A good husband

I have a fantastic husband.. You sound as if you do also.. I have had mine for 43 years, (3 dating, 40 married).. I am not sure if there is enough room on this discussion to tell about all of the good things that he has done for me.. I will say one thing for sure, if you marry and expect a bed of roses, then you have made your first mistake.. If you are very understanding, loving and forgiving, you have a much better chance of staying married.. My husband has many, many times, over the years, brought me candy, flowers, surprise gifts.. He has also taken me out to eat on numerous occasions.. He has helped change diapers, do dishes, clean up after me when I have had the flu, which has been numerous times over the 43 years.. He has planted rose bushes, mowed the yard, mopped the floors, cleaned the gutters and the windows, grilled out, held me when I cried, cried with me, grieved at the different losses in my family, even helped to take care of my mother when she was so sick just before she passed away.. I have given all of these things in return, but that is what you do when you are married.. This is only the tip of the iceburg when taling about your husband of so many years, but you get the picture.. But he has also taken it so very good heartedly all of the bad husband jokes, just as he has dished out his share of the bad wife jokes.. He is not perfect by no means, but he is mine and I wouldn't change him for the world.. Hope you and your many, many good years together.

I, too, have a great man in my life. He makes me feel special no matter what I am doing. My family isnt the greatest. When we first were together he would come pick me up at my mothers. My daughters and I lived with her for a while. He would see me stressed out all the time and I was the only one to lift a finger. After being together for a little over a month, he moved me and my girls out of the house. His reasoning was that I didnt deserve to be treated that way. We have been together ever since. Every morning he wakes me with a gentle "Mamita wake up. or Good morning mi amor" He is a prince in a sea of frogs. No matter how many times I argue, or complain, he just takes it as if its part of life. I thank god everyday for giving me such a good man. I never in all my dreams would have thought that I would be with such a loving man. I never ever take for granted that he is mine. I only wish my daughters wont marry someone like their father, but someone like the man that became their friend.

My husband has been my better half..literally, for over half my life. We have seen and experienced so much together. We've grown together, learned together, and experienced more (I think) than our share, but through it all, he has supported me, loved me, helped me and taught me to laugh. He isn't at all typical. He is completely devoted to me and my needs, going out of his way to make sure I am comfortable, have what I need (and want), and tells me each day (at least a dozen times a day) how much he loves me. He has always had a good job outside the home but he has always done his part, whether he was helping me in our business or doing his part around the house. He's a good man. He doesn't raise his voice. He's fair. He's honest. He knows his heart and isn't insecure. He lives his faith and leads me in his attempt to always do what is right. He is a respected man within our community and many people know they can count on him when their chips are down. I'm blessed to have such a man in my life, one that I can call my husband. We have mutual respect, we honor each other, we compliment each other and we show each other how much we appreciate the other daily. We both sacrifice for the other, although these days, there's not much we have to sacrifice because we've leanred over the years what it takes to keep our relationship at its highest level. After all these years, our love for each other has grown deeper and been places I never could have imagined, all those years ago. I'm blessed to have him. Of course, now that I've bragged so much about him, he'll probably go and do something really stupid.....but......if he does, we'll laugh about it and just keep going forward.

i have a wonderful husband. I am a stay at home mom we have two kids one is in pre-k and the other one is with me. There are days that i want to spend the day playing with the boys and i don't get anything done. Dishes don't get washed or laundry but he never complains. He works full time so that i can stay at home with the boys he is grat with the boys, he treats me wonderful, we get along great for the most part but like u said we both have our days. If i get sick he keeps the kids and just lets me be by myself and lets me sleep. Even after he has worked for 12 hours a day he still comes home to play with the boys and after they go to bed we talk about how work was 4 him and what the boys did all day. i think that i am very lucky to have him.

My husband can be a very gentle man when he wants to be. He will text me during the day to let me know he loves me. And he truly thinks about the gift he buys me. I love him very much.
