Why My Marriage Just Keeps Getting Better {& Link Up Party}

It’s interesting how the things we think to be most insignificant are the very things that end up meaning the most. When I began keeping a list of all the reasons I love my husband, I didn’t realize the impact it would have on my marriage and our relationship.

I didn’t know I’d find myself in the car, typing in notes on my iPhone every time he did something that made me smile. When he’s walking around the house, just being himself, I now pay closer attention to all the things he does for me; all those things that I may have missed or taken for granted before. I didn’t look at them as “extraordinary” acts of kindness until I really began paying attention.

It reminds me of a time I bought some prescription glasses (before I had Lasik 8 years ago) that turned into sunglasses when I was outside. There was nothing special about these glasses other than a slight green tint on that made me feel oh’ so chic when I wore them. So every time I’d look at a tree, leaves, grass, etcetera they would look perfectly green. If I took the glasses off, I might see a bit of brown in the grass but with the glasses on, I could only see deep green pastures.

That’s what it’s been like since I began making my list. Keith has flaws (shhhh…don’t tell him I told you) but they’ve become like those brown patches of grass with my green tinted shades on. I know they’re there but I simply can’t see them. Instead, I see all that is good, all that is wonderful, all that is oh’ so very him…

Until tomorrow…make it a great day!

Why I Love My Husband (the never-ending list):

117. He knows the passwords to all my social networks, email, cell phone, etcetera and never feels the need to use them. Why would he? He simply trusts me.

118. I trust him. And he’s continuously shown himself to be trustworthy.

119. He loves his mama (a plus in my book for sure).

120. He loves my mama (and treats her like his very own).

121. He knows I’m not a huge fan of cooking so he tends to make his own meals (but when I offer, he’s always very happy to receive).

122. He’s a strong man. I always feel safe, protected, and invincible when he is around.
