was aware I wasn't getting any smaller. But bless his heart for at least trying to boost my spirits. Even if it we both knew his response was total BS! LOL
I was married to someone for 18 years who was the master of the grand gesture. Best gift giver in the world. Over the top, in fact. But I would have traded it all to have what I have now.

I appreciate my husband and I know it's mutual.
He is my best friend, he makes my heart skip a beat when he looks at me a certain way, he makes me laugh, he is a wonderful father to our kids, when life gets rough I know he's got my back. He believes in me and encourages me. He compliments me. He has loved me skinny and fat. If we argue, we both know the other is not going anywhere... he is the only man I have been able to imagine growing old with. We have never said a mean or derogatory comment to one another in 13.5 yrs. We don't name call or punish one another for mistakes.
I knew I was going to marry him the first night I met him, not being "romantic or sappy" for some silly/stupid/random reason those thoughts came into my mind...... it had never happened before..0 -
Congrats to you!
I feel the same way about mine....most days anyway :laugh:0 -
:flowerforyou:
I love my baby! He is so sweet to me! He tells me my outfits are cute, or if I should wear something different. (I am fashion-challenged, but he's pretty good.) He's always ready for hugs and kisses and hold my hand, even after 18 years!
I think that the two of us are made for each other. We are soulmates!0 -
My boyfriend is the bomb. We dated through most of college. He dealt with me getting my ex out of my life the first eight or so month of our relationship. When I said no to sex the first time because I wasn't ready he told me that was fine and he didn't love me any less because I said no, and then never pressured me afterwards. When I got an internship on the other side of the country he said "So do I need to start looking for work in California." He graciously allowed me to accept the extension my internship granted me, even though that meant three more months living there where there were no job opportunities for him. He told me he didn't care if I got a summer job that would take me several states away this summer, because he knows it's important for his career. He runs with me. He lets me cook vegetarian food even though he'd rather be eating steak. He buys me beer.
Basically, he's awesome.0 -
I married my best friend. I was married before for 17 years, and he left me for his mistress. Never in a million years did I think that I would ever remarry, but alonng came Hubs. He treats me like a queen. This marriage is what I should have had the first time. Hubs and I have been together 13 years now. His first wife died young, and he was widowed 3 years when we met. I remember going through the typical "compeition with a ghost" insecurities, but he was always good about telling me that while she was perfect for him THEN, *I* am perfect for him NOW. Because he has experienced devastating loss, he tends to live a "carpe diem" attitude, and appreciates every moment of life. Lately, it's more "I love you more than I have every loved anyone". So, the bloom is definitely NOT off the rose, and I am still waiting for the honeymoon phase to be over...HOPE IT NEVER IS!

Kudos to the OP for such a good idea :drinker: I do love happy threads!
I feel like you do about my husband. I think he was made for me. I think it was Marilyn Monroe who said, "If you can't handle me at my worst, then you sure as hell don't deserve me at my best!" (not sure if it was her, but whatever) and he certainly toes the line every time.
I used to have crazy migraine headaches. He would hold/comfort me even when I was throwing up and delirious with pain. He has never made a condescending remark to me, and respects me both in public and private.
He's a good listener, he'll give up sleep to spend quality time with me.
I try to be as vocal as possible about how I appreciate him. I spent some time studying the different emotional needs of men vs. women, so that I could better communicate to him how wonderful he is in the ways that resonate with him the most.

My boyfriend is my best friend! This is by far the healthiest happiest relationship I've ever been in!! We have so much love and respect for each other. I'm thankful that we found each other 0

So, all these amazing guys you ladies are talking about...any of them have brothers?
on a more serious note, congratz on the happiness!
Mine does...but I certainly wouldn't recommend him.:noway: I got the good one!0 -

I tried very hard to love a girl who kept bringing me steaks to cook. Failed.0 -
I'd easily take a bullet for mine in the rear......Just hope she's not the one holding the gun! :happy:0

I absolutely adore my man friend. He's definitely the perfect compliment to me. Where I "fail" (IE: money handling, the remote and cooking) he prevails. Where he fails (sports, car repairs, cleaning and laundry) that's where I come in.
We have a very good partnership. He brews beer, I'm in charge of quality control :drinker:0 -
I married my high school sweetheart, 21 years later we're still together. I can't imagine life without him. He is my everything!0

My boyfriend is amazing , but his brother is a train wreck, so be careful what you ask for. :laugh: 0 -
Been married to mine for 5 years, been together a total of 12. I don't think I could ever have the kind of relationship I do with him with anyone else - not in a million years. He is the sweetest man in the world to me, takes care of everything I need and is an amazing father to our son. I know there's not anyone else out there for me but him, and certainly no one else out there who would put up with my crap and still love me! :laugh: I think it's crazy sometimes that even after 12 years I'm still incredibly attracted to him both on the physical and non-physical levels. He is in a word amazing. 0

I know it sounds cheesy but my husband really does complete me. First and foremost, he loves me for exactly who I am, and that is pretty unbelievable. He has loved me when I was heavy, when I am mean and ugly and sad and sick. He has seen me at my worse, and loves me as much today as the day he married me, thank God for that.
We can look at something and be thinking the exact same off the wall thing, that is still really weird for both of us, and we have been together over 14 years. We march to the beat of a different drummer, but we both hear the same one.
We were truly made for each other, no doubt in my mind. I believe he is the most handsome man on the earth and the love I have for him can not be expressed through words.0 -
I am as crazy about the Hubs nearly 15 years after meeting him as I was back then! He is my biggest supporter in this too! Always telling me to go for a run when I'm on the fence about it and bragging to all our family and friends about my weight loss and fitness progress.
Funny story about that - about a month ago his Mom stopped by and we were talking about exercise and he says "did you know Min does marathons?". LOL! Sweet hon but they're 5ks - big HUGE difference!0 -
After I lost my first husband to a heart attack, I never thought I'd love again...until I met Buddy (yep..that's his name). He is the true definition of amazing. He has not only been a wonderful husband to me but has stepped up to being a wonderful role model and "new" dad for my 2 sons.
PS ~ LOVE this thread!!

Sometimes I think I don't deserve my guy, Zach.
Although he is 9 years younger than me, he is so supportive in my weight loss journey and will start joining me at the gym soon. (He cleans windows for a living so he is very active daily anyway). He is my sensible side of spending. I keep track of the spending but he helps me not spend too much. He acts so much older than he is (sometimes) and he is just the best thing in my life and I don't know what I would do without him.
So then I think, I DO deserve him or we wouldn't be together. God love him for putting up with ME. 0 -
I don't have the words. He lets me be me, and I let him be him. We don't try to change each other in any way...I did make him learn how to separate laundry though. We both are vocal in our appreciation and love of each other multiple times a day. We don't take anything for granted. His longest relationship had been 8 months, we have been together 7 years now. One of his long term female friends (not ever girlfriend) commented after she had watched us for a few hours...."you 'get' him like no one else has". He 'gets' me too. 0

I like this thread. Positive vibes
My boyfriend is amazing on so many levels. He's calm to my manic...he's smart in different ways than I am. He's well spoken and kind to everyone he meets. He like snothing more than to meet people and learn from them. He can tell my mood by the words I speak with. He is always there for me. We communicate, we don't let arguments fester. I can see it in his eyes when he looks at me and that's something I've never felt. I don't even have the words for him.0 -
My boyfriend is my best friend. When we fight, I know it's not "if" we make up, it's "when". He really understands me and loves me, even if he has a hard time expressing it sometimes. I love him more and more every day.0

:happy: Thank you for posting this. I was just having a "negative" afternoon, and realized that I have it pretty damn good. I love my man to no end. Even when I don't like him some days.... :happy:0

First of all, OP, that was very beautiful! As is your wife, very gorgeous gal indeed!
I really wonder all the time if we weren't just fated to be together. The way we met was so random and different, I think we worked out the numbers once and it was 1 in 100,000 or something like that chance that we would meet. If I had waited 3 more seconds, or if he had decided not to click on something, or if I had gone to my friend's house after all, we would have never met. Both of us were instantly head over heels Two days after meeting, we both decided we wanted to be in a relationship, but "boyfriend and girlfriend" felt too shallow.
Anyway, he is absolutely my everything. I always say I couldn't have dreamed up a better man, and I really couldn't have. He completes everything that I find to be a flaw in myself. He's very good at getting around by memory, I am really, really awful at it (I tried to drive us to the mall today from our house and almost ended up in Massachusetts. The mall is a 5 minute drive -.-) I'm awful with money, he's very good at it. He keeps me in line when my head's in the clouds, and I let him know it's okay to be a child every now and again. We compliment each other in a lot of ways, and I don't know what I'd do without him, and don't intend to find out. He was my "first", and I was his first everything! lol (kiss, gf, partner...literally everything!)
Sometimes I take him for granted, but then he does or says something that pulls me back to reality. Today we were in JCPenney's and he tried on a leather jacket...that pulled me back to reality real quick! Yowza. My baby is smokin' :glasses:
In all seriousness, this is a lovely thread. It's nice to hear others are as happy as I am! :drinker: :flowerforyou:0 -
My wife is awesome. Great mother to our kids, supportive of me in grad school, and took good care of me when I was sick recently (I'm a big ***** when I'm sick).0
