See your not alone there are tons of us....I actually catch myself staring at him during waking hours as he is working away at his desk....and I think to myself "My God I love that man. He is wonderful, and he is mine....lucky, grateful me"

Who cares if it's sappy as long as it's true!!! Your moment is so sweet, I'm happy that you shared that with us. If more people took a few minutes now and then to look at what they have and appreciate it like you have, the world would be a better place. Thanks for the post!

my husband snores and wakes me up, then i think about how much i love him. we've been together since i was 13 and he was 14, seven years now and we've been married for two of those years and have a 7 and a half month old daughter. i feel like my heart could explode when i look at him.

Shannon - posted on 03/08/2010

I WANT to feel that way. I long for it. I know my husband is a super great guy, But I have such a hard time showing him love & affection. :-(

Shayna - posted on 03/07/2010

I do that all the time:)
I could probably sketch his exact face on a piece of paper in a none creepy way without looking at him lol!

Jenifer - posted on 03/04/2010

Absolutely. This is very common for spouses. :-) Nothing creepy about it.

Carrissa - posted on 03/04/2010

I do that all the time. We fight because he works and I get stressed about the baby so I feel bad. I will lay there in bed or just stare at him and smile because I know that no matter how mad I get, he will always love me and our baby so very much.

Funny story - I woke up one night and had that "He's mine" thought, scooted closer to him to lay my head on his shoulder - and he started scratching my nose like he does our cat! I think he thought the cat had come to snuggle! He was sound asleep, I was shaking with laughter. I told him about it in the morning and he didn't remember any of it.

I sometimes do it,and i know how blessed i am to have such a wonderful husband.I love him to bits

Cineca - posted on 02/28/2010

i think the appreciation we show our wonderful husbands is so important! they need to know how much we love them and would not want to make the journey of life without them!! so, i wake him up in the middle of the night and tell him :)

Jennifer - posted on 02/28/2010

I do sometimes.

Amy - posted on 02/27/2010

Nope not creepy. I like watching mine.... just then i tend to want to wake him up

Cara - posted on 02/26/2010

Oh my gosh! I thought I was weird or something! I've been with my husband for almost 10 years and I still do that! I am pregnant too, but I do it pregnant or not. I'll just lay there forever watching him and feeling like the luckiest girl in the world. :) I'm so glad I'm not the only cheese-ball out there! lol

Valynn - posted on 02/24/2010

I actually woke up to my husband doing that to me. Apparently he does this often when he can't sleep. I am blessed to be a stay at home mother to our 5mth old son so I am pooped by the day's end. When I asked him what he was doing he said that he was just thinking how lucky he was to have me and our son, and how beautiful I looked when I was sleep and what an amazing women I am. I relized that I am the lucky one for this man and I am the one who is in awe of him everyday, and after 5 years we still get butterflies. I treasure every moment of sleep I get, but if I were awake I would stare at him and think all these things too! Sweet Dreams ladies!

Jenina - posted on 02/14/2010

I feel that. I am the luckiest woman I know. I have a loving, caring, super thoughtful husband. He makes my day, minute,second. He is truly my soul mate. THANK YOU FOR MY BLESSING.

i stare at my hubby alot. i think it is because i still can't believe i snagged such a kick ass guy! today was our two year anniversary of when we first met and he spoiled me with roses, perfumes and more chocolate than i can handle!!!

Karen - posted on 02/13/2010

BTDT, yep. But, while I'm looking, I also try to remember to have a small prayer that he will continue to be healthy, and an active father and husband. {:)

Monica - posted on 02/06/2010

Monica - posted on 02/06/2010

Jooske - posted on 02/04/2010

I do this even when he is awake and watching television or something! He feels me watching him and tells me to stop cuz I'm being creepy :)

Maggie - posted on 02/03/2010

oh definately!! especiallly when he and our son are napping together...my son gets right in his dads face ..i've taken pictures of them asleep ..it's just so sweet!!! It's amazing how the three of us all have our own special relationship with eachother!!! Lucien (my son) and his dad are best buds!!

Jamie - posted on 02/03/2010

I don't think its creepy at all either. We all do the same thing with our children, why should it be any different with your hubby! Sleepytime is some of the only quiet, reflective time we get, so I think its pretty natural to think that kind of stuff then. My husband and I are only 29, but we have been through so much already. We met when we were 15, and have been together ever since, through high school, his dad dying of cancer at only 47, 4 years of infertility, me getting cancer, our baby being born so early and now me going through treatment. I am a SAHM, and while we don't have much money, my husband works hard so I can stay home, so I can go through treatment, and so my son doesn't have to go to daycare because he would be sick constantly. I've just looked at him while he sleeps and thought how very lucky I am many times, so no, its not weird!!

Shirley - posted on 02/03/2010

I've done the same thing many times. And I've caught him doing the same thing, too. He usually wakes me up, tho; I generally let him sleep.

soo, you aren't creepy. Or maybe we ALL are? ;) lol

Saba - posted on 02/01/2010

yes...lol i dont do it always or often but there are times wen hell just be laying there and i just cant look away...i adore him so much and truly think im the luckiest girl in the world to have ended up with him...and i think hes HAWT and so cute lol...and hes a deep sleeper on top of it so i start touching him all over and hell start makin these lil moaning sounds haha...k...neway yes lol

Heidi - posted on 02/01/2010

I do quite often, and he doesn't even realize it. Its nice just to watch him sleeping so peacefully, and wondering what he dreaming. Its the best feeling being able to watch him sleep and snuggle so close at night. ITs our time together whether we are both sleeping or just one of us. Many nights I will snuggle into him while he is watching TV and he falls asleep that way and I end up turing off the TV because he fast asleep. Come morning time he doesn't even know when the TV went off. What a man, but he is all mine and I love him dearly! ♥

Melissa - posted on 02/01/2010

I have not been pregnant for 7 years and I look at mine that way too. It is not creepy at all btw. It is a wonderful feeling, the security of knowing that you will be o.k.

Emma - posted on 01/31/2010

Wow, I thought it was just me that did that lol. Glad I'm not alone at feeling creepy. I'm 33wk on wednesday and last night I was just watching him and I realised how truly happy and beautiful he makes me feel even though I do look like a beach whale hehe :) I woke him up and I just told him that I loved him, all he said was not as much as I love you. I know we are all lucky to have our own wonderful husbands and fathers of our children, I know I wouldn't change mine for the world even in the bad moments

Cyndel - posted on 01/31/2010

I have done so a few times when I couldn't sleep, I'd watch him sleep, praise and thank Jesus for such a wonderful blessing. Grateful for any amount of time the Lord chooses to give us together.

Leila - posted on 01/30/2010

I do this every morning since he goes to sleep after me. :) I've been doing it since the first night we slept together. I get butterflies every time!

Ashley - posted on 01/30/2010

all the time!!! he is so awsome i just wish he knew it :)

Debra - posted on 01/29/2010

Yes I have and still do after nearly 36 yrs.together like Shelia my boys are grown and I do the same to them when I can I now help raise my 9yr old neice and do it to her at night I count my lucky stats that we still have a strong love and I have a great man who is ALL MINE! And I can just look at him and know he loves me.

Sheila - posted on 01/29/2010

Not only do I frequently do that, but (I am now an empty nester), when the kids are home to visit, I love to sit back and watch them all interact with each other and the wonderful man I married who they all consider their father. (Their own father passed away when my daughters were very young). My heart swells and my eyes often tear up just counting my blessings, even though I still think of, love and miss the man I created this amazing family with, I am very happy with the man who made us a family again. It's called counting your blessings. It's a great pastime I never grown tired of, and I am happy to say that after my first husband passed away suddenly and unexpectedly (car accident), I had no regrets and knew that we each had known exactly how lucky we were while we had it. One of my favorite songs is one called Never Been To Me and I listened to it often during the early years of my first marriage. Every young wife and mother should. It is by Charlene Duncan

Kristen - posted on 01/28/2010

i always do! my husband and i have been together since we were 14 years old, and i always look at him when he is sleeping.i dreamed about laying next to him sleeping for 4 years before i actually got to go it, and now I cant believe we've been together almost 9 years. Everytime i look at our baby i am so happy that we have eachother and he is with me!

Rachel - posted on 01/28/2010

I've definatly had that moment. Specially since I usually get back up after he goes to sleep. I have plenty of time to watch him sleep. Mostly just reflect on the last 6 years. How crazy and immature we were when we first married...and how settled and happy we are now. I am glad we went through our rough patches and turbulent times in the beginning of our marriage, cause now we are so happy and we appreciate what we have so much. I would be lost without my husband. He takes care of me and our girls and makes me feel safe. I know nothing will happen with him around...and if it does he will fix it. He works SO hard every day to give us a good life...and I am SO lucky.

Alexis - posted on 01/28/2010

hahaha..yes ive had lots of that..and all those thoughts go through my mind and many other ones...and then wake him up and tell him how lucky he is to have me in his life..lol...and he'll be u wake me up just for that..and i would say yes..and also how lucky iam to have you in my life :)

Jennifer - posted on 01/28/2010

Yes, there are time when my hubby is sleeping I do find myself looking at him in wonder. I love him very much. He is a very wonderful husband of mine. :)

Leanne - posted on 01/28/2010

Yup I have done that a few times. And not when I was pregnant lol just because :)

I have also woke up and caught him doing the same to me :)

Lynn - posted on 01/28/2010

i wake up in the night often and just stare at my husband and think about how sweet and innocent he is and how he is actually MINE

Sheree - posted on 01/27/2010

It could be your pregnancy hormones, but im like that with my hubby, although i usually do it in the morning as i usually wake before him. Its a great feeling hey :)
