Today is no holiday for me. No anniversary, no birthday, no day of remembrance. But there are just some days when I’m OVERFLOWING with bubbly love for my husband I just have to SHOUT IT OUT!!!
My husband:
- from the day we got married, lifts the covers when I come back to bed in the middle of the night (when he’s fast asleep)
- has a lilt in his voice when he hears mine
- sleeps through my children crying in his face but awakens to my whispering his name
- winks at me and my heart melts
- shows his love to me by giving me opportunities to do things
- is very easy to please
- is not demanding at all
- thinks that I am a very easy wife to live with
- finds me MORE attractive (8 babies and many pounds later) than when we first got married
- is the most supportive person IN MY LIFE
- values my spiritual input
- doesn’t get irritated at my aging brain mis-fires
- is a wonderful, caring, loving and gentle man to me
I could go on and on, but you get the point. There are some days when I think of him and he takes my breath away — I LITERALLY gasp at how much I love him, how BLESSED I am to have him in my life.
These past 27 years have made me BETTER because of Kevin in my life.
Haven’t we had our struggles? Sure we have. But we have never once, no, not ONCE, considered life without one another. Our commitment and our deep love and respect for one another have held us together like glue. And as the Lord has walked us through our trials, we’ve seen one another there, supporting and loving each other through the hard times.
So today, I’m thankful for my darling, handsome and sexy husband. And each day together I continue to look forward to growing old with him, knowing that he is more attractive in my eyes than he was when he was 22. And he was gorgeous then!!

Thanks so much, Kathleen! In our culture of male-bashing, it IS a joy to hear when wives love and delight in their husbands. Congratulations to you too!

Hi Kate, Just reading your list makes me a fan of your husband and you. This is the sweetest thankful post. Thank you for sharing a bit of your lovely life together. My hubs and I have been married 49 years this month. We are just as much in love as the day we were married. Was it a smooth road the whole way? No, but that is what keeps a marriage stronger if you let it.Smile.
Hugs, Jeanne
Jeanne…what a sweet comment! Thank you so much. I’m so blessed to hear you have been married for 49 years and still growing. Have a blessed week-end and thanks so much for coming by!
Kate – This is just beautiful! You are SO blessed (and so is your husband)! I’m glad I found your blog (through Hearts 4 Home Thursday). You have a lot of advice and wisdom to offer!
My husband and I will be celebrating 10 years on Friday! I couldn’t imagine my life without him!!
Aw, Sarah, thanks so much. I’m so glad you came over to visit. Looking forward to getting to know you! And happy anniversary, dear!
It is a blessing to read about all those sweet demonstrations of love between you and your husband, Kate. I feel the same way about mine. Next week marks the 26th anniversary of the day we met, and I am eternally grateful that God brought us together way back when, as I couldn’t imagine life without him!
