Reason 168...

November 17th, 2014

I have what my wife calls multiple personalities. I can be a guy with a weird accent who doesn't know where he's from, an old black guy with a down home accent or probably my least liked but most fun loving Carl. He's a good guy, just a bit misunderstood.

I love my wife because she tolerates these characters. Most of them are to entertain (or terrorize) my daughter. But Carl...he's for my wife.

Here's Carl building Mrs. Yimin a raised garden bed...he's a good guy.

Reason 173...

November 16th, 2014

when you're in a relationship with someone, it's important to be on the same level as them. Not just about the big things like marriage, kids and money but all the little things too. It's evident to me that part of a successful marriage is being able to know what the other person is thinking when they need you to. To be in tune with them. I believe my wife and I have that at least to the extent that we are successful so far. We need to work on it, but we do that every single day.

And that's what I love about my wife. She knows this is a process and she's willing to work on it with me. Without that willingness, there can't be a successful marriage.

Reason 2...

November 15th, 2014

Hey! Perfect pick, smile and smile.

I don't know if my wife laughs at me or with me, but I like making her laugh all the same.

I love that she finds me funny. I don't know if most people would think I'm just plain weird or just annoying, but she must get a kick out of it.

Reason 10...

November 14th, 2014

I don't have much to say other than I love my wife's smile. She looks very girlish when she's truly smiling and happy. I very much love that... ;)

Reason 12...

Hey hey! I have a black pair of jeans that my wife really likes because she said they make my butt look really good. I don't know...I think it's pretty small.

I love her ASS. It's really something special.

Reason 123...

November 13th, 2014

This is special. When we were doing our pre-marriage classes with our priest, he asked us each what we love the most about the other person. Christie said some really good answer I don't remember at this point and I said, "She's my partner". It's the first thing that popped into my head and I really meant it.  She's my partner in all things, she backs me up in everything that I do and I do the same for her. The fact that she's my partner is what I love the most. It is everything.

And that's why I love her. She's my partner.

Reason 118...

November 11th, 2014

Sometimes you just know what your life is supposed to be like. I always knew I wanted kids and a wife. My wife feels the same way and she's a natural. I don't believe in fate, divine intervention or anything other than free will and natural cause. But I'll tell you what, because I complete my wife's life, my life is full.

I love her for being everything that I wanted and for giving me children so that as a family we can be complete. We'll not yet...we'll try for more children...but for now, we're complete.

Reason 10...

November 10th, 2014

I'm a crier I guess. There's not an armed forces homecoming video or dog rescue video I can get through without crying. Whatever! That sensitive side of me comes out in other parts of life too, mainly with my children. I cried pretty hard when my son was born and I get misty just thinking about my beautiful daughter. And that's OK. There's nothing wrong with it.

And that's what I love about my wife. She let's me be emotional and doesn't judge me. She doesn't think I'm a wimpy girly man...she loves it. I think that's important for a wife to do and understand, especially if she wants a sensitive husband.

Reason 5...

November 9th, 2014

I'm the provider in our family. That's the way it works out. By provider I mean, I make the money. I am certainly not the only one truly providing though.

I love my wife for being my provider. She keeps our house running. Between Brownies, school book fairs and feeding a newborn she generally has her shit together. And I love her for that.

Reason 160...

November 8th, 2014

I don't believe in the age old advice of never commenting on the way your wife looks...or always saying that she looks good. I believe in being honest. So when my wife needs to change cause something doesn't look right, I tell her. Cause I love her. I want her to feel confident and sexy in what she's wearing and many times that starts with me. She feels attractive when her husband wants to sweep her up before we even leave the house.

I love her for not being the typical woman. She let's me be honest with her and that's not always the norm.

Reason 285...

I'm finally caught up. This last week I was apparently being lazy.

I'm not sure what my wife is talking about here. Sure I have dreams and whatnot, but I don't think they're all that special. I want my family to be together, love each other and always be there when someone is in need. That's the most I can ask for. Maybe I'll ask her about this one...

I love her for saying yes to me. For being my future.

Reason 140...

November 6th, 2014

This is just second nature to me. It always makes me laugh when my wife thanks me for getting up with our daughter on my day off to get her ready for school or for taking the baby at night when she needs a break. These things are just part of being a Dad. I wouldn't do it any other way.

I love her for appreciating what I do...even if it's pretty standard stuff!

Reason 166...

November 5th, 2014

I'm a singer. I've always been a singer. And not just in the shower. There's no place you shouldn't be singing! Whether it's being overly dramatic in church or singing the directions to my daughter when making waffles (or when threatening her with no TV for not cleaning her room), I love to get it out in song. This has definitely rubbed off on my daughter. She sings all the time too. Sometimes to herself and other times to an audience of family. It's all about fun! I guess this goes back to Reason 4. I want my children to know it's OK to be goofy and have fun, even as an adult!

Samesies as Reason 4. I know it's tough sometimes, but I love my wife for putting up with the singing...the whistling...the dancing. The FUN!

Reason 30...

November 4th, 2014

I try to boost my wife's self esteem whenever I can. It may not always seem that way to her cause I can really be an ass, but I think being supportive in any and all situations is important in a healthy marriage (no brainer). And that's why it's important for her to feel confident. Whether it's about her looks and being worried I wouldn't be attracted to her while she was pregnant (I totally was!!) or telling her to stand her ground during confrontations or difficult situations involving school or family members. She has to feel confident because she's a strong woman and she deserves to feel that way.

I love her for making it easy on me most times. She knows what's right.

Reason 35...

November 3rd, 2014

This must be a carry over from when I was a child. My mom always says that I used to play with her hair when I was a kid. I have a very bad memory but I vaguely remember doing it.

So, sometimes in bed (this may be a little too intimate, but whatever) when we're going to sleep I reach on over and play with my wife's hair and fall asleep. Apparently I'm not the only one who gets a kick out of it!

I love my wife for making me feel as comfortable as I did when I was a child. She's truly my other half and that makes being with her as easy and natural as breathing.
 

Reason 4...

November 2nd, 2014

I don't feel like I'm 30. At least not in my head. And I think that as long as you keep your mind young, then life will always be fun. So one of my favorite things to do and one of the most important things I think I do, is to show my kids that even adults have fun. That life is fun! So when my daughter sees me bust out a dance move or run around in a circle really fast to make her laugh, she knows that adults can have fun too. And maybe that lessens any fears she may have.

I love my wife for letting me be fun and childish, for not thinking I'm immature and seeing that really, I'm just doing what's best for our kids.

Reason 80...

This one makes me feel warm inside. I try my hardest to make my family feel together and secure. And if my wife is feeling that way, then she too can convey that to our children.  It makes me smile just thinking about it.

I love her for trusting me. For believing in me and allowing me to be our home. It's one of the best feelings a man can feel.

Reason 119...

October 31st, 2014

Whoa now, is this starting to get a little frisky risky?

I actually don't know what this one is about. So I don't have much to say.

I like when she says my name though... ;)

Reason 133...

October 30th, 2014

My simply amazing what?

I have a guilty pleasure of correcting my wife's grammar mistakes on Facebook. It's a dick move, I know, but it gets under her skin and makes me laugh.

I'm not sure if she was hitting a roadblock here, but I'll give her the benefit of the doubt. Maybe she does think I'm amazing.

But let me tell you something. As I sit here secretly writing this next to her as she sits there with a 10 week old hanging off her breast for the 12th time since she woke up, I can't help but feel like she's the amazing one. With the birth of my son, I'm seeing a completely selfless side of her I've never seen. And it makes me love her even more.
