Consecrated2God -> Is your husband a lucky man? (5/10/2008 4:20:42 PM)

I consider myself a very blessed woman, because I have such a wonderful husband. He's a godly man, good-looking, helps with housework, very romantic, and a good provider.

Here's the flip side. Is your husband fortunate to have married you? Is his life better now, married to you, then it was when he was single? What is it about you that makes him so lucky? Why is he better off married to you than someone else?

Have fun, ladies! [:D]



zoebob -> RE: Is your husband a lucky man? (5/10/2008 4:24:32 PM)

Are you saying that you want us to say good things about ourselve?

I think this is a trick to get those with low self-esteems to find things to feel better than themselves.[:D]



Consecrated2God -> RE: Is your husband a lucky man? (5/10/2008 4:35:19 PM)

Hey, if it makes people feel good about themselves, so be it! [;)]

I'll wait for a few people to go first, and then I'll post.

I'll bite. [8D]

He would say yes. I would say......yes.
quote:

Again, he would say yes. I would say....at times. Maybe not so much now when I'm pregnant and cranky and not up for doing very much. But in general, yes.
quote:

What is it about you that makes him so lucky?

Well, I'm the cheese to his macaroni. [;)] You know the Michael W. Smith song "The Other Side of Me"? It's an older song. But that's how I feel. I'm the other part of him....he needs me, and I need him.
quote:

Same answer as above. [;)]

But if I had to pick, I would say I'm way more spoiled with him than he is with me! I'm a blessed woman.

Is your husband fortunate to have married you?
I think so. Not because I'm awesome or nuthin' [:)] but I think he hangs the moon, and so do his kids, so he gets a little self-esteem boost from us [8D]
Is his life better now, married to you, then it was when he was single?
He would say most defintely. But that is a little bit of a tough one to answer..the last time he was single, he was 15. He's been with me since...so does that mean he thinks I'm great because he doesn't know better? [8D] I'm not the housekeeper I could be, but I try, and he doesn't want for clean underpants, or good food...so that's good.
What is it about you that makes him so lucky?
I love him, and I am not the cheese to his macaroni, since we both hate cheese! I'm the sweet marinara to his homemade spaghetti [:D]
Why is he better off married to you than someone else?
I dunno...'cause God wanted us together and made us for each other..and that's good enough for me!!

My husband is so lucky to have me. [:D] When he was single, he ate his mother's cooking, which isn't nearly as good as mine. Her cooking isn't bad, but mine is better. I don't skimp on the good ingredients. [;)]

He's also lucky to be married to me, because I put his laundry away. Most women these days would tell him to put his own laundry away, but not me! No, he's lucky that I do it, and without complaining! So if he were married to someone else, he'd have to do his own laundry. I also pick up after him.

I make him look good, too. I help edit his letters, and I critique his sermons so he can do better. If it weren't for me, he wouldn't look so smart. [:D]



HomeSpunLady -> RE: Is your husband a lucky man? (5/10/2008 7:25:16 PM)

My husband is blessed to have me. I know he would say I am an answer to his prayers. He was about 30 lbs underweight before he married me. He was stressed out a lot of the times, exhibited by a nauseaus stomach. But after he married me, the stomach problems went away and he gained 25lbs. I keep a nice home and his clothes neatly cleaned and pressed for anytime he goes out. I am a good cook, but nutritious too. I love him and tell him about it often. And I often tell him that I love my job as a SAHM. I think that makes his day. I also tell him he's hansome. Well, he is!!

Wow, I guess that would be definite proof that you are good for your husband! [:)]



lil_gringa -> RE: Is your husband a lucky man? (5/10/2008 7:50:30 PM)

Heck ya! My husband is more than lucky to have me. I left the comforts of home in the US to learn how to make home on foreign soil, not many women would leave that type of security. Not only that, I encouraged him to do it. I think I make him look good too! http://i159.photobucket.com/albums/t158/lamujerdegar/JuniorsYJovenesAmistad2-06027.jpg
Our life hasn't been easy, especially over the past 4 years living out of the country, but things keep getting better! He's even recognizing that I make home homey![:D] And I gave him two great boys!



artemis -> RE: Is your husband a lucky man? (5/10/2008 9:06:27 PM)

My husband would say that he's lucky, but I have no idea why. I think he could have done a lot better, but I made sure I never pointed that out while we were dating [;)] Really, I'm the lucky one in the relationship, whatever he says differently. He graduated from seminary today and he bought ME a gift to say thanks for all MY hard work! Apparently, he's still under the impression that he married up, and I'm not going to tell him otherwise [8D]

Awww! How sweet of him!! Just with having my husband doing one class a month I KNOW that the wife sacrifices and works hard for her husbands school - him graduating now is a product of your love and sacrificing too, so GOOD FOR YOU! And how very, very sweet of him to acknowledge you!



3cappuccinosmom -> RE: Is your husband a lucky man? (5/11/2008 3:37:30 PM)

I do think my dh could have done better. I made him pretty miserable in our first few years.

However, right now, at this moment, I think he and I both would say he's "lucky" to have me as a wife. I make a concerted effort to be a blessing and a help to him.

Some of the ways I'm good for him:
I caretake him. He doesn't have to worry about *anything* related to the running of the house, or think about his next meal, or wash his clothes. He was single for a long time and he's very grateful to be relieved of those things. In particular, I am pretty sure that he appreciates that I get up with him every morning, to pack a fresh lunch and see him out the door with a kiss.

I have babies with him. [:D] And then I take care of his babies well. [8D]

Quite honestly, just from listening and reading what other women talk about, I don't think very many would tolerate his personality and quirks. [:D]

I believe so! No one else gets *all* his jokes like I do. [:)]

Well...I'm a fabulous cook now (wasn't when we met)...I take care of most of the 'indoors' housekeeping stuff (barring the trash & litter boxes). And...he gets to have 'special time' with me! Heehee [;)]


quote:

I love him like no one else could. I appreciate his humor, his love & talents. I encourage him (one of my gifts) like no one else could! I also find him the sexiest man alive, even when he is all sweaty from doing yardwork! [;)][:D]



HisCovenant -> RE: Is your husband a lucky man? (5/11/2008 5:55:40 PM)

Well, duh! Y'all all know how loveable I am... I always think before I speak and always speak gently. I never waste time on the internet. My home is perfectly clean and organized... and I never serve dh veggies that he doesn't like. [8D]

Actually, with all my faults dh does think he is lucky. I love him, I attack him when he gets home, I listen to him, I sharpen him, I take care of the bills and meals (2 things he hates to think about)... His life is better now than when single because he has a companion, he has someone to aid in decision making, and he doesn't have to take care of the bills and meals. There are loads of ways that I need to mature, but he loves me anyway.

Everyone was praying for a wife for him that could cook. I guess I can, we almost never go out!! It's come to the point, that, we don't go out because nothing tastes as good as my cooking!



Consecrated2God -> RE: Is your husband a lucky man? (5/11/2008 8:23:07 PM)

That's neat, Kathryn. [:)]

Here's another reason that my husband is a lucky man. He bought me chocolate for Mother's Day, and I shared with him. [:D]



HisCovenant -> RE: Is your husband a lucky man? (5/11/2008 11:03:41 PM)

Not only is he lucky, but he's smart, too! [8|]



Consecrated2God -> RE: Is your husband a lucky man? (5/12/2008 8:39:43 AM)

He's smart enough to give me the chocolate before the kids were up, so I wouldn't have to share with them, too. [8D]



Calea37 -> RE: Is your husband a lucky man? (5/12/2008 10:15:28 AM)

No, I don't think my husband was lucky to have married me and perhaps would have been happier with someone else (maybe someone more upbeat with more self-esteem!! lol). He probably wouldn't think that though because he does love me and I love him. But for the most part, no, I don't consider him lucky. [&:]



Consecrated2God -> RE: Is your husband a lucky man? (5/12/2008 1:33:18 PM)

I'm sorry you feel that way, Calea. (((Hugs))) Maybe you could cook him a special dinner or something and that might help you feel better about yourself. Doing nice things for other people can really be a blessing for all involved.

I think so! He reminds me all the time how lucky he is to be married to me. It makes me so happy knowing we really are perfect for eachother. I totally know that God put us together. I am not as athletic as he is and can't do everything he likes to do, but it makes him happy knowing I try my best to do what I know I can and never give up (though sometimes I really want to[8D]). When I have bad days (physically) he reminds me that he will do whatever he can to help me out and that he knows God put us together because he is very patient, loving and understanding. So pretty much he is lucky to have me because it teaches him to be patient, understanding and compassionate. [;)] And I remind him to not take anything for granted. I wish I could do everything he can do so when he wants to try something new I encourage him... he is building a cedar kayak from scratch because he is interested in kayaking[:)]. I always remind him that he is healthy so if he wants to try something new to go ahead and try it because you never know what the future holds and nothing should ever be taken for granted.

quote:

Is his life better now, married to you?


He says it is! [:D] He always has a clean house to come home to and has a nice wife who makes him delicious dinners all the time. [8D] He loves coming home to me every night and tells me that everyday! His eyes light up and he gets the biggest smile on his face as soon as he walks in the door. Makes me feel blessed and super loved. [:)]

quote:

What is it about you that makes him so lucky?


I always listen to him when he needs to talk. We get along very easily and have an easy time making decisions. I pray for him everyday and let him know more than once a day how much I love him and feel blessed that he is in my life. I can always cheer him up and make him laugh even when he has a very long, tiring day. I try to be the best wife and friend which is very easy to do. I also have a passion for pets. He does too, but not as much as I do! He loves how I do everything for our pets... especially when they get sick. I will get up all hours of the night to help them out and they are just animals. I will make them home made food to make them feel better. He knows I will be a good mom one day. [;)] He also loves how caring I am and that I will go out of my way for the people I love. He loves how I can get over things so easily and forgive and go on with my day. I am not a person that gives up and he loves having a wife that is very strong and puts God first.

quote:

I remind him that God is at the center of our lives. I totally understand him and love him unconditionally. He has never met another lady who has loved him like I do. He has also never met another Christian who was totally nice to him. He was upset with Christians when I first met him. He has told me that I showed him that not all Christians are in their own little world and that made him fall in love with me and not want to give up on Christians.

Well, most of the time I think so, I think both of us are blessed that the Lord provided us for one another because we are truly a perfect fit! But other times I realize I can be a selfish brat and I don't feel he's very lucky on those days. [&o]

quote:

Hee hee! My husband tells everyone he married up as well. [sm=icon_smile_blush.gif][:D]

I don't know about his life being better now as opposed to when he was single, because we've been together since we were 16 and 18! So we "grew up" together when we married a couple of years later. But he doesn't worry about having clean clothes, worry about bills being paid on time, groceries in the pantry, dinner on the table, his lunch being packed, house being in order, kiddos well taken care of, etc. I make sure he is very happy in . . . um . . . ahem -- all aspects of being married [;)]. He expresses his thankfulness for all those things. Of course everything I do I do because I love him so much.

Last night I was giving the kids a bath, doctoring our son after he got kicked by a horse, and doctoring hubby's thumb he cut awfully with a saw. All 3 of them were demanding my attention all at once and afterward hubby said "See, this is why you are the best mom and wife in the world". Awwww. [:)]

But I am truly humbled by the blessings the Lord has given me. I think my husband and I are very blessed to have one another. Not lucky.



42servehymn -> RE: Is your husband a lucky man? (5/12/2008 7:41:35 PM)

I'm not sure he would think so today. We had some difficulties this morning and I was just a few minutes late to work. I was quite upset with him and let him know it. That was 11:00 this morning and I haven't seen him since then. He won't be home until around 8pm. I'll have to come up with something that will make him appreciate me again.



Harvie -> RE: Is your husband a lucky man? (5/15/2008 2:35:27 AM)

When my wonderful DH called me tonight, I asked him this question.

He didn't hesitate and responded, "Lucky? No. Blessed ... and very glad I listened to God and married you!"

What a sweetie he is.

Please keep him in your prayers..... I miss him so much when he's gone.



Consecrated2God -> RE: Is your husband a lucky man? (5/15/2008 10:30:07 AM)

I bet you do, Harvie. I can't imagine how difficult that must be for you. (((Harvie)))
