My husband is an extremely hard worker. He works from early morning (7am)till late evening (8pm)just so his family has the option to homeschool and so that I can stay home with them. He is resourceful and very talented in his profession as an auto restorer.

I’m not much of a ranter but I really need to practice bragging on my man. One of his biggest talents is that he’s very creative. I know he could build anything he put his mind to and he would find all the ways to cut back on costs without sacrificing it’s stability. He’s very smart and can learn anything he puts his mind to. I’ve seen him struggle with things but he pulled through. I also really admire his character. He’s the sweetest man I’ve ever met. He sees people in need and just jumps in. He’s honest and I love the way he reads people. He can be stuck in an unsavory crowd and not fit in without stepping on anyone’s toes. I know I’m incredibly lucky and he inspires me to be a better person. I really appreciate your blog btw and I’m so glad I’ve found it. I’m going to keep looking around…

My husband NEVER leaves cabinet doors open, and I ALWAYS do, and he NEVER jokes about that with his friends!

My husband is everything I need in a husband, and I’m so thankful at how God has provided for me by matching us up.

If you ever have the chance to attend a Love and Respect seminar or to watch the DVD’s by Emerson and Sarah Eggerich, do it!!! My husband and I just watched the DVD’s with our church and it is extremely beneficial.

This was great to read! I definitely find it easy to get swept away in the venting-about-my-husband sessions over coffee with girlfriends….I read a book last summer called “Words Begin in our Hearts: What God Says About What We Say” by Rhonda Webb and it inspired me to speak slowly and open my mouth in wisdom!

Mike and I are married 29 years, plus we dated 9 years prior to that, so we’re together nearly 40 years. (I’m 54, for the record.) It was established long ago that there would be little or no mean-spirited teasing or putting down. I just don’t get these couples who have nothing nice to say about each other. They disguise tension in their marriage with sharp humor. “I’m with Stupid” shirts make me cringe, btw. Uh…this is supposed to be the person you married because you loved her/him? Of course we have our disagreements, but I can count the big ones on one hand and still have at least a finger and a thumb left over.
I guess I’m saying we just plain NICE to each other, LOL! Nice leads to wanting to be together, which leads to…never mind, you know. I’m still romantically in love with the guy!

Oh my . . . God spoke directly to me through this post this morning . . .
Thank you.
Usually I am very aware of my attitude sets the tone in my home and my relationship with my husband of 21 years.
Lastnight we were out with business friends of his, people I know and really like.
But my husband did a couple of things that ticked me off.
I have been creating the scenerio in my mind how I would tell him about it all morning. Thank for remind me instead to thank him for including me in the evening out.

you’re so right. a lot of times i catch myself saying or acting in a way that is not respectful towards him. i do need to watch how i respond to him and how i treat him in front of others. thank you for this reminder!

My husband is just right for me. He’s not perfect, but God sure knew what He was doing when he put us together. One of the things I love about our relationship is seeing how his strengths complement my weaknesses, and vice versa. My husband is patient, hard working, and very empathetic, he has a very strong sense of what is right, and will do so even is it’s not easy. He will call a radio station, wait patiently to speak with someone, and then inform that person that he doesn’t appreciate the advertisements by exploitative corporations like Monsanto. I love and respect him because of all this and more. :)
