What Does Your Husbands Do for You

Pulling at anything here, he makes the coffee in the morning. By this I mean I prepare it the night before, and he pushes the button in the morning.

He's not a picker eater, so he always appreciates my cooking.

If I beg, cry, whine, and b!tch, he'll rub my feet for a few minutes ;)

He's a GREAT dad, and that's more than I could ever ask for :)

I knew this question was coming! I really wish my husband would answer. I would love to read his thoughts on this!

- He spoils me on mother's day
- He tells me all the time how sexy I am and how attracted he is to me.
- He is faithful
- He will occassionally (and this is rare, but it does happen) come home and ask "What can I do for you"...oh my, it just makes my day!
- He is a wonderful father - I know this isn't directly "to me", but it really matters to me.
- He puts a lot of thought into gifts he gets me, small or large.

What's that song???? "Don't advertise your man."

I would clone him......

My husband works and pays the bills and loves me and his children unconditionally....otherwise, I do most everything.....however, last night, we attended a very prestigious dinner gathering. The attendess were all hugely successful, multi-millionaires, even a couple of billionaires, the mayor, CEO's, etc...my husband was the key note speaker, and he announced to the audience he wouldn't be there without his wife's support. I had no idea he was going to say this and the room gave me a lovely ovation. I am rather shy and had no idea what to say. So I just smiled.

When I say "everything", I literally mean everything! He works hard for us to provide in this tough economy (he's in sales). After a long day at work he comes home and does anything that needs to be done...dishes, laundry, floors, yardwork, etc. He is awesome with the kids, he doesn't need "down time", he plays with the kids, helps with homework or them cleaning their rooms. He is so sweet to me and surprises me with flowers or gifts and every single morning he lets me sleep in while he makes the kids breakfast and then he brings me a cup of coffee in bed while I drag myself out of bed to get ready for the day. He always asks me if there is anything he can do for me. He asks if I'm happy and I know that he would do anything for me. His family is his priority and he shows it in so many ways. I'm so blessed and thankful for this wonderful man!!!!

My husband cooks and does laundry. He maintains our cars and lawn. The man can fix ANYTHING, which is nice. When I want to talk--he LISTENS! He is an awesome dad and manages my son's baseball team. He makes me very proud b/c he is so encouraging to all of the kids on the team.
He encourages me to have "me time" which is huge for any woman.
He works very hard and provides well for me and our son. I get to work PT. He loves and respects my family.
And he is appreciative of what I do around the house.
Anything we want--within reason--he makes it happen. He's awesome. I did good ;)

If I were to drop off the face of the earth today, my husband would survive. He can do anything around the house and does. I do most of it, since I am home and dont work now, but if I dont get the dishes done, he does them. If he sees laundry piled in the hamper, he can start a load. He cleans out the toilet if it needs and I didnt notice. He can cook. He can shop. He can make the bed and vaccumn and lock the doors at night and all that. When he does this stuff it is special to me. I like that he is willing to work long hours and still help at home. And he does it with a smile! I know he will take care of me when Im sick. We tend to eat on the couch and if I get done and set my plate aside, he will finish his dinner and take my plate to the sink. Sure I do the same for him some nights, but its just so sweet that he thinks about me so much.
Let me add he also has always supported us and been employeed at the same place for 37 years now. He has always refered to it as OUR money. We are paying more attention to our retirement lately and I am so proud of him for doing a great job investing and saving and he has built up a great retirement for US. If that doesnt say "love" then Im not sure what does.

My husband does a LOT, here are a few that stand out:

~He puts up with my (sometimes admittedly neurotic ) personality and my mom and my sister's same personality, as well. This is no small feat.

~He ALWAYS pushes for us, as a family, to go do something together...hike, go for a drive, practice baseball, anything really as long as we are together!

~He insists and demands we have enough 'us' time and is not shy about telling the older kids to take a hike so he can spend some time with me, which is sweet.

~He goes BIG grocery shopping with me 1x a week and gets home and cleans out the fridge, which might be a small thing but I am thankful for it.

~He cleans all the bathrooms. I have 6 boys and 3 bathrooms. I LOVE him for this!!!

~He bought my sister and her family a house. They were struggling after filling for Bankruptcy and had horrible credit and he saved them.

~He is not a dog person but I am & he is definitely not a BIG dog person but I am. We were at the pet store 4 years ago and I fell in love with the sweetest 'clearance' puppy, unbeknown to me he had the store hold my puppy and while I was at work him and the kids went back and bought my 'Brooks' and all the supplies that go with and tied a big bow around him and had him waiting for me when I got home from work that same night! Sweetest thing EVER! *Brooks is a BIG 100lb dog :)

~Him and I are a TEAM and we work hard at keeping our family loved and well taken care of!

I could list a million more things I am sure but you get the idea...I think he is great and LOVE him with my whole heart.

We have been together 13+ years and have 5 kids and 2 nephews who we adore!

- Does all of the drop-off/pick-up for daycare b/c I have a long commute
- Completely supportive of my career change (even though it meant significant travel and commuting)
- Willing to pick-up and move when we are ready to move back to FL to be near my family
- Encourages me to go out with my girlfriends once in a while (and doesn't whine about what time I get home)
- Take-out every Friday night, no discussion needed.
- Worries about and monitors our finances so I don't have to
- When they were living, he took care of my grandparents and their house w/o grumbling b/c he knew it was important to me and my mother (whom he really loves)
- We don't really exchange gifts, but he listens... and when there is something that he knows I want or need he just goes out and buys it. No "special occassion", just b/c he knows that I really don't ask for a lot of "things".

I'm actually very lucky and I know it!

Well today's he's getting me a phone I want thats a little on the expensive side. =)
He...
Does a ton of yard work (we have lots of landscapping etc)
Cooks when I don't want to
BBQ's for me when I am inside cooking so I don't have to do both
When I am sick or injured he takes care of everything, right down to me not changing a diaper.
Always gets me coffee when I ask for it, and suprises me with it when I dont ask for it.
He will take our toddler to run errands so I can get something done in peace
When I am trying to watch a show and hear something and our daughter is being exceptionally loud he takes her in her room and plays with her so I can hear
He washes, cleans out and details all of the cars.
He spoils me...our firstyear together he got me an ipod, then installed an ipod cable in my car, he got me purses, an ihome, a cell phone, a promise ring...etc, he's a giver when he has the funds.
He is always 100% there for me when I have family issues/drama.
There's a lot more but I better stop before this gets too long! =)

He works, 7 days a week, 12 hours a day in the middle of a desert. Hes sees his home/me/kids maybe 5 days a month. When hes at work he texts me all day, at night i always get an "i love you". The only time he worries about these long hours is when he worries how it effects me and the kids.

My husband was sent to me by God, he is awesome. He doesnt like to do anything without me so I never feel "left out".
Everyone has ups and downs, but I wouldnt trade this guy for the world :)
He is very gracious with compliments and I always feel appreciated.

He fixes dinner every night because he gets home first.

Where to start?!
He is simply an amazing father to our children and that is the most important thing in the world to me!
Keeps our little guy home on his days off mid-week to save on daycare cost and also gets to spend one on one with him. Picks up our oldest from school on his days off (even tho it's in the middle of little ones nap time and kinda messes up the day). He makes dinner Monday and Tuesday nights, the only nights he is home. He does all the laundry. Takes care of our yard and 9 acres. Changes diapers and would often time be the one to get up when our babies were little. He works long hours to support our family the best he can. He drives a little old beaten up car back and forth to work to save on gas $ from his dodge truck so we can spend it on other things. He NEVER complains if the house is not clean or if dinner is not ready. He says thank you for every meal I make him ~ even if it's just a grilled cheese sandwich he is grateful. He encourages me to take me time and never complains if I go out with the girls or stop to get a pedi. He puts up with my family :) and that's a lot b/c they can be a pain! He spoils me on the holidays and randomly buys me little gifts. He is always having my boys bring me flowers or little gifts from the store. He will stop by 1 or 2x per week to see me at work and brings me a coffee. He is amazing ~ every day!

My husband is my best friend. He keeps me sane!

In addition to working so I can stay home with our 3 girls, he cooks dinner about 1/2 the time, does all the outside stuff (mowing, raking, shovelling, etc).

He will get up with the baby so I can sleep an extra hour before he needs to go to work. He also gets up with the girls on the weekends and lets me sleep till the baby needs to nurse.

When I was pregnant (all 3 times) he would rub my feet every night, do his best to get me whatever I was craving, did all the cooking and cleaning, came to every one of my doctor appts and put up (very graciously) with all my mood swings.

He is the greatest dad to our girls. He plays with them, baths them, reads to them, and listens to them.

He will surprise me with my favourite breakfast on the weekend (eggs benny's - from SCRATCH!) and always makes sure there's chocolate in the house in *some* form! haha

He helps my dad out with whatever he needs. My dad has had TWO quadruple bypass surgery & had his prostrate removed due to cancer. He hates to ask for help, but my husband always offers first so my dad doesn't have to.

He is the most wonderful, generous, caring, thoughtful man and I am SO SO blessed that he loves me.

My husband does the dishes every night and the laundry every weekend. He sweeps and mops when he can and will go grocery shopping if I seem too tired (although I prefer to go b/c he always manages to get something wrong..lol). He'll let me sleep in on the weekends and tends to our son who still doesn't sleep through the night. He does a lot of stuff that drives me crazy too but I need to focus on everything I just listed above!! He's a good guy :)

Pretty much anything that I don't like to do he doesn't seem to mind doing. He always takes out the trash and does outdoor chores. He will wash the dishes about half the time, takes our daughter out so I can study. He worked 2 jobs until pretty recently so that I can be in school and only work part time. He always points out if I look bad, or have something on my shirt... might not sound very nice, but I really appreciate not going out with applesauce on my shirt etc... lol He buys me chocolate when I am PMSing, even sometimes before I even notice I need it... lol

My husband is wonderful. He tries so hard to make me happy. Mother's Day was breakfast in bed! Okay, bagle and tea but I was in bed eating it!! He loves me. Its that simple. He says I'm sexy, beautiful and can't get enough of me. We still hold hands after 25 years of marriage. He's a wonderful father to our two children. He is my best friend. He tells me I'm the first person he wants to talk to and the last person he wants to talk to at night. He has no problem helping around the house. Actually he cleans better than I do! Yep he's a keeper!

I can't say enough wonderful things about my husband. I am truly thankful that he is in my life and I love him.
I agree with Laurie D. who said "everything". He truly blesses every part of my life.
My husband is really great at making me feel special, but the greatest thing he does for me is be a team player. He helps out with every aspect of our home and parenting. He's not just a "breadwinner"!
We have two kids with Type 1 Diabetes. My husband also has it. He is a great example to them of how to care for their bodies and he works just as tirelessly as I do to make sure they are healthy.
He's a great dad and a great husband. Even though our lives are stressful because of circumstances, our home is filled with love, happiness and peace.

He tells me he loves me everyday. He cares very much about what I am feeling and asks if he is doing what I want and need, and wants me to tell him if he is not. He knows a ton about mechanical stuff and will fix anything I ask and right then, I don't have to nag =). He helps me clean and will cook dinner if I ask. He Loves to buy me presents ..

Everything. Not literally "everything" but he's there for me and supportive of me when everything is going right and everything is going wrong. His compassion, love and support is what makes me strong. I don't need grand acts and gestures to know that I am loved. God is in the details.

He is my best friend, is always there when I need someone to talk to. He encourages me and supports me with my business. He works and allows me to be a stay at home wife. He mows the lawn, puts in the garden and works it, puts out the flowers. Fixes anything and everything, does dishes, laundry (folds and puts it away) does grocery shopping, fills my car with gas. He rubs my legs and feet daily and my back when I need it. He has added on to our house (gave me a dream kitchen), put a deck on the back with a roof and a hot tub, built a garage (he did the building of all of these while working 7 days a week 13 hours plus a day). Cleans up and helps cook during family gatherings for the Holidays and Birthdays. Showers me with gifts and also brings home flowers and gifts a lot just because. I have been sick for the last year he was right there for every text and Doctor visit, sat up with me at night when I couldn't sleep and held my hand during anxiety attacks and ran the house and errands, picked up our granddaughter from school.He is a great Dad and Step Dad and grandpa to our kids and grandkids. I don't know what I would have done without him. I am well now but he is still taking care of me.

My husband is simply amazing. He listens to me, works with me, he cleans the house and does all the laundry in the middle of the week. He keeps both kids home on his two days off during the week to help save on childcare and so he can have some important daddy-bonding time. He cooks dinner 4 nights a week, makes breakfast on Saturdays, takes care of the yard, takes care of me.... The list goes on and on and on.

Im a sahm, he has also remodeled our house for us, when i ask him to do something rain or shine he will do it, and he rubs my back, legs, and feet for me, Im currently pregnant with our 2nd and he loves to hold my belly. He does everything for me and my daughter and im so thankful for him and i tell him daily:) If i want to go shopping he doesnt care.
