Same as your last question - sense of humour. I make my husband laugh a lot and I love hearing him laugh. He has a wonderful smile. Really, I am fortunate to have such a supportive, caring husband. I feel I have been quite a burden on him with my illness but he has never given up. And he knows I am a loving, caring person too. We live, love and laugh together.

Wow, that is so sweet. My husband puts up with my disability of not being able to hear well, but he always helps me. You are very fortunate.

I thinks it's that I know that i am the one person he feels completely comfortable with in every way and i feel the same for him. It's knowing you can say anything to each other and if i don't feel like shaving my legs he's ok with that, ok well to a point..lol

trust and safety is a big part of mine and hubbys marriage. i trust him with everything. also no matter what i know that as long as we are together things will be ok. i feel safe with him. we have had our share of bad times but things always work out. we can talk to each other about everything which helps alot too. he makes me laugh when i need to. he listens to me yell when i need to do that as well. he is always there for me. yes we have issues from time to time like anyone but we work them out by talking. that is a big key in any relationship is talking and meeting halfway.

My hubby and I have been together 17 years, married 16 on July 12. If you want one thing that makes our relationship special...it is accountability. Above all else we view our bond as a Sacred Partnership. Within our relationship we both strive to be accountable for the consequences of our choices...and make course corrections when either one of us veers off the discovery trails of life. We are striving to create a healthy relationship that supports our soul path and the life we want to lead. Even though we are life and business partners we are big believers in having some 'spaces within our togetherness.' Everyone needs some breathing space and room to grow. I said accountability because you asked for one thing...but openess and trust are two other 'biggies' that make our relationship special. The same principles apply in interactions with other people in our lives. From my perspective, accountability, openness and trust are the foundation of any special relationship...spouses, family, friends...hard to feel solid without them.
