BECAUSE......!!

by amani amr on November 13, 2011

.................

Years ago a suggestion was made by a member of the e-mail discussion list that folks should share publicly why they loved their husband or wife. The following are the responses of those who agreed to let us use what they said. Names have been removed, and spacing has been modified in some cases, but these are the original words and thoughts of those who wrote them.

I love him because:

~he doesn't get mad when I beat him at Jeopardy, even though he's really competitive.
~he likes to play "dinosaurs" with our kids
~he works a job he doesn't really like that much so I can stay home with the kids
~he looks good in silk boxers and tight jeans
~he knows the "ultimate answer to life, the universe, and everything"
~we laugh at the same jokes
~even after three kids and the wear and tear that has ravaged on my body, he still gets turned on when I'm naked
~he'll go without meatloaf for years on end because I hate it
~he's an absolutely trust-worthy man
~he isn't afraid to ask me what I like in bed and isn't afraid to tell me what he likes
~of all the women in the world, he picked me to be his wife and promised to be faithful to me for the long haul

I love her because:

1) She helped me through a very rough time, before we were married.
2) She accepted the fact that I fell in love with her at first sight.fruit
3) She fell in love with me.

5) She allows me the honor of making love to her.
6) She bears the marks that she got, while carrying MY children.
7) She is the most beautiful woman I have ever seen.
8) She is the world's greatest tease.
9) She accepted Christ as her personal savior.
10) She is working very hard, to be the kind of wife that God wants her to be.
11) She is working on the "Obey" part of her wedding vow very hard.
The list could go on forever, but I need to save some to send her later.

Too often we focus on the negative things! Here's a list of things I love about my husband:

1) He loves me and wants to build a family with me.
2) He believes in commitment and I believe him when he says that he'll only get married once and he'll always love me.
3) He is honest and doesn't lie to me or to other people (sometimes to a fault, but I am the same way).
4) He is real and doesn't try to be someone he is not. (Like me) He is never fake.
5) He tells me I am beautiful even when I think I am not.
6) He worries about me if

I'm late to somewhere

or I'm alone.
7) He respects me and supports me. He doesn't think he is more superior to me, but rather an equal partner in our marriage.
8) If I really want something and I ask him, usually he'll agree to it unless he has a good reason not to.
9) He sticks to his word.
10) He trusts me.
11) Before we started dating, he would drive half an hour (each way) out of his way to come see me at work
12) He loves animals, especially dogs.
13) He's okay with me looking for another job that will bring in a lot less money so I can be happier and fully supports and encourages it.
14) He doesn't smoke. He doesn't drink very much.

He doesn't swear in my presence.
15) He is smart and dedicated to his job

and is excellent with computers
16) He is a good friend

(faithful and supportive of me and his other friends)
17) He can be funny and we share a similar sense of humor
18) He doesn't like to watch sports and doesn't do things to make himself look more cool/macho, only does or likes what he wants to.
19) He loves me for who I am, and does not need me to change (he'll love me anyway if I don't change).
20) He will be a good father to our children.

I could write a book here, but I'll limit it to the most important few.

I love her because:

♥ She has great integrity.
♥ She loves me as I am.
♥ I can be myself with her (and only her).
♥ She loves me enough to tell me when I am wrong - be it a major sin or hurting someone's feelings.
♥ She has freely given herself to me sexually (she does not say no physically OR emotionally).

I love and want to spend my life with him because:

- He is a kind, compassionate man.
- He abundantly gives to others unconditionally, asking nothing in return.
- His has an incredibly good heart.
- He loves to play steamroller with our son.
- My happiness is important to him.
- We share the same dreams....for now and the future.
- God truly made us one when we were married.
- His passion extends to all areas of his life.
- He supports
