I get surprised daily by the many things that my husband does for me. My husband does so much for me it is odd to have such a loving and giving person as this. Never have been married to someone that did half as much as this man does for me. Today we are stuck in the house again snowed and icy roads prevented us from being able to go anywhere. So my husand and I cleaned all day. Mostly cause we are worried about mom being in the hospital. Still waiting to hear something. He washed his tennis shoes by hand and then washed my tennis shoes too by hand. So how much would you do for your spouse?

If a man loves you, he would do anything for you...even climb the highest ocean or swim the deepest mountain....bottom line is he will do anything for you no matter what. You don't have to tell him what to do. He will go all the way even if it inconveniences him..

Hi, lizbenetua. I agree with you. I remember getting up at night and I was not feeling too well. The next day I told my hisband thank you for washing the dishes. He grabbed my waste and kissed my neck and he told me that it was his pleasure. He was very honored to have done this favor for me. I did not even ask him to do anything. He just offered. That made me feel very special because I was not feeling so well that night before. So, he chipped in and assisted me when I needed him the most.

Hi Lizbenetua. Oh yes but I have not ever experienced this kind of true love. This MAN is the best MAN I have ever had the pleasure of knowing. He has made my life a life full of love and respect. I can't brag enough about him. He will do something just out of the blue like today he washed my tennis shoes for no reason at all. I didn't ask him to do this for me. I usually put my tennis shoes in the whites in the washing machine. But he always washes his shoes by hand. We do for each other. We are a team (a couple) and I have always been the one to do most of the work in other relationships but this one we share in everything. When I wash clothes he puts them up. If I cook he cleans the kitchen up and vice a versa. He will need something and I will get it or I will need something and he will get it without asking. We can almost know what the other needs without saying a word. We enjoy all the same things and have fun together even when we are working.Isn't it nice to have such love in our lives. Hi Creme. I know what you mean it is nice for the person we share our lives with loves us so much. I am happy for you. I know how you feel. It's a great feeling!

Hi, free_man. My husband does a lot for me as far as I can see. He works so that we have a place to live. He keeps money so that we can buy things that we need for our family. He does his best to pay the bills so that we can have utilities running. He washes the dishes sometimes when I am very tired. One night he soaked our baking pan in some water. I got up to do it and he had already done it. He does many things without me asking him to do it. He washes our clothes when they need washing. He makes sure that my daughter has pampers. And that my oldest daughter has her pull ups. He takes us all to our appointments that we have to go to. It is so many things that he does for this family until I can't just name them all. I am very grateful that he tries and is not all that lazy. I know how you feel when you have a husband that does for you. It is a wonderful feeling, I can admit.

Hi Cream. This is one in a million. So I know how you feel. My ex was like night and day difference. My ex did very little for me. Actually I had never remember receiving a single birthday gift much less a card. This one that I am married too has made sure I had something for my birthday even if he did without. He pays our bills first and then he makes sure I have what I need before he thinks about what he needs or wants. He always makes me first on anything and everything. Oh yes we are blessed to have been given great MEN! I thank God daily for this man. He will get out in the snow and make sure I have a clear path before he takes care of himself. Yes I am very well blessed of God to have this man as a husband. He is greatful of everything I do as I am grateful of everything he does for me too. Isn't it great to have such a wonderful man in your life? Thanks for sharing and God bless you and your family each and everyday of the rest of your lives!AMEN!

Wow, I am happy for you! Well, as for me, i'm not yet married but I have proven how much my partner loves me.. I was confined in the hospital february of last year due to diabetes. she didn't go to work for three days just to make sure i'm alright.. she wakes up in the middle of the night whenever i need to pee in the restroom or if i need something really important for example, getting me food to eat, putting ointment on my back when i start to feel numb, etc.. she didn't leave my side when i needed her most.. she paid half of my hospital bill and bought me a gadget that will help me monitor my blood sugar.. you know, what i love about our relationship is that, it's give and take...i always let her know how much i love her and i always make an effort to let her know how much i care.. i always cook her favorite food, give her soothing massages, wash her clothes, iron her uniforms, give her simple presents(perfume, socks, hanky, etc), treat her to salon or good movie, etc..

Aww...it's so nice when men are actually thoughtful. My husband does a lot for me. Although I make the most money I'm home the most as my job requires little time and is a business. On the contrary, he works seven days on, seven days off, for a total of 70 hours in one week. Even so, he manages to cook quite a few meals daily and makes coffee for the two of us. He does a fair share of the laundry without me asking and washes all the dishes daily. He often comes home from work in the mornings (he works third shift) with little surprises or gifts for me...my favorite snacks or little knic-knaks that remind him of me. He also bikes to work not only to save money and keep the car from normal wear-and-tear but so I "don't have to drive him" in his words (he doesn't have a license). He's not the most thoughtful man I know...simply the most thoughtful person I've ever known. Sometimes I'll wake up with a card from him waiting to be opened near the bed...at times he'll buy me bouquets just because...he does so much that's not necessary but deeply important for the strength of a marriage. Like him, I do the same things...leave cards and notes for no reason...surprise him with gifts...just the other week I asked him out on a "date." We spent the night in our living room on a "picnic" blanket with sandwiches, board games, cards, and much cuddling. We would do anything and everything for each other which makes marriage not only a joy, but the most meaningful--and not to mention fun--experience we've ever had.

I will do everything. Even if he is mad or stressed out, I make it sure that he can eat on time, sleep on time and I even kiss him everyday. I want to do it for the rest of our life. I want to grow old with him though sometimes we have fights. I love him, he is the best I ever had.

Hi Friend, Speaking from my personal experience some time we use to forget the importance of our near and dear ones, but we start missing them once they are away from us. Also the real sincerity and honesty of a relation comes in to light when we are in a real trouble.Really we are lucky enough to have such a caring husband. Enjoy the snow. I hope your mom will return home with a smiling face very soon. take care and happy mylotting.

Hi Mutpal. It is important for both people to pull in the same direction. Mom is doing good she is home even though the doctors couldn't fix the problem. I hate the snow need to do things outside but can't cause too much snow. Always got a smile on my face. Happy my lotting to you too.

I'm not sure. I'd really have to be in a certain mood to really get into doing certain things. It depends on how bad of a day they've had and what types of things are going on in their life for me to do a lot of different things.

Hi Angel. I want to take care of my husband and hope and pray I am worthy of the love he shows me. Our motto in this life is do unto others as you would have them do unto you. And it is a great thing to live by. You can get more flys with honey then with salt. I have to be in the mood to crochet and to sew and to cook. I am lucky though my husband loves to cook anytime. He don't even mind doing the clean up after a meal. Sometimes he cooks then will clean up the kitchen too. And it is always a surprise what this man does for me. So I find it a pleasure to take care of him too! I have a great MAN!

Sometimes, it is surprising how much some husbands might do for their wives. I know mine does. He certainly does quite a bit for me. Today is one of my long days at school. Yesterday, he told me that he try to clean our apartment today and that's what he actually did. It's not the first time that this sort of thing has happened. Sometimes, he'll go out and get me a bouquet of flowers, for no other reason other than he felt like getting me a bouquet, which I just find sweet.

Hi Dodo. Isn't it great to have such a great MAN in your life? I have been married to a few that thought that I should run and take care of their every need, but let me need or want something and that was just way too much to inconvenience them. I have never been put first in any relationship I have ever been in. It is such a pleasure to wake up each and every morning with this MAN at my side. I love it best feeling I have ever had in any relationship I have ever been in. God must really love me to have given me such a great MAN!
