My wife’s support during my years of battling depression and finally getting the meds right.

Realizing my wife is as beautiful today as she was as a 22-year-old bride 36 years ago.

Holding each other AND our two lovely grandchildren.

Listening to my wife reading at Mass.

I love the way my husband cradles my head against his chest when I come to him for a hug.

I love the way he rests his hand on the small of my back as we walk through a crowd.

I love the way his eyes crinkle at the corners when he smiles

And I love it when he laughs so hard he cries–then he gets hiccups LOL :whistle:

I love, love being married to my husband!!! We’re coming up on our one year anniversary and one of my fav memories so far is:

-He asked me when our daughter is able to hear us in the womb, and he declared that he would read her all the Gospels while she is in there. I love watching him read to my tummy, and seeing the her rippling responses!!! 😃 I know that she knows his voice.
 
–The secret subtle signals that mean: Yes, tonight. 😃

–When he knows I’m in a bad mood, so he pesters me and teases me and tortures me until a crack a smile.
 
I love the way his eyebrows drop and squinch when he mock-frowns at me.

I love the almost telepathic conversations we have, just with eye contact, and the way we’ve both adopted each other’s mannerisms.

I love being beside him at Mass, and seeing him pray.

I love that he gets up very early every morning to go to work in order to provide for us, and that he doesn’t complain. Much. 😃

I love being married.

I’m not married, but I got to grow up with two parents who have a wonderful marriage! Having parents that still hold hands in public in their 60s, and just grab each other suddenly in the kitchen to hold each other and dance and laugh to their own music…its a joy. I pray God will someday give me the wonderful gift of the love of a great husband.

Don’t be afraid to show your love for your spouse in front of your children, yes they may tell you its gross to see you guys kissing and holding hands, but honestly its a wonderful joy for the kids too. Knowing love exists, and being able to see it for what it is. Makes it a little easier to find it ourselves later, maybe because we have a better idea of what its like having seen it firsthand.

Your parents sound a lot like mine 🙂 And to be honest, I never once thought it was “gross” to see them kissing and hugging. Of course, we kids would often impose ourselves in the mix, making it a big group hug 😃 But their love for each other and for us kids was ALWAYS a big part of our life. It was just natural! And now that I’m married with kids of my own, I have no intention of not hugging/kissing my hubby in front of them.
 
I love how he calls me every day at 3:00 to remind me to say my Chaplet of Divine Mercy. Unless I call him first 😉

I love how he gets the baby out of bed (she sleeps with us) and changes her in the morning while I get some time to stretch in bed. This morning he had breakfast made before getting us up, and after changing the baby, he made it look like she was telling me to come eat breakfast and making her arms beckon me. It was so cute to follow the “floating” baby in hubby’s hands (he made it look like she was flying super-baby style) all the way to the kitchen. Should I remind him that our baby is not an action figure? 😃
 
:love: Aww…you guys are making me feel all mushy.

Well lets see…
I love it when he smiles and those crinkles he gets in the corners of his eye.

I love how he calls me “pookie” out in public no matter who is around.

That he’ll get up out of a sound sleep to kill a spider for me.😃

How playful and silly he is.

Watching him and our daughter torment each other in public like two kids -sometimes I have to separate them.

How he can make me laugh when life makes me want to cry.

Oh there’s so much more…I have to go give hubby a big smooch now. ❤️

This is exactly how my parents are! They’ve been married for 39 years. If you saw them you would think they were newlyweds! I always felt growing up and even still that that’s what every marriage should be like. I know a lot of people disagree, but my parents always put each other before they did my sister and I and I think that’s what still makes them such a happily married couple.

this is so true and the correct way in a marriage!!!
 
We’ve been married 21 years and still can’t get enough of each other. 😉
I think it is cute when he feels ignored and I go to comfort him in his “distress”. He’s so appreciative!
Also, it’s so attractive the way his eyes crinkle at the corners.
 
I love they way he calls me his “Muffin”

I love that every morning he gets up early and makes me coffee (although this may just be so he doesn’t to deal with GRUMPY MUFFIN …lol 😃 )

I love that we’re high school sweethearts and have been together since we were 14 and he told me at 16 he was going to marry me.

I LOVE that he proposed to me in church…which is also were we met… makes me cry just thinking about it

I love how he likes to snuggle me at night in his sleep…its even funnier when he’s sleep talking 🙂

I just LOVE LOVE LOVE him…I’m going to go love himup right now!!!

P.S.

I love this post !!! :love:
 
My dh sent me out this evening for some down time even though he had a headache and the kids were being wild.

What a guy!
 
Well, although my husband and I have been separated for 6 months, we are trying to get it all back on track… having time away I can really get a different perspective.
He’s so sorry for anything he’s done wrong and so determined to be a better husband.
I LOVE the fact that he’s bending over backwards to change everything about himself that was not quite right.
I can see how hard he’s trying to be the man he should be.
And he’s so understanding when I am not the wife I should be but he patiently waits for me to see it without ever telling me what I do wrong.
He LOVES our son and rings me everyday from work to see how I am and to talk to him.
I love how much our son loves his daddy! it’s really beautiful to watch and it melts my husbands heart when he cuddles into him.
He has been wonderful to my children. He really loves them and takes an interest in everything they do.
He’s great to talk to and he’s really my best friend.
We’ve rediscovered everything that drew us to each other in the beginning.
He’s smart and sweet and very romantic.
And when I thought it was all over, he never gave up and never stopped loving me. We have hope yet!

God bless you, Jules, you are so patient and perservering. I hope on your 20 wedding anniversary, you and he will look back with relief and pride and even confusion on this time in your lives.

I’ll remember you two when we pray our divine mercy novena tonight.
