• TEN THING ABOUT MY HUSBAND:

  1) He's a middle/high school science teacher (and he's great at it!).

  2) He's willing to help around the house.

  3) He enjoys reading "geeky" science stuff....preferrably about evolution (blech!)

  4) He also enjoys reading fantasy novels, especially D&D ones.

  5) He enoys doing playful, annoying things to get a rise out of me--just to make sure I don't become too meek and docile.

  6) He was slow to warm up to this idea of me being submissive towards him because he didn't want me to be a doormat.  He married a spunky gal and want to keep me that way.

  7) However, he has learned that just because I am submissive doesn't make me lose my personality.  So he has been more inclined to take leadership

  8)He has since been convinced that marriages are probably much happier if there is a leader and a follower.  He is waiting for the right time to tell his friends about this "magic" secret to our marriage.

  9) He is the love of my life and I am his.

  10) Unfortunately, he is not a Christian but I pray that someday the Lord will soften his heart so that the Holy Spirit will work faith within it.

• 1. He is super handsome!
  2. He will happily go shopping with me!
  3. He does the dishes!
  4. He always wants to spend quality time with me.
  5. He has helped me find strength in me that I didn't know I had.
  6. He encourages me to do things, I wouldn't have done without his little pushes.
  7. He loves playing video games, but thats okay with me. He has really worked to find the balance in it.
  8. He works really hard!
  9. He loves our daughter as her own!
  10. He tries everyday to be a better husband despite our past.

  I find it hard to submit because sometimes I think he is making decision in the moment. I have to realize that a lot of times he has really thought some things through and even if he hasn't, I still need to follow him. He is always willing to listen to my opinion, which is really comforting.

• 1) He is the most genuine person you'll ever meet

  2) He's honest

  3) He's a hard dedicated advisor (he works for a large Catholic University)

  4) He can be really silly (I have a harder time with this, so it helps that he can act goofy and drag me out of my shell)

  5) He's wonderful with the kids

  6) He encourages me in anything/everything I do

  7) He believes in me like no one else has

  8) He loves to read almost as much as I do

  9) He's like a little boy when baseball is on (which is all the time at our house)

  10) He encourages our children in all their passions

• 1.) Most of the time he's very slow to anger

  2.)He's a hard worker and good provider for our family.

  3.) He's very intelligent.

  4.) He's actually a really good cook when he actually tries and has the time. :-)

  5.) He's a talented writer and has written me some pretty amazing and thoughtful poems.

  6.) He can be quite romantic when he wants to be (once he came home with four roses...he placed one in each area of the house where he wanted me to know he apprecaited my hard work for our family.)

  7. He's a great father to our kids. He loves to come home and wrestle with our boys and hold our baby girl. It's nice to see this tender side of him.

  8. He really does his best to make me happy even if I don't always notice it or show my appreciation for it as much as I should.

  9. Even though at times I complain about him being selfish...overall when I think about it and look at things I think he actually makes a lot of sacrifices for our family.

  10. Even though sometimes I wish we had more time to spiritually connect (praying together doing devotions together, etc) and I complain that he isn't as much of a spiritual leader in our household as I would like him to be.....I can be thankful that he is a Christian. I know a lot of women whose husbands are not saved and I know I would have a lot more on my plate to deal/struggle with if he wasn't saved. So I thank God that his foundation is still in Jesus.

  
  

  When it comes to financial decisions, decisions with our house, material things, etc. Most of the time it's very easy for me to submit to him because for the most part he knows what he's doing a lot better than I do and I trust him with a majority of that.

  Sometimes it's hard for me to submit to him in things when I dont' feel as though I'm being treated fairly. Or if I see him not stepping up and being a spiritual leader or stepping up to take the lead of our household. Some areas he takes control while others he doesn't step up and do what's expected of him. Also there are times I rely on him for something or he makes a promise to me and that promise is broken. So there's a lack of full trust in certain areas which makes it hard to submit to him sometimes.

  It's all a work in progress I guess.

• I like the idea behind this post. :)

  1) My husband loves my son (from previous marriage) just like his own. I know a lot of stepparents say that, but I am about to have our first child (36 wks along!) and he said "I really hope it's a girl, because I tell Austin that he is my 'favorite boy' and I don't ever wanna have to share that with another kid." (As far as we can tell, she IS a girl!) --- we have been together since he was 5 months old and he changed diapers and fed him and bathed him practically the second we met!

  2) He is so family-oriented. He is introverted anyway (which helps I suppose!), but he never prioritizes anything over our family. I never have to worry about him going out with friends like a frat boy or putting other things ahead of taking care of us.

  3) He is fantastic, awesome, amazing with money. I am pretty good with it, but he is an amazing saver and is really a good steward of what we have been blessed with.

  4) Every day, he makes me feel appreciated, wanted, and beautiful.

  5) He has taught me how to calm down when provoked by others (for instance, my ex) and when someone really gets under my skin, he reminds me that they don't deserve my anger or thought...

  6) He is great about helping out if I really need something for him. I love to take care of him and the house and kids, but if I get overwhelmed (as I did when working full time and going to school full time at once) he is more than happy to jump to my aid with no complaint!

  7) He thanks me for cooking every single meal, has my son follow that example, and clears the table on his own.

  8) He is absolutely, side-splitting hilarious --- and loves to tease me so I can fire off at him!

  9) He is one of the most intelligent men I have ever met... they say you should marry someone you can talk to for when you get old and looks no longer matter, and I know he will keep my mind working into our old age!

  10) He is absolutely amazing with children... he went through school to be an early elementary teacher (ended up taking a job in another line of work) and I knew he was a good guy when he met my cousin's 5 kids and within 15 minutes they were all practically hanging off of any of his limbs they could find open... which is odd, considering he is 6'8 and about 280 lbs (tall, dark and handsome!). :)

  Oh my...your whole list is mine except the first one is that my husband is a soldier and on the third one he doesn't read about evolution, but he does read geeky space stuff.  For number 10, my hubby isn't a Christian either, but he does have a Bible I got him and we read Proverbs together at night.  I am just amazed that while reading your list I kept thinking "mine too!"
  We are still working on number 6 too.  I am a mouthy/spunky person and he is afraid if he is too controlling or I am submissive, then he would chase me away.  I keep telling him I don't want to be walked on, but I enjoy some sort of boundries and I want to please the Lord in how He says a marriage should be.

• 1) He is deeply religious, I was the first girl he ever kissed. He's not as religious as he once was though but he still is.

  2) He has the prettiest blue eyes I have ever seen

  3) He is a wonderful husband and father

  4) He is very honest

  5) He is loving and caring

  6) He always tells me how much he loves me, appreciates me and says prayers thanking God for sending me his way & for our children

  7) He always helps around the house without my asking. Earlier I was getting the kids ready for our evening walk and he saw my son's high chair wasn't clean yet so he did it for me (just one example). He said when I got back he didn't want me to have to clean.

  8) He has taught me to have more self-esteem

  9) He has helped me become who I truly want to be

  10) He's my soul mate

• For me It was amazing when I met my husband.

  1.  He made me realize that I was a good person.(I grew up in a family that was always negative and full of insults, I was never good enough.) 

  2.  He showed me how to have self esteem

  3.  I loved his eyes from the moment I met him.  You can truly read into his heart.

  4 .  I loved that he supported me know matter what the situation.

  5.  Always willing to help anyone.

  6.  I love that we were blessed with 2 beautiful children, whom are my world.

  7.  I love that he arranged for me to be home with the kids, so I can see them grow, and not let someone else see all the milestones.

  8.  I am glad that he could over look the crazy and hard times myfamily put him through just to be with me.

  9.  I love that I can say he is the only man that I have been sexually involved with.  We started dating when I was 14.  (No we din't wait till marriage, but it has only been with him)

  10. I just love being married to him.

   

  This post was pewrfect for me right now.  I have been unsure of my feelings lately.  As we fight over so much.,  I have pput everything in Gods hands and I am doing the Love Dare and I know  in no time I won't have to THINK about what to write it will all come freely like it did when we first fell in love.

  I just pray that God can help me to let go of the things that have put doubt and distrust in our relationship.
