Post How is your spouse a blessing?
on: January 23, 2012, 21:42

I have been blessed with a wonderful, wonderful husband. God totally put us together. I am the kind of person that needs quite a bit of quiet, reflective time. With that time I am calm and functional. Without it I am prickly and hostile. So for the good of everyone my husband gives me that time, without judgement or resentment, sometimes while the littles are still awake. Some days I feel incredibly guilty about this, but I can't help myself. He also gets up on Saturday mornings and lets me sleep in, again to fend of the hostile prickles.

Anyone else have a wonderful spouse that supports you in the crazy times?

Great post! I definitely, definitely do; at the moment I'm pregnant and more mood swingier than ever, so I would prefer to come back and answer this question when I'm swinging low. It's easy to list his virtues when I'm feeling f-i-n-e fine, but when i'm feeling on the super hostile prickly side myself...that's when i think it would do me the most good to list some of the many reasons why i'm blessed to have him around.
"attitude of gratitude" is so important, and there's not enough of it around!!

Having experienced a bad husband....I was so blessed to find my second husband. My husband is the best, most awesome, and understanding friend/lover/therapist/sounding board/man I have ever known. He forgives me for my thoughtless and craziest moments. Some of these are more embarrassing and awful than I would ever want to admit. With his forgiveness there are no strings or later reminders with a malicious dig. The kids never have to pretend not to cry and I am very rarely yelled at. I realize the bar isn't set high. He is grateful every day that as long as he treats me like a human being I will continue to love him and believe him the most amazing person on earth.

After 8 years of atheism, my husband followed his family to serve a higher calling through Christ. He is my hero and I have been mercifully led to witness his conversion in its entirety. I am grateful for the simple covenant of marriage that binds us beyond human conceptualization. He has made a commitment to become One with me and that encompasses all I could ever desire for myself and our children. God is good...

My husband is the best. I was on bed rest for all my pregnancies and he took care of me and our kids(during the last one). I also have chronic pain and am suffering from postpartum depression. Paul, my husband, has supported me through all of this and takes on the lions share of work with the kids when I have a bad day. He even uses his vacation/sick days to come home and help when I can't get out of bed. He lets me sleep in on the weekend and gets up with the kids. He brings me home chocolates just to bless me. He loves me without reservation. He still holds my hand and kisses me in public. He makes me feel beautiful and special. He is awesome!!!
