1,823 Days Ago

To continue the celebration of our almost-five years of marriage, I present a list of things about my husband that I enjoy (in no particular order):

• He washes dishes after I make a mess by cooking.
• He is quick to confess sin.
• At 6'4", he is tall enough that I can wear heels.
• He has a riotous, often dry sense of humor.
• He excels at making strangers comfortable through conversation.
• He gives me frequent and lengthy massages.
• He prioritizes our marriage over everything else.
• He takes daily time with the Lord seriously.
• He comforts me when I cry.
• Children love him because he knows how to have fun with them.
• He serves others eagerly.
• He loves nature, especially trees, and causes me to see created beauty that I would often otherwise overlook.
• He almost always lets me pick the movie.
• Every day when we sit down to dinner, he asks me about my devotional time.
• When I don't like something he is wearing and ask him to change, he does so willingly.
• If I am busily scurrying around, he loves to stop me in my tracks to hug and kiss me.
• He gently challenges me when I sin.
• He faithfully applies teaching from God's Word and diligently pursues spiritual growth.
• When he travels for work, he calls me every day.
• He kills all the nasty bugs in our apartment, but he always apologizes to them when he does so.
• If I have trouble falling asleep, he runs his fingers through my hair to soothe me.
• He makes me coffee in the morning.
• He appreciates music and art.
• He collects an assortment of really random facts.
• Though he can't always find the right words, he wants me to know his heart.

My time is short, so I'll stop the list here; I'd really never have enough time to share all the ways I love my husband!
