10 Things I Love About My Husband!

By

My husband’s birthday is approaching and he deserves the best!  Sometimes, we forget to acknowledge and point out why our spouses are amazing.  It’s important to verbally express it frequently.  I remember once when we were courting, I surprised him with 101 handwritten reasons of why I loved him.  So today, I wanted to share with you only 10 things I love about my husband (in no particular order):

  1. A man of faith.  Through prayer and faith, we see God fulfill miracles after miracles in our life.
  2. His noble heart.  He is an unconditional friend.  He gives without expecting anything in return.
  3. He’s not easily angered.  He never raises his voice.  If ever we have a disagreement, he keeps calm.  Everyone knows that it’s easy to get upset, but he always holds his composure no matter what.
  4. He always speaks words of love.  Our goal as a family is to never speak hurtful words to one another and to always tell each other words of love and encouragement.  (Side note: It is so important to express love to your spouse with your words!)
  5. He’s the BEST in everything!  Sports, music, you name it!  I guess you can say, I am and always will be his number one fan.  A husband’s number one fan should always be his wife.
  6. He’s my personal chauffeur.  No matter how tired he is, (like those long 4 hour drives back from Orlando to South Florida) he will never tell me to take over the wheel.  The main reason is because he’s a gentleman and would rather me rest or keep him awake by talking up a storm the whole drive home.
  7. He always surprises me!  It’s honestly his thing, and he’s pretty darn good at it – since our courtship to when he proposed by flying us to NY and popped the question at Bow Bridge.  Whether it’s a bouquet of flowers or a Hallmark card filled with heartfelt words, he continues to surprise me even now.
  8. He’s my greatest supporter.  I know I can achieve anything I set my heart on primarily because he’s my supporter and motivator.
  9. His joyful spirit always makes me laugh.  I could never stay mad at him because he retaliates with his charm and jokes.  Plus, I love to laugh and he never fails at turning my frown upside down.
  10. He’s the best father.  Seeing him in a new light as a father makes my heart grow fonder of him.  Words can’t describe the happiness I feel when I see him and our baby boy interacting.
  11. BONUS: How handsome he is.  He will always be my handsome groom and I strive to always be his lovely bride.  A wife should always feel physically attracted to her husband, no matter how long you’ve been married and vice versa.  Many times we dress our best for everyone else, however we should always aim to look gorgeous for ourselves and above all – our husbands.

How to Show Your Husband You Love Him

By

As new parents, oftentimes life revolves around our baby and we tend to devote our focus on our new addition.  However, we mustn’t forget to dedicate attention and love to our spouse.  Seeing your husband in a new light of being a father is enough reason to love him even more!  Personally, every time I catch my husband interacting with our baby boy, it makes me fall in love all over again.  It’s important to express love to one another.  Here are 3 simple ways I show my husband I love him:

1.  Cook

Like the old saying goes, “The way to a man’s heart is through his stomach!”  Honestly, I’ve never liked nor enjoyed cooking, but I knew my husband loves food (like every man), so on our wedding day, I vowed to learn to cook for him.  Suddenly, I discovered that cooking for the one you love is not bad after all.  There are several advantages to cooking at home:

  1. Control your intake.  Unlike eating out, you add your own seasoning at home and are able to prepare healthy meals.
  2. Learn to cook whatever you or your spouse craves.  Prior to our engagement, the only thing I knew how to make was eggs and rice!  Now, I can probably make a 3 course meal.  Besides, cooking is not as difficult as it sounds (my only exception is certain seafood like lobster and crab, but why learn when you have Joe’s Stone Crab around the corner).
  3. Save a buck or two.  Eating out can be expensive, especially if you’re doing it daily.

2. Guy time

They say absence makes the heart grow fonder.  Guy time in my husband’s case is soccer.  There’s no denying I married a soccer lover.  I love seeing how happy he gets when he comes home from a good game.  Whether it’s a sport or pastime, it’s good for your husband to have guy time, meanwhile, you can have a girl’s night out with your gals or do something productive like read a book or get a hobby.

3. Simply tell him, “I LOVE You!”

I say, “I love you!” to everyone I love.  My family and close friends can attest to this.  My parents taught me to express my feelings and as a family, we constantly tell each other I love you i.e. before hanging up the phone, we usually say, “OK, I love you, bye!”  I tell my husband I love him before he leaves the house, before we go to sleep, and a couple of times throughout the day.  I realize not too many families openly express this, which can be difficult to make it a habit.  Yet, it is so important to say these words to the one you love because they produce assurance, affection, and can turn any frown upside down.  If you are not accustomed to telling your spouse you love him, I encourage you to start doing it daily, and before you know, it’ll be a part of your family’s culture.
