Time for a brag-fest!

my husband and I have been together for over 2 years now and have a beautiful 11month old. He is the best husband I could ever ask for. Everything he does is aimed to make me happy. He cooks, cleans, changes diapers (yes even stinky ones :)) He works twice as hard just to provide the extra things for my Lillybug and me.

Dear Kristin,

It's every little thing you do and say that expresses love in "his language"! Take note, especially if he ever mentions past relationships that didn't work out. Don't try to re-invent yourself, but if he drops hints about things he experienced that were wounding, consider these as special gifts and insights into his heart and soul. Keep communication open & honest. If something bugs you, find a stress-free moment to mention it with humor (if possible)! It's so often the little things that build up over time. Be sincere. And be yourself. In the very wise Face Book words of my beautiful son, Jeremy (20), who has recently fallen in love with a beautiful young lady,

Jeremy Manson in love. found someone i could spend the rest of my life with ♥

Amanda Austria hey you! just wanted to let you know what a fantastic time i had with you yesterday. I cant wait to see you. If i could i would stay next to you every second for the rest of my life. you make my life 100% happier. I wonder what ive done to deserve such a wonderful boyfriend.

Jeremy Manson know what uve done. ure yourself and do wat u want. i love that about you so much

I have more joy in my heart than I could possibly express that my son has found the love of his life! Believe it when someone says and shows you how much they love you! Even if it means telling them that their love leaves you speechless! Sweetie, the ideas you're seeking are right in your heart. Just open up and let them out!! ( :

I don't know what I would do without my husband we've been together for 5 1/2 years, and married a little over a year. We are expecting our first child and I never could even imagine how great he is. He has lunch waiting for me when I get off work when he isn't working cleans the house, goes to the store just to get me ice cream anytime, brings me home flowers, rubs my feet, tells me how beautiful I am all the time even tho all I feel is huge! He is the most amazing person ever and I can't ever find a way to show him how much I appreciate what he does for me any ideas?

Funny you said enless love, that was our wedding song. My husband works long hours, so he don't get to do much for me, but all the working to support his family, shows me how much he loves us. He did bring me home roses a while ago, for no special reason. Also when he goes to the store for milk or something, he usually always brings me home some kind of treat(something that i really like, but don't have a lot). We also always tell each other we love each other every time we talk to each other on the phone, even if its several times a day.

I met my wonderful husband, Paul, 4 months after his son, Alex, was killed in a fatal car accident on June 10th, 2007. The 3 surviving teens in the vehicle were critically injured and the driver was not expected to live. He lost his right leg at the scene and suffered permanent spinal damage. The doctors had to delay surgery because the boy remained in a coma for over two weeks. In order to save her son's life, his mother had to sign a consent form permitting the surgeons to remove his left leg. Two parents grieved for their children, one father in death and the other not knowing if her son would live.

Paul Ervin and I met over coffee at Borders Book Store in October. Our sons had all attended Myers Park High School together and their best friend's death had touched them deeply. During that first meeting Paul and I talked for hours. He was clearly a Godly man wrestling with loss, profound grief, and his need to forgive.

We continued to meet over coffee, then for dinner, and eventually I began accompanying him on speaking engagements around North & South Carolina where he shared his story with hundreds of teens, faculty and parents. As we shared this rugged mission together our love grew. In June 2008 we were married.

Paul is more than just the best husband and my best friend, he is also the greatest step-father in the world. His love and commitment to my sons is nothing short of miraculous. My oldest son, Jeremy, recommitted his life to Christ and loves Paul as his own father. He adores Jeremy and leads by his gentle humility, integrity and passion for Christ.

It has been 3 years since Alex died; he would have graduated with the Class of 2010, 2 months before his 18th birthday. Jeremy is in his freshman year of college hoping one day to work with teens in the fields of rehabilitation and physical therapy. He is in love with a beautiful young woman who shares his heart and dreams. Although Jeremy will never walk again, and as a result of his spinal injury cannot use his right arm, he has found peace and joy. You see, Alex was my husband's son, and Jeremy was the driver on that fateful night in June 2007. It is true that love and forgiveness conquers even death.

Sounds like we are all very blessed with our wonderful Hubby's. Me and My hubby have been married for 8 years now...it's all just the little things that he does, he always opens all the doors for me, opens the car doors for me, just the little things, but the major things that I really hate that I need him to do, but he never says a word but I love you. Since we have been married I have unfortunately had SEVERAL very serious surgeries. He was helped me in every way possible, from sponge baths, helping me to the bathroom, to helping in and out of bed or chairs, and for the last year I have had 4 major surgeries, and he has to work in the heat 48 hours a week and then come home, fix dinner, do all the laundry, make sure I am still ok, do the yard work, and he doesn't say a word. He does tell me that He loves me more and more each and everyday. Just like I tell him that I am the luckiest woman alive to have a husband as wonderful as him. He loves me for what is on the inside...the beauty of our love is mutual. I love him so very much and I do anything I can to remind him of that daily!!

Hi! Ok, I have to brag. My husband is wonderful! He's such a great dad. Since I'm working full time and he stays home with the kids, he does everything for them (baths, messy diapers, playtime, swimming, watching the same movies over and over and over again, etc) plus he cooks, cleans, fixes things, and still finds time to trade in the stock market. He still keeps the lovin' going on top of that, and wants more than the 2 precious little ones we have now. I am amazed, and spoiled. And he still finds the time to call me during the day to see how I'm doing at work. I love my hubby!

You've got heaven on earth!

My hubby's been calling me every break time, and before he leaves work to let me know he's coming home for the last 20 years. And yes, he still kisses me when he comes home, tells me he missed me all day. Don't forget the morning coffee... hubby leaves for work too at 4:30 am for the early commute! LOL

He sounds wonderful!
I want to start by bragging that my husband respect me, he treats me like a Queen, I get everything that I want (I sound like a brat, but I do) from books (I LOVE to read) to jewelry, shoes, whatever I got it! And to top that off…he aims to please in the bedroom, even after 5years :-)

Irene - posted on 08/03/2010

He would die of embarrassment if I acknowledged our love at his workplace but I love your ideas! I think I'll go with your idea of a surprise breakfast and note. :-) What is wonderful about your husband????

Samia - posted on 08/03/2010

God bless him to you i think you should reward him for that make surprise to him and buy him a bunch of flower and prepare breakfast to him before going to work with a writing note about how much you love him and appreciate him or buy him a thank you gift and send it to his work before he arrives with a love message wish you all the best and good luck:)
