Reason 216...
The way you hold me.
We don't get to spend as much time "together" as we used to. Kids, chores, dogs, life...it all gets in the way. I want to make a promise to my wife that at least once a week we'll spend time in CPC on the couch. We both need it.
Reason 353...
Your not a people person.
This is another fib. My wife wishes I was more "social." I'm not. Probably never will be. I am too much like my Dad in that way. I don't necessarily think it's a good thing, but it could be worse. I love that my wife wants to be a people person. But she isn't either. But I'll tell you what. When we go somewhere together, for whatever reason, we're the focus. Who knows why. But I love that about us.
Reason 323...
How you tease me about Carrick.
My wife is from Overbrook and went to Carrick high school. It's not a ghetto, but it's part of the city. People from Carrick are known to be a little...rough around the edges. I'm from Baldwin, not to far from Carrick, but definitely not in the city. I grew up knowing Carrick as a rough around the edges place so I usually tease my wife about it. All in good fun....but it's pretty true. I love exactly who she is and that's why I tease her about it.
Reason 335...
I'm more romantic because of you.
Building on the above reason, I don't think my wife was treated the most romantic being from Carrick. I'm not that romantic either to be honest, but my wife deserves to be treated romantically so I try as hard as I can. As different as we are, we're very much the same in many ways. I think we're both more romantic because of each other. Our love has changed us both for the good and it continues to this day.
Reason 73...
Your goals.
Relationship goals! I see these stupid memes from time to time with a couple doing something cute or fun with a caption of relationship goals. It's all millennial bullshit. Real goals are putting food on the table, raising good kids and loving forever. Putting someone's best interest above yours is the ultimate reflection of your love for them. My main goal is to love my family as honestly and fiercely as I can. I love that my wife sees that in my and agrees with it. She was my goal when we first started dating.
Reason 244...
You make my day better.
Repeat. This must have been hard!
