Day Three of The Thankful Marriage Challenge

The days have gotten away on me!

I sit here Sunday morning with my “This is the day the Lord has made, I will rejoice and be glad in It.” cup of coffee not really grasping that it is in fact already Sunday!

There is much I could write about. Our Christmas Variety Show was last night and oh so much fun; I’ve got a million ideas swirling in this head of mine.

The one that is most calling to be put on paper is my third day of the thankful marriage challenge.

I should have posted this on Friday. I am late. The plus side is for three days I have been thinking of a list of ten things I love about hubby… is there any wonder it’s been a fantastic three days?????

So here goes my third list – if you missed it, here are my first and my second.

I find myself everyday in an epic love story; thinking about it takes my breath away. I am so thankful because……..

1. Hubby is so smart……. this is one of those qualities that can be taken for granted. Hubby leads our home with a keen edge of everyday life wisdom; this is a quality that is priceless and soooo important.

2. He has a mechanical, fix it brain. He can and will try to fix just about anything that is broken. He is incredibly capable when it comes to mechanics and household jobs. I SERIOUSLY lack in this department. Everyday this quality makes me grateful to have married the man I did.

3. If something means a lot to me, it means a lot to him. I really enjoy going to church, he goes with me. I wanted to put on a Christmas Variety Night; he not only helped me do it, but put on a show stopping act! Etc. etc. etc.

4. He is a VERY thoughtful father. I know I wrote in week one that I appreciated what a good father he is, but this is more than that. He rarely, rarely just reacts, he thinks about how our actions will affect the girls. This is how I was raised and the kind of parent I strive to be, but it would be an uphill battle if Hubby wasn’t with me on it.

5. He treats me like a best friend, confiding things to me, calling me when he just has to vent and I’m the first person he tells when he has exciting news.

6. How outdoorsy he is. He has opened up a whole new world to me, I am the biggest fan of kayaking, but there are many adventures I would never have had if it wasn’t for him.

7. He is so likeable and personable. I’m not the only person that likes him, but whatever social situation we find ourselves in he always finds several people that he can talk to and have fun with.

8. He tackles our life with a team mindset. I really feel like we are partners in everything. I don’t ever feel that it is him and me, it is always us and he is the one that sets this tone.

9. He has the perfect degree of sentimentality, he saves cards and letters and remembers anniversaries and events, but it isn’t over the top fake.

10. He is always thinking about me. Not to say he doesn’t do things for himself, that are just about him, but I know by his actions that I am never far from his mind… this makes my heart glow!!
