Someone asked about my husband’s good qualities, a great focus for us marrieds.

There has never been a mug of tea or coffee, in all the years,
nor a single breakfast lunch or dinner,
or even if I bring the bins in,
that he doesn’t specifically thank me for.
He has the gift of gratitude, that arises from courtesy and respect

While the sin of Adam and Eve was of disobedience, and pride
it also was of ingratitude.
God gave so much, and held back just one thing.
Instead of gratitude for all the gifts of creation, they wanted that one thing

My husband helps me not to rush into things,think through first.He steadies me up.
 
I read both my posts in this thread to my husband.
Guess what he said! 😁

My husband is a helper. And also a peacemaker.
When he did his Gifted In Christ class, his #1 trait was “Restorative”.
Which is particularly apt, as my daughters were very traumatized by the suicide of their father. Joe came in and brought laughter and gentleness to the house.
He’s very sweet./
 
Clare that’s breathtaking. A marriage made with the Angels singing.

Your response silenced everyone, Clare.
You left everyone in awe regarding your amazing husband.
 
This is a great thread. CAF can sometimes be overwhelming with all the griping. Sometimes I feel like this is how priest must feel in the confessional!
I thank God for posters who are willing to spread JOY~
 
I believe my wife’s virtue that delights me is that she truly is a care giver for no reason than to help. She has always been there for family and friends. When my dad lay dying in the hospital many years ago she was the one to hold his hand and gently rub it or massage his feet. Mom sat in the corner chair. I stood to the other side of the bed watching my wife. I’ve never been like that and it really affected me deeply. Of course there are hundreds more times where she is doing so much more for others and I’ll add that this is all with minimal negative discourse on her part. I agree. Nice thread.
 
LOL I catastrophize, but DH lets things roll off his back (he talks me down when I flip out) ❤️
 
My husband really thinks what he is going to say,very rarely responds out of anger.
He thinks for the underdog and acts upon that.
He has a gentle sense of humour and is very polite.
