JFF: What Does Your Special Someone Do That Makes You Smile?

Well now I am mad that he hasn't made me a Margarita in a while. They always taste better when someone else makes them, ya know?

He makes me nuts, then makes me laugh about how nuts I got.

mine's cleaning the bathroom right this minute while i'm noodling on MP.
sexiest thing EVER.

My husband and I have been together since we were 15 years old- that's 25 years! We are an interracial couple and he put up with my family's shock and bigotry with patience and respect from the very start. I went undiagnosed and untreated for a mental illness until my mid twenties so until that point he survived many of my severe bouts of rage as well as depression. He took care of our daughter and home when I was in the hospital for suicidal ideations. He's lived with all of my medication side effects- weight gain, insomnia, low sex drive. In all of these 25 years he's never complained once. Not one time. He's a freakin super hero and I am more grateful than he'll ever know.

my husband stepped up earlier in our boys lives when they needed a baseball coach and coached for 4 seasons.

He loves to make me laugh.

He supports me. Takes good care of our family.

Chose to be a dad rather than a corporate climber like his dad so he could be there for them. Today - he took off work as our boys had a JROTC ceremony. He didn't miss it.

oh yeah - added - my husband fixes all the stuff I break!! I should be a professional "breaker"!! I can break a bowling ball!

My husband makes really good burgers. I think I'm hungry. First thing that came to mind.

Hmmm...my soon-to-be-ex has become a lot more pleasant and endearing now that we live in separate houses and are just friends and co-parents. I like that he takes the time (and it's A LOT of time) to help coach our boys' hockey teams and takes care of making sure that they have the right equipment and that it fits, etc. He also plans something fun for them to do every weekend and invites me to join them because he knows that planning for fun isn't my strength and that with a long work week, I don't have much time to relax with them. They'll remember the weekends we went to the beach or bike riding or kayaking, not the ones where we ran errands and did chores.

He calls me "bizcocho" which means cake/sponge cake. It makes me giggle every time. I *might* even blush.
He brushes the hair off my head when he kisses me goodbye in the morning (I am still sleeping since I work a swing shift).

As I type this, my hubby is on the kitchen floor loving on a puppy he didn't even want to get. He is not a dog person but agreed to get one anyway and now he really seems to enjoy him.

He is concerned about my feelings...everything from did I sleep well to did I enjoy the meal we just had to how am I feeling because this is the anniversary of a death in my family. He knows I have certain quirks: I'm a fanatic about cleanliness, about planning and about order. He is none of those things, but he adapts to them because he knows they are important to me. Finally, he's just interesting. He reads a lot, he's always learning (be it how to make his own computer to carpentry to astronomy). He's very accomplished in all the ways that get "rewards", but his mind and personality always seek new information, new perceptions, ideas and new accomplishments.

Tyler does a lot of little things that make me smile. He will take the boys out for a hike so I can soak in a bath tub or the pool.

he will call me on his way home from work and say "don't fix dinner, we're going out"

he will bring home flowers just because.

he's a great father. a great role model.

My husband rubs my feet a lot. After the kids go down at night we get an hour or two to sit and catch up, have a drink or watch tv. When we flop onto the couch after a long day, he picks up my feet, arms, hands, whatever is closest, and massages for awhile. Physical touch is one of his love languages, and he's done it so long he doesn't even think about it consciously anymore. It makes me smile and feel loved. I'm a very lucky woman. 🙂

I think I take my husband for granted. He is a good person, treats me very well, is a good provider, has many talents, he is helpful and eager to please. I think I am often very critical of him and don't show him how much I appreciate him. He tries very hard to make me happy.

My partner will send me flowers, even when it's not our anniversary, loves my nieces just as much as I do, agreed to getting a cat even though she's mildly allergic to them (that's dedication if I ever saw it!), brings me tea when I have migraines and is generally an all around loveable person. I couldn't ask for a more devoted partner, really and truly.

He just wants to make me smile. Drove down from NJ when he got rained out from work just to surprise me by doing some yard work that has been a little out of my physical ability (and available time).

Great question. Mine takes care of everything from finances & bills to setting things up. He takes care of anything that breaks down around the house. He makes sure we're safe. He'll bring me flowers on my birthday & for mother's day. He'll take care of any dead animals like snakes or birds. He's always helped my parents. He helps friends move. He's an all around good guy and helps people.

My husband is a manager in sales and works very stressful, long days. Even after a long day, if he sees something that needs to be done when he gets home, he will just do it. Like if I had just cleaned out the fridge and the trash if full, he just takes it out. If I didn't finish putting the groceries away, he will do it. Anything he sees and CAN do, he WILL do.

For the last 9 years I have not TOUCHED his or my laundry...he does ALL of it. Even puts it away. And before the kids started doing their own, he did theirs too.

Every single morning when the kids were in school and I was working, he would wake me up by bringing me a cup of coffee. Even now years later, he makes my cup on the mornings we are up together and if he leaves before I get up, he will prep my cup so all I have to do is pour in the coffee. The few times I've had to make my own or if I want a second cup, it NEVER tastes as good as the one he makes me.

And he doesn't do it as much as before he was a manager, but he randomly stops and buys me a small bunch of fresh flowers. I LOVE THAT! He's a keeper for sure and I'm so blessed to have him.

good question:

my DH takes care of every person he's in contact with. He's an IT director for a mid sized industrial engineering firm. He supports his office as well as their satellite in India. If electricity goes through it, it falls on his task list.

he took over my dad's honeydo list for my mom when dad passed away 6 years ago. he sees my mom every weekend and helps her around her house and of course tech support for all her toys....don't ask.

most importantly though he takes the best care he possible can of me and my darling son. he does the grocery shopping, takes care of the cars, I haven't had to stop for gas in years, he handles all the outdoor stuff, he handles all the day to day financial stuff, we split the cooking and the kitchen 50/50, and I've never had the 6th day of the month pass without his monthaverssary flowers. we were married on 10/6 and we're coming up on our 20th.

I kissed a few frogs along the way but the Lord shined a blessing on me when he gave me this amazing man, husband and father.
