Ten Things I love about my hubby
My daughter Bethany posted a list of ten things she loves about her man this week on her blog, and she challenged her readers to do the same. I love it that she dwells on the positive in all areas of her life, and this is just one more example of that inspiring trait of hers.
It was so easy to come up with ten things that I love about my husband, Bryan. I could easily come up with about a gazillion more. Thanks for this opportunity, Bethany, and Gentle Readers, please permit me a bit of a brag on my hubby. Here are ten things I love about my man.
1. He is 100% supportive of our children and families. No matter what, he loves them all fiercely and unconditonally.
2. He is generous with his time, not thinking twice to spend his days off in teen driving instruction, household maintenance, melodrama set-building, chess-tutoring, wood-hauling, and tree-planting.
3. He is a tender and loving Opa.
4. He roasts coffee for me. 🙂
5. He still thinks I’m hot, even though we’ve been married for, like, 100 years.
6. He respects and supports my passions, though they’ve cause him tons of work over the years. A big family. Homeschooling. Directing a melodrama. Chickens. Our little farm. Farmer’s market. All my ideas that he has gone along with. A second chest freezer. Homestead pigs. Oh, wait. We’re not quite there on those yet. 😉
7. He is funny. He can make me laugh, and more importantly he can make our grandchildren laugh.
8. He loves musicals, melodrama, and all kinds of music.
9. He’s smart and well-read, and I can discuss nearly anything with him.
10. He loves Jesus and shows it in the way he lives, the way he talks, the way he treats folks.
11. He is a Good Man, and he is a treasure to me.
(Sorry, Bethany, I just had to add one more!)

Thanks so much for indulging me in this personal brag list, Gentle Reader. *hugs*

Awww you are so lucky to have a great man by your side. I’m still searching for Mr. Right. I hope when I find him, I can be as happy as you are years down the road 🙂
I hope so too, Lianne.
Amy your daughter is beautiful and I hope she has years of happiness with her wonderful man. Like your list too, such a tribute to your husband.
Loved reading about your husband 🙂
You’re blessed to have such a guy as a life partner I must say. Best wishes for future 🙂
Oh, Amy. #6. That’s how we ended up in Arkansas for four years, because I (born and raised in NYC who tried to grow lettuce on her windowsill out of sheer frustration) picked up a magazine one day and fell in love with the idea of homesteading. And my hubbie went right along with it! Now I have to make a list of 10 more things I love about my husband so I can include that story. Then you’ll have to write 10 more….This could go on for months! Your daughter really hit on something that got her readers engaged When I read her post I wondered, will anyone respond? I’m private enough that I wasn’t sure if I would. But it was so successful. Kudos to you both, and may she have many, many (at least 100) years with Warrior Man.
That’s kind of what I thought, Alana–I thought I’d better take pity on the poor girl and make a list, because I wasn’t sure that anybody else would . . . was I wrong! That has been quite a popular post for her! Our poor husbands, their very good natures (regarding #6) really come back to bite them, I’m afraid . . . *wince* I could easily come up with 10 more things, so if you will, I will! 😉
I like number 11 best of all. A good man is hard to find and I’m sure your unique attributes, and gentle personality brought you together. You are blessed indeed.
“unique” at least, I’m sure is correct, Francene. I agree that I am blessed, for sure.
You’re lucky that he still thinks you are hot. After all the things you’ve confessed to us. Hehe.
Okay, Francene, friends don’t point out such embarrassing things. 😉 hehee
Only 11? There must be more…
Nick, I fudged, it was only supposed to be a list of 10. 😉
Hi Amy,
Great share on what you love about your husband 🙂 Enjoyed reading!! You are very lucky to have such a wonderful man in your life!!! God Bless 🙂
A good man is a great find and a wonderful treasure. Thanks for sharing your hubby’s qualities with us.
I so agree, Mary.
I read Bethany’s post and already did my list. http://snarkymommawithlove.org/2015/01/top-ten-list-spousal-love.html . I loved her idea. Your man sounds like a keeper for sure!
I saw that you posted on Bethany’s blog, Snarky Momma. Your man sounds pretty awesome, too! 🙂
Amy,
What a wonderful list! All great attributes! I personally love it that he has a great sense of humor and loves the Lord, you and the kids….great to celebrate your partner!
And I didn’t know that you were Bethany’s mother!
Amy B
Yup, Amy, I proudly claim that young lady! 🙂
What a lovely and heartwarming post, accompanied with beautiful photos. 🙂
I could have written your list. When I think of my husband I smile. It’s always nice to think about why you love someone you’ve decided to live your life with.
