What is your favorite thing about your spouse?

[missy]

OK fair play. Talking about what we would like to change made me think what do you love most about your partner?
One favorite quality only please. I mean I could list a hundred or more but what is your most favorite quality about your spouse?

For me this is a challenging question because it's not one quality it's all his good qualities. it's how generous he is. He is so free with giving and he is generous of spirit too. It really is a wonderful trait. He gives freely with his emotions (warm and loving and kind) and yes material goods which of course is less important but shows the bigger picture. He is not petty or mean or small minded. He is just generous to the max. There are so many other wonderful qualities but I asked for just one so will leave it at that.

Great question. I think we can include everyone who has a significant other in the conversation too. I love that my husband is always on my team and I am on his. If we have a difference of opinion we sort it out behind closed doors and not in front of others. If one of us makes a mistake we choose to try to solve it instead of lay blame.

I love that my husband holds my opinions in high regards. I frequently hear him on the phone letting his friends know my take on whatever they are discussing. In a good way. I sometimes wonder if they get sick of hearing my opinions because IMHO he spends too much time talking about me. But it is an ego booster. He's my person. Love at first sight for both of us which I never believed would have happened until I first saw him.

Yes agree on all counts. If you read my first sentence in the post I wrote “partner “
And I feel the same way. Having each other’s back. Being one’s soft place to fall. It’s everything. Great answer

Sorry Missy if that came off as scolding which I did not mean at all. My reading skills were a bit lacking this morning.

Aww no. I just felt bad if you thought I left out people. I should have included it in the title. It’s my fault.
Next time for sure

You are always so nice. My brain went to the couple next door, and honestly, sometimes it's just a stream of consciousness that doesn't serve me well when I reply to things without taking the time to fully read them. I will do better.

My husband is very accepting. I can share anything with him and know I won't be judged or criticized for it.

 

[Begonia]

He's patient and calm. So patient.

He restored my relationship with mankind. After being raised by an abusive father, I had significant trust issues. My healing relationship with DH lead to being able to raise 2 sons with love and acceptance (and even wonder at times).

 

[Avondale]

It's quite simple, really.

He is the one human being I trust most in this world.

There are many good things about him. But this is the one thing no one else has and the reason I'm still married to him.

 

[Daisys and Diamonds]

this is so major its huge
he let me get a cat -Tinky
and he keeps letting us get cats even when he says this is the last one when they pass away
then Borris
then Tibby
then the Fluffa Duffa
then Puff Ball and Sox when the SPCA would not take them

HI:

DH is artistic. He makes hand made cards for me and draws cute and funny things on them. I haven't had a store bought card in years--and I am glad!

cheers--Sharon

[stracci2000]

My DH lets me be me.
He indulges all my messy artistic or crafty endeavors. If I tear up the house, it's ok with him.
He never tried to change me, and he never criticizes.

His heart.

 

[mellowyellowgirl]

Oh my goodness what ISN’T my favourite thing about that boy!!!!!???

Honestly we’ve been together since 19 and I’m still chasing him around like a shameless hussy! He’s just so dependable, solid, stable and affectionate, and all this drives me mental in the best of ways! I get a huge kick out of the way he reacts to my shenanigans.

Is this one of those family-friendly forums?

 

[OreoRosies86]

He is the funniest person I’ve ever met, his wit is sharp and keen and lightning fast. This makes for an amusing and much happier life together.

He also encourages my jewelry hoarding to the point I’d (almost) say he enables me

 

[Rebel Rebel]

I can't choose one, but can narrow it a bit after 42 years.

My husband was a semi-pro athlete and he's still hot.

We suffered an immense loss and are still strong together.

He doesn't care about money, never questions extravagances.

And, finally, we have achieved the thermostat balance of happiness.

LOL. The VD card he made me is so silly. Cut and pasted old photos and put it together and printed it out. And I have a bacon cheeseburger coming my way!
