Scott and I will be married for 22yrs on Saturday, along the way we have had major "disagreements" but I know he supports me and loves me. Recently I quit my job, the working environment was just to much for me anymore. The way things are now that is not a smart thing to do, but Scott knew how unhappy & stressed I was becoming, he told me that if I felt I needed to do this he would support me and we would worry about the money loss later. I am still unemployed over a month later, money is a little low but Scott is still very supportive telling me things will be ok and I will find a new job soon. Doesn't hurt that my mood has improved A LOT and he is getting some of the benefits of me not being tired from work all the time.

My husband and I have been married for 25 years and dated 3 1/2 years before marrying. I love to read about happy marriages because I hear so many men and women complaining about their husbands. I love him more as roles change. When we became parents, I saw a whole new side to him. He has always treated me very specially and we are grateful for each other. We have four sons, ages 16, 17, 21 and 23. He always helped raise them from day one. Nothing was a "mother's job." We lost some pregnancies and he was so supportive. He brings me roses, one at a time, here and there for no special reason. He once attempted in our early marriage to make sugar cookies from scratch (they were thick as biscuits) an decorated the house with Happy Nothing Day signs. Our two youngest sons have special needs. They both have autism, and the youngest has other problems as well. He is a great dad to them all. I had to quit my high-stress job a year ago, thinking it was just too much and I would find another job less stressful. But instead, I got worse, and was diagnosed finally with fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue syndrome, and osteoarthritis in my spine. I can't work; many days I feel like I have the flu. He hasn't complained once about having to do more with the kids or work more. The money is surely a problem, but we take everything a moment at a time. Some information is too personal to share here about his devotion to me, but I know it and it is priceless. We are getting back to newlywed state with the kids in the Army, college, or busy with jobs and high school. The intimacy is wonderful. I feel so lucky to be his co-pilot in our journey. I prayed for someone like him when I was 15. I knew what I wanted, just not whom. I described what I wanted in a boyfriend, and shortly thereafter we began dating. About six months later, it hit me that he was what I had prayed for TO A T! I feel so fortunate and am glad to connect with other wives and moms who have supportive and loving husbands.

Wonderful story. Those surprise gifts are one of the things that I appreciate. My husband does things that he thinks are average, but I think are extraordinary. I was at a conference in Washington, D.C. and I left my cell phone at home. This was an all day conference and it was about a 45 minute drive from home. When I got into my car at the end of the day, my cell phone was on the passenger seat with two sets of directions and a small note that said, "in case there's traffic." I was speechless. He drove from home to my car and then to work, took the time to get directions for alternate routes and never thought it was a big deal. All he knew was the location of the conference, he had to find my car! How can you not appreciate that? He does things like that all the time, and I consider these gifts and he thinks I am crazy when I gush all over him about it!

My husband used to work nights so I had to transport the kids to school in the mornings and now that my husband got his shift switched to daytime hours he without asking just took over my role at transporting the kids to and from school so I could get into the office earlier. The kids dote on him, for good reason, he is the Best Dad and Husband. He's so thoughtful :)

Thank you Allison... and I agree with you... lol! I don't have any complaints in the passion department, I do hope that area in your relationship improves to your liking though.... I know they say that it isn't the only thing that matters in a relationship, but it does help out... ; )

I was smiling throughout your entire post, it is so sweet to hear about relationships that are happy and loving. Mine is great except the passion part. I like you have the moments in time where you have to sit back and look at how wonderful they really are even though at times they are annoying as ever!
