10 Things I Love About Him

10 things I love about him

Today is something of a milestone – the hubster and I have been married for the grand total of 10 000 days!

And that is one of the things I love about him, as it was the hubster who realised and wanted to mark the occasion.

It’s true that he worked it out with the help of an app on his phone, but still, I was impressed that he even cared enough to check. Obviously, my hubster is not one of those men that forgets his wife’s birthday, or our wedding anniversary!

Of course there are a lot more than 10 things I love about him, but rather than keep you here all day, I thought I’d keep it short and sweet.

1 – I love that the hubster always remembers the special dates – anniversaries, birthdays, and so on.

2 – I love how he is a very affectionate person, like a cuddly teddy bear. (Can you tell my primary love language is touch?!)

3 – I love that he is a man of integrity – honest, true and faithful.

4 – I love that he seems to think I am the most incredible woman in the world!

5 – I love that he makes me cups of tea.

6 – I love that he loves to talk with me, and that offering me a cup of tea is his code for “let’s sit and chat”. Many women whinge their husbands are uncommunicative, or don’t really “do” deep and meaningful conversation. Thankfully, my hubster is not like that!

7 – I love that my hubster is a real handyman – and does a great job of whatever he turns his hand to – from fences to cat climbers, fixing cars and makes garden beds. He’s renovated my laundry, given my walk in wardrobe a makeover … all sorts of things!

8 – I love his sense of  humour. He may come across as quiet and serious to most people, but he is very good at deadpanning – so people often don’t know what to think when he cracks a funny! He has a very dry wit, and over our many years together we’ve developed many private jokes. Nobody else would understand half of the words or sayings, that leave us in stitches!

9 – I love his smell. Now that’s not to say he had body odour or anything  – in fact he probably has the best hygiene of any man I’ve ever met. But he does have his own scent, and I love nuzzling up to his neck and breathing deep. (Please tell me I’m not the only one that does this with their hubster?!).

10 – I love that he is an awesome father to our kids.

Of course there are some things that I *don’t* necessarily love about him … but I choose to focus on the good.

And how did we celebrate our 10 000 days of marriage? Well, I am flat out with work this week, so couldn’t take today off … so instead we visited the Old Botanic Gardens on the weekend – somewhere we used to go regularly when we both worked in the city, but hadn’t been to for years.

We also walked across the Goodwill Bridge for the first time, which is where the above photo was taken.

Now it’s your turn, tell me one thing you love about him – not my husband silly – but about yours!
