7 REASONS I LOVE MY HUSBAND AFTER 7 YEARS OF MARRIAGE
Seven years….. I honestly can’t believe we’re celebrating our 7th wedding anniversary already. In some ways, it feels like we were just beginning this life together, and in other ways it feels like we’ve been together for at least 10 years! LOL!!
Marriage has taught me that most of the time, love isn’t found in the big romantic moments. More often and most important, it shows up in the everyday things….. the laughter, the support, the kindness, and simply knowing someone is right there beside you.
7 REASONS I LOVE HIM
So, in honor of seven years together, I thought I’d share seven reasons I love my husband…….
ONE ~ HE IS MY CALM
He has a way of slowing me down and bringing peace into my life, which I desperately needed a few years ago. Nothing rattles him. He is so laidback and chill, and his personality does a great job in counteracting all my energy.
TWO ~ HE TAKES THE VERY BEST CARE OF ME
Especially when I don’t feel well, he is always attentive, thoughtful, and genuinely concerned. He is incredibly sweet. Recently I had a migraine that was one of the worst ones I’ve ever had, and he was right there by my side. LOVE this tender side of him.
THREE ~ HE’S THE BEST COOK
Even better, he loves cooking for other people and bringing everyone together. If he can make you say, “This is delicious”, he’s a happy-camper! Every week he makes his homemade bread for our sacrament at church. He’s also known to make it for our friends and neighbors who need an uplift. This truly is one of his love languages.
FOUR ~ HE TELLS ME I’M BEAUTIFUL
And somehow, he always knows when I need to hear it. It never gets old! The picture below is on our anniversary. In his card that he gave me he said, “I love that you’d rather curl up in a golf cart rather than curl up in a book!” Something about that, made me love him even more.
FIVE ~ HE MAKES ME LAUGH
His sense of humor is one of my favorite things about him. Always has a joke or some kind of sarcasm. These light moments are so therapeutic!! His sense of humor makes things feel so much lighter, and with my personality…… I need it!
SIX ~ HE’S SIMPLE IN ALL THE BEST WAYS
He reminds me that life doesn’t have to be complicated to be really good. He has taught me all about simple, and our simple moments have been the most memorable. Like picnics, motorcycle rides, even going out for ice cream.
SEVEN ~ HE SUPPORTS WHAT I DO
He’s so invested in my work, my ideas, and my dreams….. and is always willing to jump in and help. He even brainstorms with me, and comes up with the best ideas in how to approach my projects. My husband is my biggest cheerleader!
__________
GRATEFUL FOR THE LIFE WE’RE BUILDING
And there you have it….. my 7 reasons I love my husband after 7 years of marriage. Seven years of laughing, loving, growing, learning, and figuring out life together. Marriage certainly isn’t about perfection. For me, it’s about choosing each other, giving grace, continuing to grow, and appreciating the person standing beside you.
I’m so grateful for this man and for the way he loves me!
