This continues on from yesterday’s post about what I love about being married.
I love that when I have a problem or am trying to work something out, my husband is the first person I turn to. He’s always gives a listening ear and often helpful suggestions. Similarly if he wants to talk something out or has a problem he comes to me, because we are each other’s best friend.
I love that there is still physical affection shown between us. I love that when we go to bed at night, we are curled together and I know he’ll still be the next to me when I wake in the morning and we have a whole new day to celebrate together.
I love that we can talk about family, books, relationships, music and just about any other topic. And believe me some of them are funny topics, which are for our ears only.
I love that we go to church together and share bible study and prayer times together. That’s very special to be able to have that shared basis of faith and it’s the sort of thing that is obvious to children. We are thankful both our adult children also have a solid foundation of faith for thro marriages and they are teaching their young children as well. That’s what I call a real legacy to leave to family. Far more important than monetary things.
I lobe that sometimes we can sit in silence together reading or engaged in some other activity but it is a comfortable silence. Then one us looks up and catches the other’s eye and we smile and may put aside what we are doing to chat a while or just to share the moment before going back to what we were doing.
I love that we were always united when dealing with children and in our ideas and ways of raising and disciplining them.
I love that he planted sweet peas all along the back fence, where I’ll be able to see them from my study window while I’m working. That’s one of those little thoughtful gestures I love about him.
Enough from me. Don’t forget to let me know what you love about being married.
