My Granddad died last Friday night, followed by my great-aunt Ruth (his only remaining sister) four nights later. My husband has been hugely supportive through all the grief, but the best was the night Aunt Ruth died, when I couldn't stand to think about cooking, and just wanted comfort food. He came home with stuff to make soup and fixed us a supper of soup and bread with brownies and ice cream for dessert. It was a wonderful way to let me know how much he cared.

Melissa G said...

Aw, it's so great to hear about all these great husbands!

I also have a super guy for my husband! =) His care and concern for others is amazing and i get so much joy out of seeing his joy in his family. I can't say it's always been easy but i'm so thankful that we stuck with it and i can honestly say that i love him more now then 6 years ago on our wedding day.

My husband slept on our first daughter's floor beside her crib for an entire summer (her first 3 months of life) and fed her in the night so that I could sleep. I had so much anxiety about her waking up that I could not sleep if I was to be listening for her and was so exhausted. It still brings tears to my eyes to think of him sleeping there on the floor--this big, strong man in the fetal position with bottles of milk beside him ready to wake up and feed our sweet little one. To me, that was sacrificial love that I will never forget. He is the best.

Jackie said...

My husband...38 years and counting! Love him so much...he is my knight in shinning armor! A faithful loving husband, Dad and Grampa. He loves his family and always is looking for ways to help. Mike has a great sense of humor and that has always been attractive to me and also to others. I am so thankful for this loving man I am married to. Thanks for the opportunity to brag on him and enter for the contest!

Unknown said...

My husband is one of the hardest working men I know. He works as a sales rep and has to travel each month, so he keeps very busy with work. He makes the sacrifice so I can stay home and raise our children. Even with all the hard work he does, he even does a LOT of work around the house too. He is not your typical "couch potato" kind of guy. He keeps busy from the minute he leaves the house in the morning, until he goes to bed at night. I appreciate him more than he knows. I am so blessed to have a husband like him!

My husband is a great man. He loves Jesus and always puts my needs and the needs of the kids before his. He is thoughtful, gentle, and kind. He is a great dad to our kids, even though he doubts himself. I love him soooo much.

Lisa said...

My (future) hubby is the light at the end of the tunnel for me. No matter what happens in life he is always my voice of reason, he makes me laugh (which I didn't do often enough before!), he makes me take time to stop and smell the roses and he is not afraid to show his love for God's word. He is a blessing for me and I will love him until I breathe my last breath.

The Critchlow Family said...

What in the world would we do without husbands?! We unexpectedly moved Novemeber of 2009. We arrived in St. Louis Nov.1 and Nov.8 I wound up in the hospital with unexpected health conditions. (We have always been healthy so this was very new for us!) We didn't know anyone. Our families are from the east coast so we didn't have any close by. We have 2 munchkins so my husband drove them 6 hours to Ohio (to my sister-in-laws) and back overnight while I was sleeping in the hospital so that I didn't have to be alone. I was in the hospital for what turned out to be 6 weeks. My husband was able to work from the hospital and only left my side to go home and shower (and he usually did that while I was sleeping). I underwent multiple procedures and operations and was finally released on December 23. The kids came home on December 30. Not too long ago did I find out that when I would go to sleep at night my husband would pull out his work computer and work through the night so that he could be my support during the day. Never once did he complain and was constantly offering words of encouragment. He is my rock, my everything.

HollyElise said...

My husband is amazing - my best friend and my rock.
He is always ready to pick up things on his drive home from work, and then he surprises me with chocolate :)
He works two jobs to support us, but is always ready to spend time with me doing something we love, whether it's just going for a walk, reading together, or going out for dinner.
My husband is not a daddy yet but we hope he will be soon, and I know without a doubt that he will be the best daddy ever, because he is the best husband in the world <3

Rachel said...

My husband is the best! He moved to a different state with me so I could go to grad school, found a job in a college town, and always does the dishes. I couldn't do it without him!

Sarah W. said...

Well I today is a day I can brag on my hubby! I've been sick the past few days and he's taken care of a lot of me and even getting some of my work done. Most importantly, he's taken care of our kids so that I can rest. He's very hands on and willing to help with whatever.....I could brag all day but I am especially thankful for him this week! :) Sarah

Jenny Elizabeth said...

My hubby always is there whether encouraging me through emails/texts while he is away or bringing me flowers. He helps me so much and always listens so sweetly...he is an excellent father to our kids and i'm so grateful for him.. We live in China and if it weren't for him being away from my family would be so much harder!

S Club Mama said...

My husband, Anthony, knew I'd have a hard day today. I was going to the dentist to finish a root canal AND leaving my sons with a friend. The older one is potty training so I was nervous he'd pee all over her house (which he did once). SO my husband left me a little love note on my steering wheel "you 'TURN' me on" and notes on the boys' car seats as if they were talking to me. My younger one's seat said 'sowwy if I cwy when da sun is in my face mama" (because he hates the sun). My older one's said "bwess mama daddy baby boods to our bodies amen" which is kind of his mealtime prayer.
It was sweet and totally made my day. He's always doing little helpful things to buoy my mood and help around the house.

Celeste said...

Well, I am not yet married myself - but I do not think I could ever fully express how amazing a man my dad is as my mom's husband. I can only pray that my future husband is as amazing as my daddy.

He is such an amazing Christian -- and so loyal. He served in the U.S. Army for nearly 30 years ... and I so admire that. And, I so admire that he was such a supportive husband for my mom - even when we had to move a lot.

He is so funny and never ceases to make us laugh. He is incredibly loving and I just love the way he expresses his love for my mom - his wife. It's the little things ... like setting out warm towels - fresh from the dryer - for her for when she gets out of the shower. Getting her coffee ready in the morning. Never letting the gas tank in her car get below 3/4 full. ... the list goes on and on.

Above all, he exhibits what an amazing, strong-Christian husband should be. I will certainly use him as the "guide" when I consider someone as a possible husband for myself. I thank God everyday (really, I do!) that He put my parents together. I can not imagine life without him ... and what a blessed woman my mom is to have my father as her husband.

Kyli said...

Where do I even start?! Aside from being my absolute best friend, my hubbie is also an awesome dad! He cooks, he cleans, he does laundry, all with little Brynna attached in the Baby Bjorn! I truly am blessed by his love and compassion each and every day!

From my blog: http://nicolezoe.blogspot.com/

The Bomb-dizzle.

That's what my husband is.

I love my husband. There is no doubt about that. But lately I have been having a pretty difficult time professionally. I am struggling to claw my way up and show people that I am as good as I think I am. But it's hard. And with this economy, there is not as much fluidity in the work place. People are holding onto their jobs. People are staying in their jobs instead of retiring. And because of that, people like me, who may be incredibly smart, talented and qualified, can't get promoted. This struggle to prove myself and move up has been stressing me out - almost to the breaking point. I know that I am good. I just can't seem to get other people to see that as well. And I hate that being young is a bad thing. I would think that being as young as I am and having accomplished all that I have would make people impressed. Instead, it seems that they would rather pick someone who is older and been around longer, even if they haven't necessarily done a lot.

Wait, what was I talking about? Oh, yeah, my hubby. I know he has been frustrated because there is not really anything he can do to help me or fix the situation. This past Tuesday was a really bad day and the day could not be over soon enough for me. We talked and text throughout the day as we normally do and I was finally able to get out of the office and on the bus home. I get home and come in through the garage and there on the kitchen counter was a pot of flowers, waiting for me. Not just any flowers, but blue hydrangea.

Blue hydrangea were my wedding bouquet.

I love him.

Magda said...

My husband is always working so hard to provide for our family. That means lots of late nights and weekends this time of year during budgeting, but I know he does it for me and the girls. We miss him dearly, but after a long day he comes home and takes over caring for our 6 month old and 2.5 year old so I can get a 'break' and make dinner, etc. I love him!!!!!

Marcy said...

Thankful my husband uses his talents for the Lord. He is performing the latest song he wrote in church this Sunday!

Unknown said...

My husband is WONDERFUL! He truly is the other half of me and I love him! We have been together for 10+ years. We are high school sweet hearts and I am so happy to say that this wonderful man is the only one I have ever kissed. I found my soul mate on the first try. I am super lucky to have him. He is an outstanding father and truly is my best friend!

ShannonV said...

I love my husband so. He is a wonderful provider for our little family. He loves me and our children unconditionally. Our two children are a wonderful testament of the love we have for each other. He is truely my best friend.

Jenny said...

Oh my...my hubby is amazing. We are currently expecting our second child and I have terrible, TERRIBLE morning sickness. My hubs comes home after work (typically a 10-12 hr day) and does everything. He does the cooking, cleaning, laundry, and takes on all responsibilty for our 2.5 yr old. I am so blessed. I know he is tired too, but he never complains and is so supportive. I love my husband more than words could possibly express! What a great contest...here's to all the great husbands out there!

Melissa said...

my hubby is the absolute best. he is my very best friend, my rock, my biggest source of laughter, and my soul mate. he works SO hard to support me and our little family WHILE going to ministry school full time. he has such a big heart with desires to help others around the world. my hubby does big stuff to let me know he loves me, but also remembers the little things that mean the most. he has sacrificed so much for me and for our marriage... i know he would do anything for me, even die for me. i tell him all the time that i just wouldnt make it without him. and i mean it. he is the BEST!!!

Amanda said...

My husband is amazing because he puts up with my changing self as I become more and more pregnant with our first. He always does the dishes because he knows they gross me out, and by the time I get home from teaching 20 2nd graders all day it's all I can do to keep myself from collapsing on the couch. He's amazing because he does the laundry every weekend from beginning to end. He takes care of our kitties, and keeps the house clean. And on top of that, he rubs my feet, tucks me in at night, and always asks what he can get me or do for me. He's amazing because he acts like this ALL the time - not just because I'm pregnant. I don't deserve such an amazing husband but I'm so thankful God blessed me with him!

Kiki said...

My husband (to be - come on January!) is an amazing person who is supportive, loving, and thoughtful.
He takes care of me, loves me unconditionally, and is truly my best friend.

I could not ask for a better partner.

Abby said...

I have been told multiple times by other women that I "hit the lottery" with my husband.. I agree! Not only is he amazing to me, he spends every spare moment he isn't at work loving on our kids. At our nephew's b-day party last week someone asked me if we had twins... my husband had our 8 month old in one arm and a friend's 9 month old in the other... he just can't resist spending time with the kiddos!

7pinkpearls said...

My husband is perfect! We have 5 children - all girls! We have been married 19 years next week. He always places others before himself. He works 2 jobs to provide for our family. He loves, gives and serves others unconditionally and unselfishly. He shows and models Christ to our children each day. We have grown in Christ's mercy, grace and love as a couple and a family. When I had cancer 16 years ago, he remained steadfast and unchanging. Through many trials in our life with extended family, health, employment and recently a car accident, he has been an encouragement and blessing to others. He loves others more than himself and is always helping and giving!
I am thankful to have been given such a precious Godly man who is kind, caring and loving!

Unknown said...

Well I think this is a great idea. We all find time to complain about the bad things our husbands do but we rarely tell them (except those hallmark holidays) the things we really appreciate about them. There is no perfect husband as there is no perfect wife. But positive reinforcement goes a long way to bringing happiness to everyone.

Kristin said...

My husband is the best because he allows me to have time to myself whenever I need it. He works hard yet comes home and plays with the kids, gives baths and helps with bedtime. He is a very present father and appreciates everything I do as a SAHM. I know I am truly blessed!

Anonymous said...

Wow! A lot of great hubbies! The reasons I think my love is awesome are countless but they can all be summed up by saying he surrenders himself completely to me and to our children every day. A clear example of this was six weeks ago I went into preterm labor and we lost our son and I nearly lost my life. Joseph managed to be my support at the hospital, manage the care of our four children and their schedules, and make funeral arrangements among all the craziness of the whole experience. I was on bedrest for another three weeks where he continued to handle everything. And he did it all out of love without ever uttering a complaint of being tired or anything else that would have been so easy to do. Oh, I love that man!

Gail said...

Hmmm...don't know where to start! First, he's a hunk. LOVE him for that! And the daddy of my 3 gorgeous children who are also gorgeous because of him. He's the primary childcare provider at our home right now and he does an amazing job! He does all the normal stuff (feeds them, bathes them, gets them to school and other things, etc.) but he also manages to do laundry, wash dishes, and run errands. Now, I know most moms do this stuff all the time, but I'm pretty impressed that he's so willing to do things AND take care of our less-then-calm children (ages 10, 6, and 2). He's the best! He's also an artist and I love that we have his artwork hanging in our home. There's more, but I'll stop there...

meeyeehere said...

I am a stay at home mom and my husband works all day,weekends and does things on the side just so I can be at home with my baby.Every woman and friend I have says they are just waiting for me to kick the bucket so they can try to catch him!HA!!I think they are serious!My sweet Boo BOO changes poop diapers with no problem,always calls to say he loves me and one time I got made at him and for some reason,I don't remember now,I told him he was holding all the cards!He surprised me that night after work with a bouquet of flowers and a wrapped present,inside was a deck of cards,on each one he wrote"now you are holding all the cards"
he is a great guy!

Kodi said...

There are a million reasons why Nathan is my favorite person in the world, but the first random thing that comes to mind is when we go to a restaurant and order our meals, if they're delivered and I decide his looks better, or I don't like mine or I just change my mind, he will ALWAYS offer to trade me meals, and truly doesn't mind to do something like that to make me happy. :)

Teri said...

My hubby is amazing and truly my best friend. Three weeks before our wedding (2 years ago), my younger brother passed away suddenly. As can be imagined, my family and I were devestated and I wasn't sure it was the right time to get married. My parents support and determination to keep the wedding as scheduled made it happen, especially knowing that my brother would have wanted it that way. It was quite emotional, leading up to the day. After the rehearsal and dinner, my soon to be husband and I exchanged our wedding gifts to each other. My husband had sent a photo of my brother and I from my birthday that year to be made into an oil painting. It is amazing and is one of my most prized possessions...such a genuine thoughtful gift. I am so glad to call him mine:)

YooHoo! said...

My hubby is the absolute best! He is kind and loving and so patient! He is wonderful with both our children, our 10 yo son and our 4 yo daughter. He isn't a man of many words, and he looks like a big tough guy, but he has the softest, kindest heart.
Not only that, but he comes home to us just as happy, patient and kind as if it were the start of the day~ but it's after a long shift at the fire station. My husband is a firefighter/emt and works long, hard hours. He's often gone during much of the summer away at fires, and is always one of the guys coming when you call 911 in the middle of the day or night. He's just as patient and kind with the people he helps too.
And though we've been married for 14 years, he still tells me every morning that I'm the most beautiful woman in the world (despite me telling him something must be wrong with his morning eyesight!)!
Thanks for the opportunity to let us all brag! I love that we've been blessed with such wonderful men in our lives!

Lee Anne said...

My husband is amazing! Beyond the coaching, volunteering, laundry-doing, car cleaning, homework completing, games attending....it's the little things that REALLY make me love him. For example, he gets the kids up and off to school all on his own each day so I can go into work early and get home when the kids do after school. He IRONS their outfits every morning because he knows it's important to me. He runs to Walmart on his lunch hour to pick up my make-up because he knows I hate running errands after work. He calls on his way home to announce he's making eggs for supper just so I won't have to make something. He hired a cleaning lady twice a month so we can spend our free time doing something fun with the family. He's got my back and it's an amazing feeling to know there is always someone there to support us, take care of us, and love us.

Lynn said...

My husband works two FULL time jobs. Yes I said two. He hardly ever gets sleep and we hardly ever see him, but he makes sure he is ALWAYS there in spirit and heart. He sneaks on-line at work to check his e-mail messages from me and the kids as to how our days are going and every single night when I get to bed around 1:00 or 2:00 am (while he is working the graveyard shift) I find a love note under my pillow from him and sometimes an added little gift that means only something to him and I. It totally warms my heart and I KNOW that my man is thinking about ME and his KIDS!

EJ said...

My husband is amazing because he is so helpful to friends. He's the fix-it guy with a can-do attitude, and he isn't afraid to work hard. He's great with our three kids. I'm proud that he gets better and better every day.

Christy said...

My husband is out late working right now. We've had to struggle to get enough income and he's been great about doing his best to work hard and provide for us. He works hard, but also makes time to focus on family.

with love, Emily said...

My hubby is fabulous! He's in school to provide a better future for us (he'll graduate in June! Yay). And while I'm the "breadwinner" now, he is so supportive and appreciative of what I do to make a good life for us! I am so proud of him! By going to school, he is following his dreams! I can't wait to start a family with him in the near future!

Walquist said...

It's my birthday this weekend and my husband laborosly made red velvet cupcakes for each child in my class (i'm a teacher)...but here's the best part...FROM SCRATCH!! yep he pretty much made my day today. (and every child's day who got a cupcake!)

he is so thoughtful.

CAT said...

My husband is a great man because he set's example through his actions for our kids. He has work hard to support our family, volunteers his time to coach high school kid's lacrosse team and they see him as a father figure. Most of all he supports every crazy businessidea :) that I share with him. He's a great listener and a father.

The Bonjour Four said...

My husband is amazing in everyway. He's a hard worker, he loves and serves the Lord, he adores our little Noah, he is patient, and loving.. I could go on and on. But this is a special thing he did not just for me but also for our son. Here is the story:

http://libby-bonjour.blogspot.com/2010/06/just-because.html

Thanks for a chance to win!! LOVE, LOVE, LOVE your stuff.

JBentz said...

My husband is such an awesome guy! He made me a great dinner tonight, which was such a treat because I am a high school foods teacher and never get a break from the kitchen. :o) Thanks for the opportunity!

Katherine said...

I love my husband for his kindess, because of his sense of humor (corny though it may be!), because he's an amazing dad, because he supports me and challenges me and makes me a better woman. I love him for who he is.

I think the best thing my husband does is love me despite me. He lets me be my crazy self and still loves me even when I have a hard time loving myself.

Chelsea said...

My husband is such an encouragement to me. This summer I have been struggling with some health issues that have made me physically and emotionally less capable of caring for our three children. I know this isn't what he expected to deal with at 27 with preschoolers, but he has been so gracious at stepping in without hesitation. He's never once made an ugly comment but instead seems to relish the chance to take care of things and give me a break. He is such a blessing.

Jesica said...

My husband is amazing. He led me to Jesus when we were in college and continues to show me each day what it means to be a real man. He loves sacrificially, works tirelessly, and brings so much joy to my life that it is nearly impossible to remember what I ever did without him. He is my true love. I love to brag about him. He is super handsome, too! I am such a blessed woman!

Cubanita said...

My husband is currently earning his PhD. We've been married 3 years and are about to have our third baby. This year I almost died in an accident, we found out at the hospital that I was pregnant. I developed post traumatic stress disorder from the incident and more recently, now on bed rest until our baby reaches full term. My husband has been working like crazy for the past few months, as a Doctoral candidate, father, AND now filling in my role as a mother. He wakes up at 5 AM to start working, then at 7AM he gets the kids up and gives them breakfast. He works all day and comes home early to give them dinner and play with them. Then he spends time with me for a few hours before hitting the books again until late in the evening. And as if that weren't enough...he has been tending my garden, which is my pride and joy, because he loves me and wants my world to be beautiful. I can see the bone deep exhaustion etched on his face, I know how hard this has been on him, and I am amazed that he still comes home every day and puts us all first. He prays for us, loves us and serves us. Its a honor to be his wife.

Jen said...

Our mornings are always rushed and he faithfully fixes breakfast (often times eggs and toast) for our three boys AND packs their lunches. He's a lifesaver:)

katie said...

I am so thankful for my hubby! He's very giving and generous...I praise God for the wonderful husband he has provided me.

Mommy Toy said...

My husband has been out of town on business for almost 3 weeks. Our 4 yr old misses him very much. The other day he called her and asked her if she would have a tea party with him over the phone. (We both have Iphone 4s so they could video call.) For the next 30 min they chatted and he pretended to drink tea out of the cups she would hold up to the phone. It was the sweetest thing I've ever seen and really made her happy. He is the best daddy and husband. We are blessed!

Sassy said...

My husband is my world. In my first marriage of 17 years and two beautiful children we divorced - he was a bully and always told me I looked sick if I didn't have make-up on. I met my 2nd husband almost a year after my divorce. He is 12 years younger than I... yes, I guess these days I am called a cougar. Age was never a factor and that I was a BBW. He loved me through thick and thin.... from my 2nd bout of Bell's Palsy leaving me paralysed on the right side of my face (he even proposed during the worse of it), through gastric bypass, and severe depression/anxiety. He is my balance. I can't imagine a day without him in my life. He has the patience of a saint. Loving him also brought into my life his daughter that he had custody of since she was 1 year old. When money is tight we need no gifts but he surprises me with poems he writes or sings to me while we dance. Each night he tucks me into bed and weekly makes sure my weekly pill tray is full. More often than not he willingly attends my appointments with my psychiatrist and my psychologist. And each day he calls me at work and says... Hello, my Love.... I could go on and on and on.... in fact just sitting here while I write this he extends his hand for mine, looks at me... and says... I would marry you again in a heartbeat.... our anniversary is this weekend.... #6... with many more years of happiness and love to come. Priceless moments... :)

Jennifer said...

My husband gets up every morning with our kids so I can sleep in. In 6 years since our oldest was about 1 I think I have gotten up with the kids 2 or 3 times so he could sleep in. The rest of those 6 years he has gotten up and let me rest. I used to tell myself he just didn't need as much sleep but really he is just nicer to me than I am to him.

Sarah said...

He makes my coffee every morning! I know this doesn't seem like a big deal but it is to me-I love waking up and having nice warm coffee!

Wendy said...

Not only has my husband put up with me for over 30 years, but tonight he went out to get me a large Nielsen's Frozen Custard even though he has allergies and can't have any himself. What a sweetie.

Heather said...

My husband has been working tirelessly on our house as we're getting it ready to sell. He just starts working on it right after he gets home from working all day and doesn't stop until bed time almost.

Ashley said...

1. My husband gets up with our daughter EVERY morning- she's a super early bird- so I can sleep in a little.
2. Matt gives her a bath and puts her to bed EVERY night so I can have a break from being with her all day.
3. He listens to me whine, complain and just jabber all the time- usually with a smile on his face.
4. He lead our family closer to God and helps me grow in ways I didn't know possible.
5. He makes me laugh. A lot.
6. He makes life worth living!

Sarah said...

I am so lucky to have my hubby.We have 3 soon to be 4 beautiful children together.I love all of the simple things that he does for me.Tonight he made dinner,did the dishes,gave the kids baths,and even went out in his pjs to get me a late night snack.He is amazing.

Gianina said...

My dear husband learn to do a lot of thing for breakfast, including oatmeal, pancakes, scramble eggs, french toast, so he make it everyday and gave me 20 extra minutes for me to rest. I love him.

My hubby is a sweetheart! He works hard to support our family and tonight he came home, made dinner, cleaned up after himself and even offered to watch the kids so I could take a nice long bath!

My husband is amazing - loyal, kind, and so committed to our family. He knows me "warts and all" and still loves me! He is my best friend and I am so blessed.

Mommy K said...

My husband is the best! He has been mine for the last 15 years. He loves me unconditionally no matter what I look like, feel like or do. He loves our twin 4 year olds unconditionally too. No matter what happens, he is always there to make me smile, to laugh, or to comfort me. He cooks, cleans, plays and loves at all moments. He supports me in all I do to be a better mom and teacher. I love him.

War of Wonton soup when I'm sick--and a birthday week full of surprises year after year, even when I tell him he shouldn't or doesn't need to. He does it anyways. Always.

I am thankful for my husband's sacrifices. My husband has graciously given me his hard earned frequent flyer miles to allow me to fly away for the weekend with one of my best friends. I'm thankful not only for the plane ticket (which otherwise would not be in our budget) but for him encouraging me to have a fun weekend away from home while he holds down the fort with our kids. I'm pregnant with baby #3 (my youngest is 7) so this might be my last opportunity to get away for a while.

My husband Dusty is: sweet, generous, funny, talented (he's the lead singer in a rock band -- FB them "Blonde Alibi"), a clean freak (yeah for me!), a loving father of 3, a wonderful son, a computer nerd, a master of baked chicken, a lover of my brownies, and so much more. He swallowed his pride and wore a Buzz Light Year costume for my son's 3rd birthday recently. The best thing he can do for me is to keep the kids out of our bathroom so I can take a bath in piece. He rocks my world!

I LOVE this idea! I have the best hubby ever. He is my best friend. He told me the other day that his work friends were complaining about their wives and he said "I told them that, it's weird, but if given the chance to spend time with anyone, I would always choose you." How awesome, right?!? :-D

When we got married 16 years ago, my husband was only 19 years old and had just completed USMC bootcamp. He was getting ready to be deployed overseas and he wanted to make sure that me & my 3 yr old son were taken care of in case anything happened.

We tried for several years to have a child of our own, but after an ectopic pregnancy we thought it would never happen. After 12 years, we finally got pregnant! Everything went fine until 35 weeks, 2 days before Christmas. I delivered our baby boy, but he had Severe Respiratory Distress Syndrome. He had to be transferred to a hospital an hour away. My husband struggled with which one of us to stay with, but I convinced him to go with the baby. He stayed in that hospital waiting room for 15 days and only left to come check on me (finally in the same town as the baby).

Now he works extremely hard and long hours so I can stay at home & raise our 3 yr old son.

I am so thankful to be married to my best friend! =)

My husband is amazing. He does everything in his power to show his family how much loves us and will do anything for us. Currently, he hasn't had a day off from work since August. He's worked every single day and even taken on night shifts to allow us to save money to move. And when he comes home he plays with our son for hours so he doesn't feel like he's missing out on time with him. He's our hero. Our very hardworking hero.

20 years of marriage has taught me that there is NO other man who can put up with my PMS, make me laugh with just a look,, run a washing machine and dishwasher better than me and be the BEST Dad to my 3 boys. He is the besthubbieawardwinnereveryday!!

Now I would pick a necklace with HIS name on it so I could wear him close to my heart EVERYDAY for another 20 years if I win one of the gift certificates.
Best

I'm a little emotional just thinking about this. My husband lost his job a year ago- one of the scariest things to happen to our family. And although he could have sat there and become depressed and pity himself he really embraced staying home with our children while I worked, and now go to school. Although we still hope for him to find a job soon this past year he's spent with his kids he will always cherish, and so will I.

Bits & Pieces said...

What a lot of great husbands out there!! Mine is no exception. I think he's pretty terrific because every single morning he heads off to a stressful job that he isn't in love with because he wholly supports my desire to stay at home with our daughters. He always puts his family first and took the day off when our eldest started kindergarten this year because he wanted to be a part of her big day.

Unknown said...

My husband is the greatest!!!! he works 2 full time jobs so that i can stay home with our 4 children. That is the greatest gift i could ever ask for. even with all the hours he puts in he is still the best dad ever and always finds time to help others in need. i would be lost without him! it would be nice to honor him with something from TVP!

Leigh said...

My hubbie is the best because he works 2 jobs, comes home and does the dishes, helps with laundry, takes time to play with the kids and still gives me back massages and the end of the day. I'm so blessed!

How fun to read about all the wonderful husbands out there! My husband is amazing as well :) I cannot think of a day when he has not exemplified a servants heart to me, our five daughters, as well as the members of the church that he pastors. In two days he and our second oldest daughter are headed to Haiti to minister to our missionaries there. He loves to include his family in these experiences desiring to teach them the heart of a servant as well. I could not ask for a more Godly man!

mrstex said...

My hubby has been putting up with me for the last 6 years(on Oct. 30th)! He is always there for me, loving and supporting me. He even stands up for me when his mom questions my parenting decisions. And he always knows how to make me laugh. He is my prince charming :)

Marissa said...

Back in July I decided I was going to start running. Hubs never rolled his eyes or anything (even knowing full and well I was VERY out of shape) I have been in 4 races in 3 weeks and he has been at every one cheering me on as I crossed the finish line. He continues to support me and is even encouraging me to do more.

I just did a blog post in honour of my wonderful man not long ago! AND it's our fifth anniversary today! http://bit.ly/ccJ0jZ

There isn't enough room here for me to tell you all the reasons why my husband is wonderful...but the number one reason? He's the father to my kids that I always wanted for myself.

Heidi Jo Comes said...

i'm pretty certain that anything i say can not truly capsulize who he is to us. but i will try.

he puts God above everything. and following immediately that is his family, me and the five beautiful children he helped co-create with me. he loves us so deeply that he sacrifices all to find a way for me to raise our kids without sending them out, or me out for a paying position.

he knows the value of representing Christ to other children as well, so even though we have no children of the age...he teaches ccd classes to ninth grade boys. the curriculum is focused on honoring their bodies as temples, and those of young women. not something most would want to jump into....but he does it, because someone NEEDS too.

he loves hunting, but long ago put it aside to be more present with our young children. now he occassionally takes our nine year old and any number of his buddies, whose dad's simply do not, or can not because of time, yet their sons LONG for it. it certainly isn't about the hunt....for that is rarely successful. instead it's about making a little boy's dream come true. and that's enough for him.

again...so little could i write here. but he is one in a million. and i am so thankful God gave him to me.

Jennifer said...

I maybe late for this post but when I saw what it was for I had to respond. My husband is the best father and husband I have ever seen, well besides my uncle Jay who passed away a few years ago. He works over 50 hours a week, is getting his MBA, and has his own tax business on the side. He does all this so I can be home with our three year old daughter and I am also going to school. When he comes home the first thing he does is give me a kiss and hug and then gives our daughter a kiss and hug and then they go right outside to play so I can start dinner. It doesn’t matter how tired he is he always makes time for us and I never hear him complain. We just celebrated our 5year anniversary on 10/8 and we will be together 10 years next year. It’s amazing how love changes and grows stronger. I never knew I would love him more today than I did when I married him because than I thought I was going to burst because of how much I loved him. I can’t wait to be 80 years old with him with all our grandkids around!!

I love this contest! So unusual :-)

I'd say that Jeff deserves to win, because he KEEPS ME IN LINE. I'm not kidding. He keeps me grounded, he reigns me in, he calls me out on my bullcrap. He calms me down when I'm riled up, and makes me happy when I'm sad for no reason. I have no idea what motivates him to do this, and I'm not exaggerating when I say that I can be a real pain in the butt (I don't try. In fact, I try NOT to be. But it happens anyway). But he's always there to fix things - be it my mood, my dignity, or our collective sanity. He's awesome.

My hubby is the best in the world because I just had a baby and the pregnancy was the hardest. I spent two thirds of it on bedrest and misrable and he was so kind and loveing and stepped up to help me and take care of our little boy!

My Partner is great! On one occassion we arranged for him to meet me from work on a snowy icy day and for us to get the bus home. I hadn't heard from him so assumed he was running late so I text him saying I'll get the bus alone instead and for him not to worry about meeting me. As soon as I got on the bus..there he was..but it was too late!! He had walked all the way there and then had to walk all the way home again..in the cold icy weather!!! I felt terrible but couldn't get off the bus. When he eventually got home he wasn't angry or anything...so lovely!! It turns out my phone hadn't received his text saying he was just around the corner...Oops!!! I love him to pieces for that and all the other of hundreds of things he does for me!

Erin-

Good morning. My husband is my salvation. My husband has loved me wholeheartedly since we were sophomores in high school, he turned 35 yesterday. My husband made a promise to me when we were 18 years old that he would devote every day of this life to making sure that I was happy and taken care and I can honestly say that I have wanted for nothing, physically or emotionally since he made that promise.

Six years ago I decided that I no longer wanted to be a part of a certain religion and my mom, dad, brother, sister and countless uncles, aunts, cousins, and grandmother have not spoken to me since. I truly never would have made it through that devastating loss if it were not for my husband and my faith in God. When I hear this song I think of my husband, he is truly my foundation.

I have a 1 month old (& 3 other kids). My husband took one look at me Wed. night & realized I was about to lose my mind, so he arranged for his mom to keep the kids tonight so we can go on a date!!

Pontos da Flávia said...

Just because he is the most amazing person who never keeps bad thoughts and is always smiling like a child! I love him!

Ashley said...

my husband is amazing! he has been my rock through a very stressful job, 2 miscarriages, my mother have breast cancer, pregnancy, 6 long months with PPD...all while working 50+ hours a week to support our family. he reads to our son, plays with him everynight, reads to him from the bible, helps me with the laundry and dishes, and gives me foot rubs without me having to ask (somtimes!). can you get any better?!?

susan* said...

My husband and I will celebrate 21 years of marriage on the 20th of this month. I would do it all over again, all the ups and all the downs, all the twisting around. He is worth it and I'm glad he is sharing his life with me.

The Davis's said...

My husband is the BEST! When I am at my lowest point he has nothing to say but adoration for me. How he is so PROUD of his wife when she feels like she failed. We serve our God together and I am just amazed at how much God has changed, molded him into something I am Proud of. He my number one Fan! Supporter and he believes in me when I do not. If I had an award for best husband of the year it would be everyday.

I thank God for bringing us together.

My husband is the best because he's so much fun and my best friend. He's a great dad to our 3 kids. He's on a field trip with the oldest right now (our first of kindergarten!). We're going to celebrate our 10th wedding anniversary next week. I'm the luckiest to have him!

m.a. said...

My husband isn't your typical, 'my husband is the sweetest' kind of guy. He grew up with a tough home life and two different father's that ended up leaving before he was ten years old. Without any example of a loving husband and father, he has really had to learn to be that himself. He works so hard to be a good husband and to learn from the things that don't work for us. I love the way he adapts to my (often) unspoken frustrations and works to be a better man. He's more thoughtful each day and does kinder things for me each special day that comes. These are just a few of the reasons that I love my husband.

Unknown said...

My cute hubbie is the best. He's a former school teacher and a current school administrator. He knows loving and teaching these kids is bettering our future. Tonight he is camping with his scout group, again, knowing his time spent there is well spent. The best part about my husband, is the time he devotes to our family. After years of infertility struggles, we were GREATLY blessed. We now have triplets, twins and a singleton. 321 for us! He has coached all of them in soccer, football, supported piano and dance. He's the best dad and husband ever. Really. And I'd love to figure out a cute way to fit our little 321 crew on one of your darling necklaces!!!

my babe brought me flowers last week for no reason at all and also went grocery shopping - he's a good catch!
