It’s easy to find fault with our spouses. I’m guilty of it. Today, I’m focusing about my husband’s qualities.
7 Reasons Why I Love My Husband
- He does what most men don’t. He does most of the cooking and helps with the housework. It would be a huge load on me otherwise. I’m really grateful, especially knowing that a lot of women have all of it to tackle alone.
- He makes the kiddos do their part of the household work. Why should I care, since I’m at work? Because he’s looking out for me. He has always has said the kiddos should help and not leave it all for me when I get home. The kiddos may not love their chores, but I sure do appreciate my hubby for seeing that they do them.
- He is a good father. He’s not perfect but who is? He makes the hard decisions that this softy mom has trouble making. We’ve had our differences when it comes to parenting. I won’t tell you that he was actually right on a few of those occasions. He he! He cares about them and it’s evident.
- He loves me even when I’m a moody mess. Yes, he takes his turn being a grouch and biting back, but more times than not, he just overlooks my faults. More importantly, he is still beside me choosing to be my spouse til the end of time. I’m not so sure anybody else would’ve stuck it out this long.
- He is a good provider. Yes, I do help by working outside the home, but I am blessed to have a hubby helping me with the home front as mentioned above.
- He is fun to be around. Stress tends to put a wrinkle on my brow. Hubby has a way of making me smile even when I don’t want to. His charm and smile is so incredible.
- He’s my best friend. Maybe this is why he helps around the house, with the kids, and even puts up with my moods. I can’t imagine life without him. I look forward to seeing him after work has kept us apart all day. I value his input on matters and decisions to be made. I can’t see myself sharing with anyone else all that we share as a couple.
I sure hope he doesn’t choose today of all days to read my blog! No, seriously you and I should let our husbands know we appreciate them.
Lucky Lady!! 🙂
Oh, come on! I’m sure you can come up with 7 reasons. Try it and share your list with me.
Awww, what a fantastic list! I love my husband for the simple fact that he is a lot of things, I am not. He is patient (nope, not me) he is cool headed in hot situations (he keeps his cool a LOT longer than I keep mine) and he puts our family up front…which is where we both stand firm together. Our children and each other come before all else. 🙂
I think hubby and I are a lot alike in some areas, which makes for some conflict. I’m just so glad he hasn’t given up on us. It’s great to be loved.
these are a lot of good reasons to love the hubby and some are similar to why i love my hubby 🙂
What would you add to the list?
I realized after posting that I could easily add to my list.
I love this! I’m thinking of making a list for our 10 year anniversary in October for him. It really flew by!
Congrats on your upcoming ten year anniversary! How exciting!
What a blessing it is to have a man like yours. My own man is so wonderful, sometimes I wonder how we found each other. It sounds like your personalities balance out in perfect harmony. 🙂
I wouldn’t say perfect harmony. LOL. We still have our differences and arguments. We don’t always see eye to eye, but overall he is a great guy.
My man and I don’t see eye to eye on everything either, but we understand each other. 🙂
That’s important. I’m glad you guys do understand one another.
AWESOME! What a great husband you have.
I love my husband for many of the same reasons you listed above and prob mostly because he is a great father, great helper and we share common values and dreams for our lives.
Thanks for sharing,
Evey
It looks like we’re both blessed with
decentwonderful husbands. Did you tell him you appreciate him today? 🙂awww this is so sweet. I think sometimes we really need to step back and REALLY think about why we appreciate our spouses. It’s really easy to hang on to the negative things.
& you’re so lucky to have help with the housework 😉
I tend to dwell on the negative, which is not a good way to spend a marriage. Working on myself, for sure!
There are so many reasons why I love my husband, many similar or the same as yours. The main reason I love him is the simple fact that he makes me feel whole. When he isn’t around I constantly feel like something is missing. When he is home, even in another part of the house, then I feel happy and content.
I know what you mean. I miss my hubby when I have a day off and here’s not here.
I would love to do this on my blog and link back to you. Let me know what you think! You have a hubby as awesome as his wife!
Sure! Shoot me an email.
THIS right here!! Are our hubbies twins? lol I can relate to nearly all of this. My hubby is a wonderfully, absolutely amazing person. I have no idea where I’d be without him. Thank you for posting this … I took it as a little reminder to let him know just how grateful I am of him and all he does, even when I’m a “moody mess” which can be often! Nice to meet you by the way. =)
I tend to forget how fortunate I am. I’d be lost without him. Nice to meet you too. 🙂
My husband is great too! We have been together for 12 years. He is not only our family rock but also an excellent provider and nurturer.
Congrats on 12 years. Fewer marriages make it that far these days.
This is a great post! All too often I am criticizing my hubby – when he’s really a great guy. That’s why I married him! The thing I love best about him is that he never criticizes me. I seem to find a million faults with him, but he doesn’t complain about mine!
It’s not so easy finding a hardworking man who cares for his family beyond being the breadwinner, and you seem to have found a keeper!
I hope he read this!<3
Actually, I don’t think he has. I’d hate for him to use it against me. LOL
Great post! I tend to focus on the negative but your post made me think of how hard hubby works to take care of us. He wants me to stay home while he goes out to work. Many women would love the opportunity. Thanks!
@Zan ~ I would love the opportunity to stay home with my little one! I am currently in between jobs and can’t stand the thought of leaving my little one. {Back to the post subject…} I wrote this post because I, too, have a tendency to be negative. I needed a list to refer to when I wasn’t thinking happy thoughts about hubby.
Great list! Maybe he SHOULD read this blog post! 🙂
My husband is the person I know will have my back and take care of me when things get awful. He’s my best advocate when I am not able to advocate for myself, like during a complicated pregnancy that was life threatening for our baby and me.
@Keisha ~ How very blessed you are to have a caring husband. I’m not sure I’d want my hubby to read this, as he may use it against me next time we are arguing! LOL
Hello! Visiting from the Thoughtful Thursday link up! 🙂 Loved this post. I love my hubby for most of these same reasons! We are pretty lucky ladies if I do say so myself! 😉
@Heather ~ Yes, I agree, we are very fortunate to have hubbies that do as much as they do. I need to be more thankful and express it to him.
