I often feel like I have the best husband in the world when I hear other wives complain. Like yours mine is very even tempered. It makes it really difficult to have an argument with him...especially when I'm PMSing and need a little arguing! Even though he goes to many conferences a year there is no doubt in my mind that he is faithful. It's just not in his makeup to cheat. He won't even tell a little white lie or what he calls my "I Love Lucy lies". He is so honest...he just makes me a better person. My sister says I got the last good man on earth. I doubt that, but they can be hard to find and boy when you get one you just gotta hold on for dear life! He sounds great!

At first it drove me crazy. Now he's learned not to let me bowl him over, which I can definately try to do sometimes. I like his work ethic. I don't know how he has the energy to labor all day (he has a physical job, making cabinetry) and still come home and play with the kids and be the best dad ever. Meanwhile I feel like a wuss because after a full day of housework and kids, I'm ready to throw in the towel early. My husband is Mr. Mellow as well. At first it drove me crazy.

Having a loving husband is one of the greatest treasures in life. I'm also blessed with a good and loving man. Several months ago, we attended a reunion of my friends. Everyone was doing immaculately well. I thought all my friends were happy since their businesses are thriving. But when the girls were alone, I realized wealth does not always equate to happiness. Some of them complained how their husbands barely had time for them. One of my friends complained that her husband is too strict and she can barely enjoy any freedom like going out with friends and enjoying a sport. He just wants her home all the time. I realized, we may not be able to go to on luxury trips in different parts of the world nor can I buy designer bags and shoes any time I want to (have to save first to get what I want) but I'm happy with my relationship with my husband. He is a family man. He gives us priority over everything else. He loves to cook for us. He doesn't complain that I don't know how to cook and terrible at household chores. He loves me and our son.

So many things make my hubby awesome! I'm not sure where to start. He is patient with my mistakes. He takes such good care of myself and the kids. He trusts me to make smart decisions and rarely questions them ;) He wants what is best for our family. I could go on and on ... Your hubby sounds like a great man!

I think your hubby gets the husband of the day award. You definitely have a keeper. Good for you! My husband is usually pretty good with our daughter, which says a lot considering her tantrums and behavioral problems. He has a great bond with her. Every night he reads her children's bible with her and prays. She'll be thankful for these special times some day. Ding, ding, ding. I think your hubby gets the husband of the day award.

He does help with a couple housework chores, he cleans the bathrooms, and does his laundry, and helps me cook dinner sometimes. His best attribute would be he's a mister fix it. He's saved us so much by being a mechanic, he's fixed my dishwasher, my washer,and my dryer. He's done our home improvements. He's a keeper. The only thing we are different, I'm more even tempered, and he's the impatient one. He still hasn't learned to share, but he knows what makes me happy.

He mows the lawn, tends the trees and shrubs and he encourages me to explore my passion...my dachshunds. He always makes sure the oil is changed and the fluid levels are full on my car.
