I actually miss him a lot when I'm away from him, even for a night.

Also, even when the going's gotten tough, I'm glad that we're getting through the tough together.

Finally, I haven't killed him in spite of the relentless snoring. That alone must mean I love him : )

The thought of loosing them despairs me, the excitement of seeing him or knowing we're going to spend time together and mostly that I can look at him and any moment, regardless of what he's doing and have those moments of feeling "I really love this man"

I can tell him anything. I am very comfortable around him. I could not imagine my life without him. I put my hand over his heart when he is sleeping. I pray it never stops beating. We fight with passion. We love with passion. He is my absolute best friend. We grow closer everyday.

Like it was said in Jerry Maguire, He completes me. My husband knows me inside and out. He can just look at me and know something is bothering me or that I'm thinking about something.

What really weirds me out sometimes is I'll be thinking something and then he brings it up, example the other day I was thinking about what to get him for Christmas this year and no lie, he comes into the room about 30 secs later and said, How much are we going to spend on each other this year for Christmas?

I couldn't ask for a better husband and father for my children. My husband should thank you, He's going to get a huge hug and kiss as soon as he walks in the door from work! :)

answers from Detroit on

I couldn't imagine a day without him... I cry even thinking about it.
When I went on a trip to visit friends in another state, being gone for only 5 days, as soon as I exited the freeway and got on a road leading to our house, my heart pounded harder than I could've imagined and I started to cry uncontrollably because I was so happy to be so close to seeing him again.
He is the one that calms me down.
I can't sleep without him next to me dispite his snoring. I'm an only child. I never had to share a bed and never wanted to until he and I got together.
I can be me with him no matter what.
I never have a problem telling him anything at any time.
I'm excited to see what the future holds for us instead of looking at the past and missing it.
He's the only one that I see me with. I don't look at another and think 'naughty thoughts'... ever. I can appreciate a nice looking man, but I don't think lustfully.

That's about all I can think of right off the top of my head...

I know he is always there.....
I feel he is my other half even when we are so different....
I love when he comes home from the office, I feel butterflies in my tummy when he calls me everyday to say.."I am coming home....I am 10 minutes away from home..."
I love smelling his cologne and listen to his voice....
I love our chats face to face, by phone..in bed.........and that also......
I miss him badly when he is not home...
He just has been my friend, my lover, and my husband for 13 years..
I love when he plays with the kids and laugh aloud..
I love to feel his kisses and his hand on my hair when he is leaving (to work) and I am asleep....
He knows everything!
....and he feels the same about me as he writes it down as often as he likes....
He is just everything to me!

answers from Las Vegas on

He is the only person that I have ever been able to spend a number of hours with and not get bored. I actually really like having him around.

The thought of not having him in my life actually makes me very sad. In previous relationships, I would sometimes daydream about life without that particular partner and I was actually okay with the idea a lot of the time.

My husband and I are naturally very considerate of each other -- we tend to put each other first when we make decisions that effect the both of us.

I do think love with our significant other does tend to start out with a bang of passion, love and lust but, once you settle in, it is the day to day things that keep love burning. As they say, God is in the details.

answers from Pittsburgh on

I CANNOT be without him. We've been together for almost 13 years and we still need to be in the same room together. We even bought a laptop so that we wouldn't have to be separated because our desktop was in another room. I get so excited when he decides to work from home or comes home early. We even go to bed together. No matter how tired I am, I will sleep on the couch with him watching tv until he is ready to go upstairs. It doesn't even occur to me that I could go up by myself and go to bed! We do all errands together even if we have two screaming kids with us because we just don't want to be away from each other. We've been this way since we started dating and it doesn't seem to be simmering down!

answers from New York on

i know he is the only one who would have dealt with things we deal with in our family the way I do. he does not complete me. i hate that saying. i don't complete him. we compliment each other. i am bouncy and rush into things, he pulls me back, and makes me reassess the situation. he is too slow for a go-get attitude, he needs me to make him go.
our silence is comfortable. i can sit and read a book hours on end with him sitting and reading his book, without the need to talk. we know what we're thinking.
when we are all sick, i get up and make soup so that he can drink it, he can get better and then he can take care of me. until then, as sick as i may be, i do the work.
i don't have the butterflies anymore, nor do i spend my time thinking about him. i don't worry about what he's doing or who is he with. we have complete trust in each other.
i guess we're a good match

answers from Austin on

I asked my SO one day why he thought he was sick the night before - was it something he ate, etc. He said it was because he was worried about having been laid off. Up until that time I thought he was feeling positive about the situation (as positive as one can be), but to know that he was up all night, going to the bathroom feeling sick... well, it made my heart hurt for him and wish there was something I could say or do to help him feel better. I feel bad for other people who are/have been laid off, but not like I felt for him. I knew at that point I loved him just a little more than I did the day before especially since he was trying to put up a brave face for me =)

I remember the first time I knew he was the one...I was watching him at a party that he escorted me to, he was sitting away from me chatting with someone and I felt my heart squeeze and I knew I was in trouble...

Granted there are days when he really irritates the you-know-what out of me, but sometimes I see him doing something or nothing at all and my heart feels the same as it did the first time.

answers from Chicago on

I think love is an action, not just a feeling. I love my significant other by showing love -- speaking with kindness, being a refuge from the craziness of the day, always listening, making him feel cared for, doing small things to brighten his day, etc. I want to do these things because of how I feel about him. I think that's love.

He provided the piece of me that I was searching for and me to him.
Now that I am complete we are free to be two separate people.
We encourage the best of each other and are not threatened by each others power or success.
We are equal in every way and I thank the angels for sending him to me.
