When I was younger and would imagine myself older and married with kids, I always imagined it a lot differently that what it really is now. It’s so much better than what I thought it was going to be! I could sit here and list ALL the Love Messages that my husband sends to me and how lucky I am (which I totally am), but I might come across as bragging. And really, who wants to listen to that? What I want to share are the things that my husband does or has done for me that make me fall in love over and over again. And some of them might surprise you!
My husband is one of the hardest workers I have ever known in my life. He is always going and says that he can rest when he dies. He works hard at work, home, church and in everything else that he does. I absolutely love this about him. He is such an example to me and to our children. He often reminds me that he does this all for me and our children, and I know that he honestly does. This is one of my favorite things about my husband and the most important Love Message that he can send to me and our children!
On any given week my husband will cook at least one, two and sometimes even the majority of the dinners. He is very creative in his cooking and is a great cook. But I don’t consider this one of his Love Messages just because he cooks. It’s a Love Message because he cooks more when he can see that I’m a bit stressed or extra busy and he wants to lighten my load. Don’t get me wrong. He really enjoys cooking (he really is a better cook than I am), but I can see that he enjoys it more when it’s helping me. I love that about him; that he is constantly putting my needs before his own.
We have a lot of fun in our family. And I have to give credit to my husband for that. He wants our family to really enjoy each other and have fun together. This is also an area where his work ethic comes into play. Sometimes I would rather keep things simple and easy, which often means things are not as much fun. But even if it’s more work, he makes sure that we’re having a good time.
He is good at making time for himself and time for me to personally spend time with friends, develop talents, and pursue new interests we might have on our own. He is always supportive and even encourages me to have time with my girlfriends or just personal time. He works hard, but believes in playing hard too. I am so thankful for this Love Message and know that this has helped to make our family a happy one!

Awww that is so sweet
He sounds pretty awesome. He would be hard not to love.
Be glad that he has inherited that “every second counts” gene…hard work & a “get-r-done” mentality really does allow more time to spend with family – quality time that isn’t distracted with a “to do” list because it is already done & you have his undivided attention. Let’s face it, sometimes being married is hard work & aren’t you glad you have someone who is up for the challenge & will do what ever it takes? It’s a great message!
Love this article and the picture. I sure do miss your family. What a wonderful subject to discuss. Debbie Sell
