PrettyEmily77 Posted November 20, 2015 Share Posted November 20, 2015 Because my life is so much better with him than without, he brightens my day just by being here, he makes me want to be a better person. We've known each other about 8 months only but it feels like I've known him all my life. We've had a few (minor) bumps and the dignified, classy way he's dealt with them is inspiring. Also, he's sexy hot. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
BetheButterfly Posted November 27, 2015 Share Posted November 27, 2015 Awesome thread!!! One of the qualities of love is patience. My husband was so patient with me yesterday when I messed up while cooking Thanksgiving dinner! (Our first Thanksgiving dinner together 4 years ago was at a restaurant lol.) He ate the item I messed up on (thankfully I didn't mess up on the turkey and the rest of the meal), and didn't vomit it out or make any hurtful statements about it. This shows me how much he loves me and cares for my feelings. I love my husband because he is kind, intelligent, communicative, controls his temper (much better than I do), strong physically and mentally, faithful, and shows his love for me through his actions. He works hard, can fix anything it seems, and likes to spend his time off with me. (He's working right now because it's double the pay.) He makes it extremely easy for me to love him. I also love him because God commands husbands and wives to love and respect each other. Love is a decision that is not supposed to be based on feelings or the worthiness of the beloved. Love is both a noun and a verb. 1 Corinthians 13 is a very beautiful summary of what love should be. I see in my husband this kind of love for me, and I love him that way too. While we're definitely not perfect and have ups and downs, especially due to our pasts, we both decide to love each other everyday, in the 1 Corinthians 13 way! 1 Link to post Share on other sites
BetheButterfly Posted November 27, 2015 Share Posted November 27, 2015 Of course, there's the superficial. I'd be remiss if I didn't mention how stunningly handsome and fit he is. His looks captured my attention, but the other amazingly qualities have kept me around. Aye, so true lol My husband is incredibly handsome too and yep it was his looks that first garnered my attention, shallow as that is. The shell is usually the first thing people see anyways; my looks caught his attention before he got to know my soul too. And yep, his other qualities make me want to live the rest of my life with him! Everyday, I am reminded by his words and actions why I married him and why he is so important to me!

Heatherknows Posted November 29, 2015 Share Posted November 29, 2015 I love him because he's the opposite of me. I use to find his optimism annoying now he kind of makes me hope for a better future. He's a bright light in my dark world. I also feel compelled to do better because of him. I love my husband because he's kind and sweet and loves to cook me dinner which he is doing right now. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

2.50 a gallon Posted November 30, 2015 Share Posted November 30, 2015 I could write a book. But Thanksgiving showed her true love. I do all of the cooking except for turkeys, she makes this most awesome stuffing that everybody raves over. It is almost so good you can throw the turkey away and just eat the stuffing. It is about a 3 hour drive to be with her family, most times due to her working hours we spend Thanksgiving together, so I can once again dine on her fabulous stuffing. This year as it worked out she would have the day off and could make it to her families feast. She was all set to cook a turkey for me on Thanksgiving and once again forfeit her family dinner. Until I suggested we can cook our turkey another day, here is a chance you can be with you family, so we will eat with your sister. She was still willing to pass on her meal with her family in order to cook our meal. Then unfortunately I came down with a cold, and did not want to spend the day passing out germs and their family feast. And again she was willing to stay and home and nurse me. The short of the story is she put Us and We above everything else. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
BetheButterfly Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 I love this thread!!!! I think more marriages would be successful and be thriving if both people concentrate on what they love about their partner!!! 3 Link to post Share on other sites
AyAyAy Posted December 5, 2015 Share Posted December 5, 2015 He finds a way to make me laugh every day! He changed my underwear for me daily after my c-section. I know that he loves me unconditionally, and can feel it radiating off of him when I stand next to him.... ..and he is an amazing daddy to our baby girl ? Link to post Share on other sites
georgia girl Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 I love my husband because he is the kindest and strongest person I have ever met and he makes me a better person just by being around him. I love him because when I saw him in the emergency room with over 10 broken bones and needing emergency surgery, he made a joke to make me feel better. I love him because he was scared enough to cry in front of me when he thought he would never recover feeling in his hands. I love him because I saw quite clearly what my future would have been like if he had not survived and I can say honestly that I could never love another human being like I love him. I love him because he faced the challenge of recovery by running a marathon. I love him because despite everything he has been through, I can feel how he still puts me and us first. He simply amazes me. Link to post Share on other sites
ShatteredLady Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 I remember someone asking me 20 years ago why I was getting married. My instinctive response was, "He's my best friend & I fancy the pants off him!". We've been together for 25 years. Some years have been beyond fantastic & I'm still surprised I've survived others. I never believed that I could love someone enough to work through the things I have but I do!! The marriage vows state the best & the worst, "in sickness & in health. For better & for worse...". The last year has been the worst year of my life. It's worst! It's sickness! Not a lot of cherishing, not a lot of forsaking all others but I KNOW him. I don't know a lot, I'm hurt, betrayed & broken...all I know, truly KNOW after 25 years is that even in our darkest hours I love him! I love him for the man he can be & the man he could be again. Oh I HATE him at times! I could kill him but whatever the future may bring I can truly say that despite everything I love him! I can't promise that I will stay but I can promise without hesitation that I will love him the day I die! Mine is the least idealistic, romantic answer. I'm sorry if I put a downer on this thread but if you really think about it (& squint a little & look at it out of the corner of your eye) isn't that a very true kind of LOVE?? Not perfect. Not unconditional anymore. No fairy tale. Not even healthy but HE can say HE'S been loved, truly loved. How many can say that after a lifetime? Link to post Share on other sites
Woggle Posted December 8, 2015 Share Posted December 8, 2015 I love her because she is a genuinely good person and it isn't fake with her. She is as honest and genuine as they come but if you mistreat she will fight back. She also doesn't try to change or smooth out my rough edges. She lets me be me. Link to post Share on other sites
RomanticBride Posted December 8, 2015 Share Posted December 8, 2015 (edited) I love him because he's kind, forgiving, extremely gentle, responsible, and hardworking. He gives it 110% every single day when it comes to his job and to making me feel safe and loved. He's memorized all my likes and dislikes and always knows the perfect present to get me. Sometimes, he'll just come home from work with my favorite food. He never, ever criticizes me for my childishness and even encourages it to a degree, thinking it's adorable. For example, he's gotten into all the cute, relaxing kids shows I like to watch, like Puffin Rock and Ever After High. He was the one to introduce me to Puffin rock actually. He likes going to the mall and window shopping, and we have hundreds of inside jokes and stories. He'll often curl up and fall asleep in the fluffy pink Hello Kitty themed bed fort he bought me for Christmas one year, just because he knows it's my favorite place in the house and he'd rather nap beside me than in the master bedroom. And when it seems way too perfect to be true, the way his eyes sparkle whenever he looks at me promises me that it is. <3 <3 <3 I love my Fuzzy Edited December 8, 2015 by RomanticBride 1 Link to post Share on other sites
pink_sugar Posted December 9, 2015 Share Posted December 9, 2015 My husband is sweet, funny and smart. I was immediately attracted to him, because he didn't seem like a guy who was just out to get in my pants. We were friends for a few months and grew to care about each other romantically. We have so much in common and he brought me out of my shell. He's one of the few people I can be completely honest and myself with without fear of rejection. Link to post Share on other sites
