I just love top ten lists and make them frequently to organize my thoughts, and keep positive. So, in an effort to generate more happiness in my life generally (a la the Happiness Project which I am now reading with my book club), and more peace in my marriage specifically, here is my
Top Ten Things I Love about My Husband
(in no particular order, and yes, there are a lot more than 10 things I love about him)
He'll eat just about anything I put on his plate, usually without negative comment, even when I know he doesn't really like it.
He's great in the sack. Nuff said.
He hardly ever criticizes me, usually only if I criticize him first. I could take that two ways, either I'm perfect (not) or he just doesn't criticize. An extremely nobel virtue.
He loves family vacations, whenever, wherever and his enthusiasm is contagious to a wife who doesn't really like to travel, ride in planes or cars, eat food out of her house or spend THAT much time with her kids.
He doesn't mind that I call his cell phone an average of 12 times a day. Just to say hello. Just to see what he's up to. Just because I'm bored.
He has a ridiculous memory for movie quotes, song lyrics, etc. It's highly entertaining to someone who can't remember a single quote or joke, ever.
Baby blue eyes.
A reasonably forgiving nature. Because TOO much forgiveness is not a good thing.
A kind and generous nature, especially to total strangers, which were I more generous myself I would find easier to tolerate.
What do you love about your partner? How do you remind yourself when you find your marriage in a funk?
I love Erich's smile and laugh! Some days I just can't get enough and a lot of my sarcasm/inappropriate jokes are just to get him to flash me that smile :)
ReplyDeleteUsually if we're in a marriage funk, we can just put in a funny movie, show, youtube video anything that we can laugh at and we somehow feel more connected.
