Default Positive thinking about your spouse

Often times, as part of human nature, we focus on the negative in people. This especially becomes a problem when it is the one that we have vowed to love for eternity. What are some of the greatest things about the one you love?

Wow! You struck a nerve with me on this topic! I find myself sometimes being more of a negative woman than the positive one I'd like to be. And there are a lot of times where that energy is focused on my husband and his shortcomings. Not that I am perfect, but any means. !
I want to take this opportunity to praise my hubby! He is a good Daddy. He has a very deep, caring side. He is honest. He loves me, and that ain't always an easy task! I know he takes care us...with God's lead!
I am sorry that I am not always a positive person, and it is something I am going to work on changing. Not to blame anyone for my behavior...but I grew up in a home where my Mom was a very negative person. I guess I've picked up a few of her habits.

The thing I love best about my partner is his living, caring nature. He rarely says a bad word against anyone, seldom loses his temper, has a cute smile (I know that's not a charater trait, but who's counting!). He is alss the most honest person I know, he's funny, intelligent adn a great cuddler. He is infinitely patient and I wouldn't trade him for all the money in the world. What would I do with it! He lives in a house full of woman and puts up with us all. Although he does have a golf obsession, so he's not all perfect.... But that would be boring!

My husband helped me to realize the importance of letting go of all my worry. I love to have discussions with him on a variety of topics. We don't agree on everything, and it is fun to debate each other (in a loving way of course). I love what a good father he is. He is also a very caring person. He has worked hard the entire time I have known him. He is also someone who appreciates the arts, and aritists of this world. He has taught me about things that I would have never had taken the time to learn, if I hadn't known him. I truly love him.

One of the things I try and remember is everytime I think a grumpy/bad thought about the hubby is to think of at least 3 great things about him.
Today's 3 things for my hubby
- He does laundry
- He loves being a Dad
- He never walks out the door w/o giving me a hug

My husband is great with the kids. they love to climb all over him like a jungle gym. They each seem to need thier daddy time to play and rough house with him and he loves it.
He is a Laundry fairy at our house. The washer and dryer just seem to magicly get filled up!
He is a gas fairy too. I haven't had to fill the tank on the car in a long time!
He always asks me before making plans with other friends.
I'll think of more later!

I suppose I should reply to this thread myself....My husband is such a hard worker, he is anything but lazy. He has a strong desire to serve others and is always there with a helping hand for those in need. He is a great dad and works hard to provide a great life for his kids. After the unexpected death of his father at age 50, my husband stepped in and took over the role of the father figure in his younger siblings lives. They come to him for guidance and support. Most of all he is a wonderful partner who loves me despite my shortcommings (and I have a few ). And is my inspiration together with my kids, to improve myself each and every day.

OK,
He brings me flowers, and a seperate set for the baby.
An excellent cuddler right before we go to bed and especially before we start our day.
Seeing as I am a PITA, he has a lot of patience and is very loyal.

My husband never gets upset if the house is messy, or if there's dinner, or if I've done the laundry, even though I get impatient with him putting off his chores. And he's emotionally mature, and hard-working and laid back. And he's pretty cute, too.

My husband is such a hard worker. He is out of town most weeks, and on most weekends will drive 4 to 5 hours just to be with us for a day and only to turn back around and drive back to another state. He isnt a member, but he totally supports me in everything I do within the Church and he supports the fact that I am raising our boys as Members. And, he is the best looking guy around......
