A Man of Service and Kindness

My husband prepares most of our grocery lists and meals. Not only that, but he will cater to our family’s ever-changing food palettes by finding new recipes when I choose to go on a diet on a whim, or alter meals for our daughter when she decides to try out being a vegetarian. He will accompany me to yoga classes when I have no one to go with and not feel at all out of place by being the only guy there at times. When the battery on my very peculiar automatic car keys went out, he went to several stores to find the right replacement batteries. Every time we go grocery shopping in the snow and cold he will unlock the car and tell me to warm up while he puts all the groceries in the trunk. Since I live far away from my family, he will encourage me to buy a plane ticket and take a weekend to go see them when I miss them. He plans weekend adventures that usually involve some unique experience that he picked out special, just for me. He never complains about me or talks badly about me to others and I often notice him “stepping out the spotlight” when talking with family and friends and highlighting me.

Until very recently (when it became impossible) he drove across town on his lunch break to have lunch with me at least 3 days a week, and very often 4 or 5 times a week. He tells me he loves me at least 50 times a day (and I’m not at all exaggerating!) and he is always available for snuggling. And he will regularly go out of his way to make me laugh uncontrollably. He will go to any and all extreme lengths, often making himself look absurdly silly, just to make me smile. I could go on and on about the many things my husband does that are special - he is just incredible to me on every level. He makes me feel like a star and keeps me feeling excited and so fortunate for being able to spend my life with him! We are coming up on 10 years together and he makes me love him more all the time.
