We've been married for 24 years. That's quite an accomplishment these days.
* He turns wrenches, banging his knuckles all day, to provide a living for us so I can stay home and do what I do.
(That's why I love his hands. There's full of scars to remind me.)
* He comes in from a hard day in the heat or cold with a smile on his face and a
"Hi, Pretty Woman!!" on his lips. He says this whether I look good or not, whether the house is a disaster or clean....
* If he has to drive a long distance to pick up a broken down truck he will call and talk to me. (That's why I decided the cell phones were worth it.)
* He completely checks out the car for me before I go on a long trip without him.
* He will listen to my advice and tell me he's sorry if he didn't take my advice and things turned out badly.
* He holds my hand in public.
* He lets me buy all the chocolate chips I want. (That's a whole other story.)
* He buys me chocolate.
* He's a big strong guy who sometimes gets misty-eyed during sad parts of a movie.
* He teases about all the plants I have but he will bring me one home just the same.
* He's willing to play "banker" while we play Monopoly even though he doesn't really like to play board games.
* On his day off he sometimes makes me go take a nap in the middle of the day if I've been up too late.
* He pays all the bills and doesn't yell at me if I forget to bring in the bills/mail from my car and he's wondering for days where they are. (I've done that more than once)
* He eats whatever I put in front of him even if he sees I've hidden broccoli in it.
* He digs the gross hair clogs out of the drain for me 'cause he knows it makes me sick.
* Every evening when he shaves he washes out the sink so I don't have to clean up his beard hairs.
* He shaves just for me.
* He makes extra coffee for me.
* He cooks my steak just the way I like it.
* He is a manly, godly example to our son and our nephews.
* He supports and encourages me with homeschooling and my business.
* He prays for me.
