It’s time for me to get a little soft and sentimental … you know what, I really love my husband. I really, really, love him. I love the dimple in his cheek and I love his bright smile and I love the little indentation in his shoulder that’s at just the right height for my head when I’m standing next to him and want to snuggle. I love his laugh and I love his kindness. I just love him.
But it goes beyond thinking he’s cute (which I do) or admiring his muscles (which I do). I respect him.
My husband leads out in spiritual devotion in our home. He encourages us to gather together for scripture study and family prayer every single day, from the time we were first married. That’s right – we started studying the gospel together on our honeymoon.
My husband sets an example of healthy living. He jogs and does yoga, drinks a lot of filtered water, eats vegetables and healthy grains, and avoids most sugars and fried foods.
My husband is a doer. He doesn’t sit around, thinking (or whining) about all the things he wishes he could do. He gets up and he does them. If he gets stopped in forward progress toward a goal, he readjusts his course, but he doesn’t slow down. He doesn’t just talk the talk—he walks the walk.
My husband encourages me. I get wild ideas sometimes, and they aren’t always based on the most reasonable of logic. I also get really awesome ideas that we implement and see tremendous results. Regardless of what I’m doing, he supports me. If I’m steering off into lands unknown and need to be brought back into focus, he does that for me, but he always supports my goals and wants to see my success.
No one is perfect—we all have habits to overcome and things we’re working on. But my husband is perfect—he’s perfect for me. I have found a man I can respect as well as love, and that will only make my love increase the longer we’re together.
