Brag about your husband or wife here!

It always makes someone feel better to remember something that was so absolutely heartwarming, so what is the most amazing thing they have ever done?

For example: When my DH and I had only been dating about a month, I flew out to North Carolina to visit my 19 year old sister in the hospital and while I was there she passed away. My DH dropped everything - school, work, plans with his family and friends - just to make sure he could fly out to help me and my family get through her death. He helped us pack up her apartment, he helped us with funeral arrangements, he even made sure we were all fed and kept our spirits up despite the horrible situation. It was a huge defining moment in our relationship - the moment I knew I wanted to marry him.

Tell me your stories!

  • My husband and I have been together for 10 years but married for 5 and after all this time he still tells me how smart, gorgeous I am and how much he appreciates me. He always helps around the house and with the kids without being asked. He really goes out of his way to make sure I am taken care of emotionally which as a woman means the world.

  • My husband and I have been together almost 9 years. Married for 4. Let's hear it for the boy because he's on the last week of paternity leave and today encouraged me to go out with my SIL for lunch and a movie and he stayed with the kids. I got back to a clean kitchen, 2 clean and quiet little boys and a sweet and alert baby girl.

    Love that man,!

  • It may seem little, but what I love most is when I'm busy doing something (dishes, cooking, whatever) and can overhear my DH and DS playing in another room. All I hear is the two of them laughing, chatting and occasionally crashing into things. It makes me feel so happy and so lucky that my DS has a loving father. (And that I have a loving husband!) My son was a preemie, and we spent a lot of time worrying that we were going to lose him. That experience brought us closer together, and made us so, so grateful for our precious boy and the opportunity to be a family. :)
  • A few months ago I called him at work halfway through the day and told him I was losing it.  I felt like crap, our kid was driving me insane, there was family drama happening.  He took the afternoon off, came home, said "I got this.  Go out.  Get a pedicure."  Awesome.

  • We were supposed to be on vacation and I found out my Grandma was sick and not doing well. My Hubby saw I was upset and drove drove 4 hours out of the way so I could spend time with her.

  • My sweet husband can always make me laugh. Even though we're in our early twenties and probably should be out at bars and doing other stuff twenty-somethings do, our favorite thing to do is lay in bed and talk. Pathetic? Maybe. Lots of fun? Always. :)

    My husband is just amazing and he makes me so happy. He's truly a blessing from God! My DH does any and everything to make me happy. Tonight, I am doing a candle light dinner for him to show him how much I love and appreciate him :)

     
  • We have been together for 9 years and he still rubs my feet every night :) It's the little things that are amazing to me!!

  • Brag about my husband? Okay! :)

    One of the sweetest things he ever did was our wedding vows. We decided to do personal vows that we delivered to each other before the ceremony. I did the normal thing and wrote him and insanely long letter. I assumed he would do the same. But he made a video that was a timeline of our relationship from the first time he noticed me all the way until that day, the day of our wedding. He went to different locations and talked about the significance of that spot and at each spot he wrote a vow that related to what happened there. Ugh, I still get emotional just thinking about it.

    But the day to day stuff, he will often times grab my hand when I am walking by him and pull me in for a hug and it is such a good reminder not to let life get in the way of us. He also makes me laugh like an idiot. It's great. :)
  • We've only been married a couple months, but it still catches me off guard when DH does something wonderful to take care of me.  I shoveled the driveway on Monday, about 7 inches of snow, and it took 2 hours.  I wanted to surprise him.  However, I overdid it and my back was killing me.  We were sitting on the couch and I told him I was in pain.  He hugged me, got up and drew me a bath, filled the bathroom with candles and once I was in, brought me a glass of wine.  And then he did the dishes while I was soaking. 

    I'm a lucky lady!

  • My tire blew out and while getting out I locked my keys in the car fairly recently. I was really hormonal that day and he came to my rescue (40 minute drive to come get me). Opened up the car, changed the tire, made sure I made it home ok, and helped get new tires on the car. He took a half day at work to take care of me and the car.

    He came home one day with a single rose to show he appreciates all that I do.
  • My husband is my hero. He's infinitely patient and rides out my huge emotional waves with kindness and love. He also does all the cooking and lots of other chores! 
  • Brag about my hubby, Don't mind if I do!

    My husband from the beginning was never a fan of "weddings". He always said that he would marry me at a court house and it would mean just as much as any fancy deal. In May, my family and I were notified that my father was going to be moved to hospice, and to prepare for final arrangements. Stage 4 Protstate cancer got the best of my father. My H was on aboard with having a symbolic commiment ceremony a week before my father passed. After my father passed, my H (FI at the time) didn't leave my side, held me as I cried, reasured me everything would be ok, and became the supporting man I needed. He also became emotionally supportative to my mother and family. When we decided to go through with the wedding, there was a few bumps in the road (due to his family's position on a wedding) he never waivered his support and love. We we married December 7th, 2013 and I couldn't be happier. My father had a great friendship with the Pastor that married us, and there were many reminders of my father that day, and I'm forever greatful I found a man that understood the desires of my heart.

  • When my husband & I first started dating. I came home from a horriable day at work and proceeded to bitch at him about the entire day. He asked me to sit down and relax But I told him I just wanted to take a shower and get in comfortable clothes. We weren't living together at the time & because of the horrible day I had it didn't occur to me that he was already in my apartment before I got home. Well anyways when I went to get in the shower I noticed something different. He spent the day at my place repairing & replacing the sink & shower head that has been leaking for the past few months. I couldn't believe he spent his day off taking care of my place. It just showed what a great guy he is. And what a wonderful husband he would be. I knew then he was a keeper . :)
