Thanks for starting this thread. I actually was going to participate in the other thread and then I started thinking that it might not be so honoring a thing to do. What a laundry list he could probably come up with for me! 
Since weāre limiting this to the domestic, he never leaves āthe seatā up! Yes, more than you wanted to know but after hearing sooooooooo many women complain about this I am truly thankful!

As for my dearly departed husband, here are the wonderful things he did:
He would always put the clean dishes away in the morning. He just would do it.
He loved to change diapers
He would bring flowers home unexpectedly.
He never argued.
If I mentioned his hair was getting long he would have it cut within a week.
He would cook dinner often.
He would put the babies to sleep happily.
He loved to give the girls their baths.
He shot skunks.
He never argued if I told him to get off the phone with telemarketers, but just smiled and did it.
He always put his snowboots away when I got annoyed, and he tried to correct his bad habit of leaving them in the living room.
He ceased his habit of watching the morning news because I comlained one time that I hated the sound of the TV in the morning.

His heart is HUGE!
He rescues every stray in his path (we now have a dog and 5 cats!)
He runs to McDonalds and back to the freeway entrance to feed all the āwill work for foodā people.
He bails his loser friends and relatives out of jail and even hired a lawyer for one.
He makes me toasted cheese sandwichs when Iām sick, (my favorite food) and lets me rest.
I pray for him because he claims he has no faith but I know God sees his gigantic heart and has taken note! He lives to assist the oppressed more than most who claim faith.

If any of your are old enough to remember Ann Murrayās song, āYou Needed Me,ā that describes my husband to a T. My husband saved me, literally, from the jaws of Hell.
He is the most devoted man alive ā always patient, knowing that Iāll find my way home eventually, and heāll be waiting there for me.
He takes after his father, who is, at this moment, with my mother-in-law who has struggled with mental illness for decades. So many men would give up after what he has gone through, but my father-in-law is faithful and loving and patient. I am thankful that my husband has him as a model.
And my husband is a remarkable father himself ā our son adores him, when a teenager generally HATES his father.
Hmmm. Oh, and he makes the WORST puns, and that is especially endearing.
Wow. God found just the right guy for me! And my father himself picked him out!

This is more like it!!!
My husband will go out to the store at 10pm for detergent so I can do laundry the next morning. He takes our son to the park and they donāt return for hours. He has a blast with his father all to himself. Although his sister doesnāt know what to do without her brother for so long. Hubby takes the trash out with out me asking. He works hard so that I can stay at home with the kiddies. Heāll get up early with the kids even if he worked late the night before.
Most of all, he loves me and tells me so daily.

when I was pregnant he would drive from Shaker Sq. all the way out to Mayfield & 271, where the only Arbyās was, to get me roast beef sandwiches.
when I am at a youth event or other exhausting day, I come home to find the tea ready, bed turned down for my nap, and a clean house
he does all the housework since I am gone so much
he just spent 3 hours getting my computer de-bugged and up and running
he is the first person anyone of our acquaintance would call if they were in trouble and needed help
he is honest in marriage, business and personal life
he refuses to tolerate sexist, racist or prurient jokes and conversation in his presence
he has been an ideal husband, father and role model for our kids, and their friends.
4000 limit or I could go on and on

Since I just posted on the other āspouse habitsā thread, this is only fair. My husband:
- makes sure the yard is taken care of, the trash is taken out, and the house is weatherproofed without me ever having to remind him
- spoils me to the best of our financial ability
- is much loved by both children and animals, and he loves them right back
- is kind and caring, and treats everyone with respect
- supports me in my Catholic faith even though he is not Catholic
- loves me and tells me so often.

He always puts the laundry away for me.
He helps out in the kitchen when Iām cooking dinner.
He changes diapers.
If he sees something that has to be done, he does it.
Heās a very hard worker.
He makes me laugh so hard my sides hurt and I canāt breathe.
Heās a bit reserved around other people, but with me he can be a complete goof-ball.
Heās the greatest guy in the world. Heās perfectā¦for me.

He puts up with meā¦
He feeds the stray animals.
He loves children and old people.
He is never uncharitable toward others.
He is a EME and does anything he can for the Church.
I just pray that he will have a ādeeper conversionā in the Faith (heās a Liberal)ā¦heās a āCradle Catholicā and at one time thought he had a vocation.
He has thought of the Deaconate thoughā¦
Anyway I think this was about domestic habitsā¦

Many things. One of my favorite things is:** āHe does the Ironing!ā ** And, he does it very well. I get lots of compliments on his crisp and neat appearance from other wives. (He forbids me to tell others though, that I donāt Iron.- Itās a badge of honor to accept the compliments, and never tell anyone that I burn everything I ever try to iron. We could not afford to replace all the ruined clothes.)

He cleans the litterbox.
He does the laundry.
He makes my coffee in the morning and puts it in a to-go cup for me to take to work.
He takes my car to the Jiffy-Lube because Iām afraid of falling into the big hole in the floor.
He comforts me in the middle of the night when I wake up in pain.
He is unfailingly kind and polite to everyone.
