Why do you love your spouse/partner?

My husband has taken care of my butt since I was 17 years old, LOL. He’s always there when I need him, he’s never cheated on me (I know this for a fact), he’s provided for our daughters & me for years. At one time when they were little he worked 2 jobs while I stayed home with them. He’s respectful, loving, & considerate. Now that the girls are out & gone, we’re good friends, too. I’m very spoiled.

I love him because he shows me that he loves me even if he doesnt say it. He cares for me when Im sick, he treats me right, and he makes me feel wonderful and beautiful even if Im not wearing any makeup. But most importantly, I love him because he is trying to forgive me for something I did to him ( that really hurt him). Just the fact that he even TRIES to forgive me speaks a lot about him and shows me that there is not one like him in the world.

She puts up with me; she was willing to have children with me; she actually seems to like me (which makes her crazy). She is a great mother. She is so organized you could eat food off the floor (well, whatever the equivalent is for organization). She leaves no detail to chance (not that it always works—you can’t control what other people do). She is the best lover (the last clearly being the most important—since that’s how I know she loves me).

He puts up with me, takes care of me, and holds my hand when I need it but gives me space when I need it too. Also, he sends me the most awesome notes in e-mail when we’re away from each other. And, you know, for those weird reasons I won’t ever be able to explain to him, much less on paper. In short: because he’s awesome. Also a good cook.

Because he loves me, and I haven’t even been able to figure out why this is.

I love my wife for several reasons such as:

Her generosity
Her communications skills
Her compassion
Her love for animals
Her ideals
Her wisdom and intelligence
Her patience
Her composure
Her beauty
Her energy
Her creativity
Her ample capacity for forgiveness
Her smile

Because he is real. He never did something to win me over, he just was himself and continues to be the same person. He takes care of me and I do my best to take care of him. He respects me. He challenges me to try things I have never tried before. He doesn’t need the best of everything to be happy. Give him a fishing pole, a picnic basket and nature and the man is at his best. He has a wonderful sense of humor and the best smile. He’s honest, even when he knows it is not what you want to hear. He’s my best friend.

My spouse is my soul mate. I am honestly a much better person when we are together.

My husband is the only person on Earth tolerant enough to put up with my shenanigans. Also, he’s really hot. He takes care of me and my son in an amazing way. He motivates me when I need it. He compliments me extremely well. He’s the Greg to my Dharma.

She makes me better; more calm, more relaxed, nicer, more sensitive. She is always honest with me and makes me laugh.

She treats me like I’m the greatest.. even when I’m not.

Because she’s her.

After 26 years, I am not tired of talking to him, spending time with him, traveling together, laughing like loons or making love.

The man that he is – smart, sexy, funny, a total computer nerd like me, passionate (about what he believes in), sexy, easy-going, passionate (in all those other wonderful ways) – sexy (I know but it bears repeating)... and because he cares for me like no one Every has in my entire life. I’ve never had someone think of me and take care of me the way he has. So utterly and entirely unexpected and totally amazing!

I met my wife when she was 17 and were still together 38 years on.
It’s been a great journey with all the usual trials and tribulations.
What do I love most about her, she always makes time for other people, remembers things that need taking care of and is still by my side…
She’s a Dragon but just the nicest one you would ever want to meet…

Because it is not possible NOT to love someone who is kind, thoughtful, considerate, gracious and loving.

I can be a weirdo around cage and he’s just a weirdo right back. It’s really fun. :)
And the whole “I’m physically attracted to him and we have great chemistry” thing.

Can I ask how long everyone has been with their partners who have answered?

I love my partner/husband because he’s brilliant, funny, sexy, patient, a wonderful father to our boys, an amazing lover, a great support, my rock, and someone that has changed me in so many positive ways – he is definitely my best friend and my soul mate – and for @Turtle we’ve been together since Summer 2007

I would have to see that i love her personality and eyes. But most important, the way she treats me. My lady treats me with respect and she always does cute little things for me.
