What things does your spouse do that you love about them?

[Sara Noel]

I love Gabe making the coffee and bringing me a cup. It's diffused some of my worst anger. lol I just like the ritual of it and it makes me happy.

I love watching him play with the children. I sometimes just watch and get tears in my eyes when I see them happily playing.

I love how he asks if I am ok. He asks several times a day and I usually reply saying YES I am ok already. lol Truthfully, I like that he asks and is concerned that I may not be ok.

I love when he does anything in the house without being asked. (although I think he shouldn't have to be asked)

I love when he knows that I have had a rough day and brings home takeout.

I love when he brings home a surprise. It's usually something small like fruit or candy, but it makes me feel thought of and happy.

I love when he asks me to come watch a movie or initiates something for us to do as a family on the weekends.

I love when he plans when we have a little extra money and it's something for the home or kids vs. something he'd enjoy for himself.

I love his hugs that reassure me when I feel like I am having the worst day.

I especially love when he grabs my hand while we're in the car. I sometimes look back at our children in the backseat and am so happy to have our little family.

I could go on and on about the things I love about him. I am often quick to complain about the things he does that make me so frustrated, but overall the things he does that I love outweigh the negative. (although when I am mad, I sometimes can't think of one single thing I like about him) roflmao

I love that he is so gentle, both with me and the kids.

I love that he is willing to help out around the house, without even having to be asked.

I love that he is a good provider.

I love that I know that I can trust him.

I love that he is a man of God with a deep abiding faith.

I love that he can read my thoughts often and knows when I've had a bad day or when I'm hurting.

I love that he will sit and watch a sad/romance movie with me, that he doesn't laugh through it or say silly things about it. He just knows that sometimes I enjoy doing that.

I love when we go for a walk, he grabs my hand.

I love that hes never ridiculed me about my weight but always been so supportive.

Sara, I'm like you. I love more about him that I dislike. And I agree, when I'm mad, then I can't find anything good either.

What a nice thread!

I love when DH plays with our baby. He's a manly man type of guy who would never even hold a baby before ours- now she's got him wrapped around her little finger.

I love that he tells me he loves me every single time he leaves or when we hang up on the phone when one of us is at work.

I love (and sometimes hate) how devoted he is to his grandmother. It drives me crazy sometimes how he will drop everything and run over there when other family members could help her just as easily.... but at the same time I love that loyalty and devotion.

I love how he takes care of us financially- I have never felt so secure in my life. We don't have a lot, but, he's got things planned and worked out so that we can have everything we need.

I love the fact that he still holds my hand in public when we're walking somewhere.

I love that even though we only spend two days a week together (due to our work schedules) we are still so in tune with each other that most of the time we can finish each other's sentences. 

I could go on and on and on.... he is my soulmate.

[sunshine]

He gets up at 4:30 AM with me when I work and packs my lunch. He always adds a sweet "for his sweetie"

He gives me massages- and he's very good at it, even with the weakness in his muscles.

[mrscornbread]

I love that he values the time we can get away alone

I love that he does the laundry now. The boys do theirs, dh does ours and the towels

I love that when I am busy writing a paper or studying he will just wake up before me and clean the house.

I love that he knows my exact size and what I like and want

I love that even when money is tight, he finds ways to see that I am able to buy yarn or what ever supplies I need to get in touch with the creative side of me that destresses me

I love that he loves what I make...my sewing and crafts and finds a way to become like drilling the holes in the lighted gift boxes.

[Guest1]

He pops a bowl of popcorn for me every single evening for no specific reason - just 'cause I love popcorn....

He lotions my feet each night while I'm praying my rosary....

He asks about my Village friends on a daily basis....

He prays with the kiddos every night & tucks them in....

He tells his mom that he loves her....

He tells the kiddos that I'm the most beautiful woman in the world....

He talks with kiddos about their "babyhood" and about how much he loved them from the start....

He tells the kids that although he loves them more than life itself, you should always be married before you start a family - it's God's design....

He reads his Bible in public....

He always kisses me goodbye & tells me he loves me before he leaves for PT even though I'm still sound asleep....

He tells me about the things we're going to do when all the kids are grown & gone....

He tells me (even on my worse days) that I look beautiful....

He lets me drive everywhere....(I *am* the only person in the world who knows how to drive!)

He tells stories about my Daddy to "keep him alive" for the kids - specifically the little girlies - they were 6 & 3 when he died....

He tells me every meal that whatever I've prepared is delicious - even when it's gross....

There are so many more....I could go on for days!! He's a good man, good son, good husband, good Daddy, good soldier....Saying "I Do" was the smartest thing I've ever done!!

Dh just spend 2 hours watching '"Little House on the Prairie" on dvd, with me, because I like it. I feel guilty, because I made fun of the 'DUKE" yesterday, while he was watching. He's always doing things with me that he knows I enjoy, even if he doesn't particularly care for it.
Also, I love seeing him interact with our dgrandson, who's 14 mos. old. He lights up like a Christmas tree, when he sees him.

[Mom23boys]

I love how he can sense when I am stressed and will go make me a bubble bath with the candles burning and all.

I love how he cooks for us after he has worked all day.

I love how he takes car of our family financially.

I love how he holds my hand.

I love when he wants to cuddle while sitting on the couch.

I love watching him play sports with the boys.

I love the way he takes me out for some alone time.

I too could go on and on. What a great topic.

[Missy]

I love him because he's not afraid to be goofy. He will happily make a fool of himself to make the kids laugh. I love how he plays with the kids.

I love how he takes care of us all, wholeheartedly and without reservations.

I love that he is a hard worker and never complains.

[Katybird]

I love that he is a gentle and caring man. He is is full of compassion and love for everyone. He wants the world to be a better place and he tries his best to do his part to make it that way.

I love that he will look for the good in every person, even those that you have to look long and hard for it. He is a wonderful man.

I love that he tells me he loves me many times a day even when he is at work and his co-workers are listening or in public in front of strangers.

[isaacsmommy]

I love that he's a wonderful provider and is eager to make sure my needs are met.

I love that he's gentle and sweet with ds, and I love to watch him play or give him a bath.

I love that he doesn't think it's "women's work" to do household chores or help out with ds.

I love that every night when we go to bed and my feet are cold he let's me put them in between his knees to warm them up.

I love that every morning I work he makes my lunch, and never forgets utensils.

I love that he's begun complementing me in front of others regarding my cooking.

Oh boy, this thread is making me cry. I am such a sap.

I love how he tells me he loves me several times a day.

I love how he always encourages me and lets me do what I need to do to be happy.

I love how he gets up with me in the morning (at 5am) when he doesn't have to just to see me.

I love how he waits for me to get home from work and usually has soft music playing, a glass of wine, candles lit and and bubble bath drawn.

I love how he lets me cook...and he does the dishes without me asking.

I love how his eyes light up when I make him laugh and tickle him.

I love the way he tries so hard to please me.

I love the way he tries not to disturb me when I am sleeping (because I sleep horribly) for example, doesn't turn the light on etc. and how he kisses me goodbye no matter what.

I love how no matter how angry we are at each other, he stills says he doesn't regret a moment we've been together.

I love his goofiness, absentmindedness (yes, it also isn't so cute at times) and his romantic gestures.

I love how he always has to touch me...hold my hand, stroke my hair, cuddle, hand on my leg whatever and he is proud to show me off to everyone!
Wooo...I think that's enough
