What are the things about your DH that you....

LOVE?

What makes you look at him and remember that he is the man you love the most and the person who completes your life?

I am asking this because lately.. DRAMA and although I know its our first year and many of us are having harshships, I think there also seems to be a trend lately of bad relationship woes. NOT sayying that anyone's problems are not very real to them and serious. However, I do wonder if on some unconcious level we are all stirring one another up and feeding off of one another to a point, if that makes sense.

I know from my own personal experience, when I am REALLY upset with my DH, not like the little vents I do here but REALLY seriously upset, I DO NOT voice it to but a few people who I trust will remind me of all the reasons I love and married this man, out of all the men I could have made a life with.

When we're all going through our individual issues, its very easy I think to swing one way or the other depending on the moods surrounding us, so i think its time for a swing in the loving direction. We know what their failings are...lets look solely at their merits for today.

Here are some questions to pormpt your responses but speak it from the hearts sister friends No need to go in order on this one.

1. Why did YOU marry YOUR DH?

2. What makes him different from any other man you know/could have married?

3. What are some of the thinsg you most love about him? Why?

I'll go first unless someone beats me to it... lol

I love the fact that my DH understands me in all my complexities of mood (and belive me there are man!) and though once in awhile he can lose his temper, its VERY rare. He allows me to be myself and work my emotions out in ways that work for me without implenting fear in me that he will walk away.

His steady calm and willingness to talk always buck me from my prideful horse and remind me that love is a gift. Its not one I was ever really given by other men in my life and I need to cherish it and make it work.

I love his smile. He looks younger than his 32 1/2 years and when he smiles he looks all of 5 years old with the mischief that makes me make that weird 'I love you but you're soooo gonna cathn it!' face I did on our wedding day lol. This face..


I love that he plays with me (get your mind out of the gutter Marie! ) We laugh and we have a good time and he's not afarid to be a doofus in front of me, which allows me to be myself.

I open myself to him completely and leave nothing back. He is the only man in my romantic life who I ever allowed to even know I AM a wroter, let alone read what I wrote.

I love him because when he sleeps, he looks for me even then. We may not lie wrapped in one another's arms all night like movie heros, but he always makes sure we're touching butts when we face away from one another, or at least feet....

I love that he loves our animals with the same tenderness as if they were children, because it shows me that he will be a wonderful father although he doubts it himself.

I love that he works hard to makee me happy but emotionally and physically. He is always willing to sacrifice himself for me and reminds me to do the same because he deserves that from me.

I that we can discuss anything, no matter how big or small and never run out of things to say.

I love him because he is my best friend....my superman.

And I am going to tell him that today.

My husband has all the qualities in a man that I could have ever wanted. He is intelligent, handsome, trustworthy, honest, funny, caring, dependable, loving and supportive. He is always there is help me solve my problems. He tells me the truth even if I don't want to hear it. He can make me laugh even when I don't want to. I have the most fun just sitting with him and watching TV. We can do anything or absolutely nothing, just as long as I have him by my side.

I know this year is a big adjustment for both of us and we are learning. At times it is hard, but I wouldn't trade him for anything in this world. He is my husband, my best friend, my confidant.... my everything. And I love him with all of my heart.

See folks its not so hard!

We love our men! we may want to give em a knuckle sandwich once in awhile but we love them!

I was just thinking the other day to post about how much I love my DH - he hadn't done any one thing specifically to make me feel so loving, but I just had an overwhelming 'I love him so much' feeling while sitting at my desk at work. That doesn't happen spontaneously very often...

1. Why did YOU marry YOUR DH?

2. What makes him different from any other man you know/could have married?

3. What are some of the thinsg you most love about him? Why?

I love my DH because he really understands me. We are opposite when it comes to tempers and I think that's a blessing for us - he's very calm and collected; it takes a lot to get him to raise his voice or flip his lid. I'm the opposite - I can easily raise my voice etc. But we always respect each other and we know when to give the other space and when to deal with something right away. We don't ALWAYS get it right, but after 5 years together, we've learned a lot about how to deal with each other. There's ALWAYS more to learn and to adjust to, but I love that we've come so far.

My DH really values my opinion and cares about my feelings - I love that if I make a suggestion, he really takes it to heart and that he is a partner to me. I never wanted to be a full time employee AND a homemaker and I love that he doesn't expect that of me like many latino men do. He helps me with our daily home chores and if I fall asleep on the sofa, he'll get the bed ready for me and come wake me up gently to get me to go to bed. He always does the dishes and cleans the kitchen without me having to ask him and when I ask him to do an errand that **I** would even be annoyed to have to do, he will do it graciously.

I love my DH because he makes me laugh all the time. He's a very fun loving guy, gets along with my friends, and is a fun person to be around. I love that he can make me laugh even when I want to cry, but will be there for me if the tears take over.

I love that my DH loves our dog so much and I know he'll make a wonderful dad and this touches my heart like no other thing about him.

There are so many other things, so I'll just leave it at that I love my DH and feel that we were honestly meant to be with each other. Yes, he drives me crazy and we have our disagreements and arguments - but who doesn't?

I couldn't begin to break down all the qualities about my husband that I love...

I just ENJOY being with him. There is no one else in this world I want to share EVERYTHING with.

i cant say enough about my husband.. i have never been happier in my life!!
he supports everything i do , he is sooo loving, caring, and very trustworthy!! one very important quality in a relationship... we have such a huge trust for each other!
we have been through some rough times together.. he has lost both his parents, which was the hardest time in my life as well.. i thought of them as my parents also.. to see him go through that pain and grief was just so heartbreaking... i was so happy to be there for him though.. supporting him every step of the way.
our love is so much deeper with all that we have went through!

i cant ever imagine with being with any other man... he is my life!!

I have to say this is one of the subjects so far on the Newlywed Only board that I really like...Here it goes..

1. Why did YOU marry YOUR DH?

2. What makes him different from any other man you know/could have married?

3. What are some of the things you most love about him? Why?


I married him for many reasons, he's kind, caring, hard working, has a great personality, is always there for me through good and bad times...

What makes him different from other men I could have married is that he knew from the start that he wanted to be with me...and didn't keep me hanging....The love between us is on the same level...I come first...before friends, sports, etc....

I love that he listens to me....and accepts me with all my faults...

I truly love him with all my heart...

This is a nice thread
1. Why did YOU marry YOUR DH?

2. What makes him different from any other man you know/could have married?

3. What are some of the things you most love about him? Why?

1. Simply put , he is just the greatest person I know. He's so caring, so good-natured, patient, and responsible. I knew he'd be a great husband, father, and life-long friend.

2. I think what makes him different from any other man I've dated is that he is a grownup. He's a very stable, responsible person--something that's sometimes hard to come by. And, he always puts me first above everything else.

3. Well, I probably answere this in 2 & 3. But he also makes me laugh. He is hysterical. We have such a good time together. I even like the way we fight (weird, I know). We fight fair and rationally and both of us know how to pull one another out of cranky a mood.

I love my husband because he's sincere. He never plays games or trys to manipulate people. I can trust that when he says 'i love you' and 'you're beautiful' that he means it.

I love him because he's the only person that can diffuse me when i'm being nasty and difficult. He forces me to be reasonable and can even make me laugh when I'm crying.

I love him for always being himself and for loving me for being myself.

Took the words right out of my....hands?

This is a very sweet thread - thanks for posting it!

I was watching the movie, 'Meet Joe Black' the other day--and there's a line when Brad Pitt asks a guy (can't remember his name)--how do you know she loves you? How are you sure...and his answer kind of fit for my DH and i.


Why do I love my DH? Why did I marry him? How do I know he loves me?

'Because he knows the worst thing about me....and its okay.........You're free! You're free to l - love each other completely, totally. Just no fear. So there's nothing you don't know about each other, and it's okay.'

That is how I feel about my husband and myself...we have an openess and honesty that is just so refreshing and I feel like there is nothing that he wouldn't do for me. He's about the little things, and he lives to see a smile on my face. He treats me like his princess when no one is looking...and even when the world is watching. He makes me laugh...he makes me cry....and above all he makes me happy.

Mel I really like that quote! I think that defines alot of good marriages!

Jenn, thank you for starting another great thread!!!
1. Why did YOU marry YOUR DH?

3. What are some of the thinsg you most love about him? Why?


1) He has so many qualities that I admire. He makes me feel like I am a queen. He makes me feel safe & protected. I married him because as corny as it sounds he completes me. Before I met him I always felt like there was something missing from my life and when I met him I felt the emptiness that I was feeling be filled.

2) The capacity of his heart to love and to accept love makes him different. He is one of the most giving people that I know.He also lets me be me. I don't have to pretend that I am something that I am not. He accepts me for me. He is very supportive of my ideas and he gets along great with my sister, which isn't easy. He takes an interest in things that I am interested in.

3) There are so many things that I love about him. He is one of the most amazing people that I know. I admire his honesty and his ability to get along with people. He is also one of the most patient people that I know when it comes to explaining things to people, he can explain things to people where they get it on the first try. I love the way he manages to hug me when we are sleeping. He knows me better than I know myself, he knows when I am down and will come over & give me a hug.

The pigs would join the angels flying outta my butt so they would be in good winged company!

1) I married him because he is the one that I want to spend the rest of my life with. He is my best friend. I just absolutely adore him! And there was definitely some divine intervention going on to pull us together!!! He is everything I prayed and hoped for.

2) In previous relationships shared faith was a huge void. DH on the other hand is just as excited about and dedicated to the Lord as I am. That is something SO special that we share. Its definitely the foundation of our marriage.

3) Besides what I said in 2, which is the most important thing to me, he has the best sense of humor, cracks me up all of the time. And the weird thing is that we came from such different places and had such different paths but we share the same exact really weird sense of humor that no one else seems to get. We love that we can always depend on eachother for a good laugh and 'to get the joke' when no one else does. We're pretty darn funny to eachother, if no one else!

He is also an amazing father who just lives for his son (my step son). Its a really wonderful thing to just sit back and watch. I am so excited to have children with him. He is without a doubt a fabulous father- very warm, loving, fun!, interested, and very patient!

I trust him with everything. He knows all the ins and the outs and excepts every bit of me, with all my flaws, cause God knows I have quite a few!!!!!

He is always striving. And hes a bit of a dreamer, which I like. When he puts his mind to something, he is so passionate and set on making it happen and its inspiring to watch. It makes me feel like I can do it too. He is writing his first novel, though its not his job right now, and hes doing so great. I think hes really going to make something big happen.

He is so sweet with me that sometimes Im just overwhelmed and I think how can I even deserve to be so loved. Hes so affectionate and caring and in touch w/ my/his emotions. He is constantly telling me how beautiful he thinks I am. Its so sweet. He hates when I say anything bad about myself. Hes just a huge support and encouragement. He really knows how to take care of me and comfort me.

He is so not a fighter...though Im really feisty and can be a real brat when we have a disagreement. He is super patient and understanding with me esp when Im in a bad mood. But hes so cute bc he hates to argue...so it kinda makes me stop in my tracks and just want to make up. I know from his past experiences that no matter the ups and downs, he is dedicated to our family and he will put in the full effort just as I will.

Ill cut myself off here!

Thank you. I think that the only thing I could get DH to post about is the pickles. We were grocery shopping yesterday and were in the card isle and he found a pickle birthday card and said that I should pick up the card for my fellow LIW pickle people.
