Reason 125, 26, 106, 255, 109, 163

Reason 125...

When you kiss my forehead.

I suppose I need to do this more often as I had no idea this meant anything to her. I don't do it very much and for no specific reason, but if it pleases my wife and it's something she likes about me, then it's worth my time to do it. Because that's part of what loving is.

Reason 26...

How cute you are. 

Come on now. We've covered this. I'm not that cute. I was a cute little boy, that's for sure. Almost as cute as our son, but now...ask my brother or my Dad...I'm not cute. What lottery must I have hit to have a wife that actually thinks this about me? Who knows! But I am lucky to have hit it, that's for sure. I love how cute my wife is, just as cute as she was in grade school. Especially when she gets huffy.

Reason 106...

The way you help me around the house. 

Most Saturday mornings I'll get up and clean the kitchen. Do the dishes, wash the counters and make sure everything is straight. I sweep, take out the garbage, fix the broken things, hang the pictures, etc etc. If my wife needs help, I try to help. But I'll be honest here, housework is a major contention in our family. I don't fully appreciate or agree with the amount she does. And that's something I need to work on. And I promise here, to my wife, to do that.

Reason 255...

I am just an ordinary girl but you treat me extraordinarily. 

My wife is anything but ordinary. Both good and bad. She deserves to be treated extraordinarily. I hope as we move along in this life and marriage she begins to think of herself as extraordinary instead of ordinary. She amazes me often and I am thankful that she appreciates how I treat her. She's my extraordinary wife. My love.

Reason 109...

For always listening to me. 

I've not done as well on this lately as I could have. My wife is home all day with a toddler, and then a cranky eight year old. She doesn't get to socialize as much with regular humans as much as she would like and sometimes when I get home from work I don't want to talk. I just want to be around my family. I need to do more to make this as true a statement as it can be. It's hard sometimes listening about something that happened on Facebook or a news story I have no interest in, but she deserves my attention as often as I can give it to her.

Reason 163...

I thank God everyday for you. 

And I thank God everyday for you, my daughter and my son. Our family is what keeps my spirit alive. I'm not sure what I was doing before they came into my life. But I know now when I am meant to do with my life. And my wife is a big part of that.
