Reason 270...
Your strong hands.
I have callused hands. As an engineer, it's commonplace to have little girl hands, but I like to build with mine. There are scars all over them with ashy knuckles. I don't know exactly why my wife likes my "strong" hands. Maybe it's because I fix things. I love that my wife likes the "manly" things about me. So often are men trivialized in today's society. It's not "cool" to be manly anymore. But I'm lucky that my wife likes "manly".
Reason 189...
How you always seem to make my day.
I don't feel like I always make her day. But if that's what she likes, then maybe I should try harder each day to do something special for my wife. She deserves it.
Reason 356...
You make fun of my sayings.
My wife, like any good hunky woman, has a lot of sayings that aren't quite right. She usually gets the premise correct, but sometimes messes up the wording. Sometimes these sayings become the NEW sayings. I love that my wife makes me laugh. And I'm laughing WITH her, not at her.
Reason 348...
You stand up for what is right.
Right is usually shaded in perspective. I try my hardest to do what is objectively right, from the moral compass that was instilled in me by my parents. I hope that this moral compass rubs off on my children and I hope that my wife continues to love that I have one.
Reason 359...
When you use words our daughter used to use.
Our daughter was basically non-verbal until she was about 4. In the time she was learning to speak she used many different words for everyday things or occurrences. "Storm" for store, "doo a day" for "good day" and many others. I still use them from time to time as it reminds me of how far she has come in such a short time. It keeps me centered on the important things in life. My family...my wife.
Reason 326...
You still loved me after I wrecked the Mazda 3.
I had my wife drive our awesome Mazda 3 up to the city of Houston to drop off a good friend of mine. Turns out that was a bad idea. She accidentally ran a red light and hit a BMW and totaled the Mazda. She was fine, my buddy had a sprained neck. But she was so upset and worried that I'd be super pissed at her that she basically went into a panicked shock and had to be taken to the hospital in an ambulance. To think she had any doubt that I'd break up with her or anything like that makes me sad. I love my wife (then girlfriend) and her health is the only thing that mattered to me. I love that she was so worried because it strengthened my love for her. But I still miss the 3.
