Some of the things that I appreciate about my man are; 1) His sacrifices - my man is currently the breadwinner for his family. YEAP! He's taking care of his parents, already, since they're not capable anymore. This is why I have great respect for him. 2) He is sincere - I can tell that he means it when he tells me he loves me. 3) He is funny - according to him, life is too short to take too seriously. He told me that before meeting me, life used to suck a lot for him. And being funny makes it less sucky. Ain't he the sweetest? Your turn! What do you appreciate most about your significant other?

Some of the silly little things I love about my husband... So many times as I'm opening my mouth to make some smartass comment, I hear the smartass words coming from his mouth! Whenever we are too lazy to cook (I say "we", but there's another thing... HE does ALL the cooking) my husband is always the one to pick up the phone or get in the car and make a run for fast food. I would be too lazy even to do that, so would probably just have a bowl of cereal. We have never ever had a fight. I'm serious. I don't think people believe me when I say this. Neither of us has ever raised our voice to the other, or said unkind words we would want to take back later. In 11 years, we seriously have never had a fight.

Oh you've got a smarta$$ too huh? YEP, me too. Well both of us. Hahahahaha. You're lucky though that he cooks - mine only cooks two things - fried rice (YUMMY fried rice, might I add), and fried eggs. Hehehehe...well he can scramble eggs too. Hahahaha... WOW! Zero fights huh? How does that work? Anyway, thanks! Cheers!

This one is easy for me. My significant other is a wonder and I tell him all the time how grateful I am and how much I appreciate him. 1) He's great with my kids. He's not just doing it for me. He truly loves them and enjoys being dad. Which is so good because their real dad is a piece of @#@# and never sees them although he lives in the same town. 2) He's a bit of a clean freak. Which I so am not. So usually it's his work when you come to my place and it's cleaner than normal. I deal with the kitchen and he takes care of pretty much everything else. He can even sew! His gran taught him years ago. He mends clothes and the kids stuffed animals when needed. 3) He works so hard to keep my comfortable and relaxed when I'm having bad days or days when I'm just in pain and don't feel up to moving much; he makes it easy for me to just lay around reading and only moving when I absolutely have to. I'm really lucky in the man I got and I'm the first to admit it.

He's a great guy indeed - he loves your kids because they're yours. And that fact is enough for him. And funny how we attract the opposite personality, huh? I'm more organize and clean while my significant other is the opposite. I try not to nag too much about it, and I try to tell him in nice ways. Thanks! Cheers!

First thing is I appreciate my fiance because he is such a good father. He may not be able to bring home the income right now but he does enough by showing his love for our child. Next he can make me laugh no matter what. I can be darn right upset or angry and he tries as hard as he can to get me to laugh. Which in return makes me feel better. Another thing my fiance has always helped me face my fears. I use to be afraid of fireworks but he got me use to it. Also when I would go to the fair I use to only like the smaller rides and the fun houses. A few years ago he got me to go on this amazing but scary ride. After that I was up for anything. Of course I will never try the kamikazi again. A real good reason I appreciate my fiance is he is all for going green. The last couple of years he has talked about things to do to go green. He wants to build a house that runs on solar panels. Theres other ideas too. I have always been earth friendly and was afraid I wouldn't end up with a man who had the same interest at heart. So I feel lucky in lots of ways to have him in my life.

Love doesn't always equate with how much one person brings to the relationship - I think my bf was a little bit insecure about this in our early stages of dating. He finally realized that I could care less about how much he makes as long as he loves me for who I am. I wish you all the best in your future marriage. Thanks. Cheers!

Okay, this is easy. Three things I appreciate about my man are: 1) He is one-of-a-kind. He is very independent and VERY different. I've never met anyone quite like him. It keeps things interesting. 2) He is intelligent. He is an ornithologist and knows almost every bird of the southeast by call. He also is very logical and gives good advice. 3) He loves me! Underneath his harsh exterior beats the heart of a man who truly loves his woman. He always comes through for me when I need him most.

1. HE LOVES ME - Simple as that. There are days when he looks at me and says things you are so beautiful or i'm so lucky to have you! I know, little things, but they mean so mch to me! He has no idea, how much! 2. HE DOES WHATEVER IT TAKES TO MAKE IT ALL WORK! - We really had a big fight last year in our relationship while our daughter is sick. Since we were apart at that time, we really didn't have time to talk about after few weeks, he just can't stand not talking to me. Despite of all the mistakes that he had done, he had still find a way just to get my heart back. 3. HE TAKES CARE OF ME WHEN I DON'T FEEL GOOD - He's sweet as he tries to do whatever he can to make me feel better. If only he knew how to make my eyes and sinuses stop itching, I can deal with sneezing and runny nose!LOL

He's persistent I see! Good for him, and for you! =D I think our loved ones would give an arm and a leg if that's what it takes for us to be comfortable. That's just how love is. Thanks. Cheers!

why should it be only three? the things that i appreciate about my significant other are: 1. she try to lend me a hand during the times that i need some extra help, even if i don't like her to help me, she insist of doing so. cause she is more capable than me (financially speaking). 2. she is very down to earth person, she always has a friendly smile towards anybody even to strangers. a very friendly and jolly person she is. 3. she is the sweetest woman i had ever met in my life. she would call me every now and then. and she is very much attach to my mom. cheers!

HAHAHAHA - I was only asking for three mainly because I know that we ALL could go on and on about our significant others, because they are amazing people. My other motive in putting this up is to inspire those mylotter who are in search for love and are heartbroken - to show them that true love exist! That it is truly kind and patient and all that jazz! Your woman is wonderful - you should ALWAYS cherish her and let her know that you are grateful for her. Cheers!

It is a very difficult task to find and prioritize three things about my husband. He is a very nice person and I have a lot to say. :-) 1. He is very undertanding and never creates problems, good in resloving issues. 2. He considers me and makes me feel special many times and sometimes as a surprise. 3. He is very planned and organized. It helps a lot in our relationship because I am not planned and organized.

Oh I think it was difficult for ALL of us - but I didn't want us to ramble on and on - I just wanted us to take some time off to appreciate the ones that are always there. Considerate people are one in a million these days! You're lucky! Thanks. Cheers!

Only three things huh? LOL I am really happy with my husband and there are so many things that I love about him but I guess if i had to choose three they would be: 1. He has always been able and willing to support his family with no complaints..and I know they are many days where he would love to just tell his job to suck he knows that his family depends on it and sticks it out. 2. He is always there to make me feel better about myself and to help me out in every possible way, every since I have become sick and not able to do all the things that I used to he has really stepped up to help me out and really helps me feels better when I am to sick to get out of bed. 3. He makes my heart skip a beat even after ten years...I know that he truly does love me and even after so many years together we can still make one another laugh and love one another just as much as we did when we said I do..

Ok first would be his stubborn nature because it matches mine. Second would be the way he makes me feel good everyday with just his smile. Third is how he is a great father to our kids.

Those are all great qualities. I'm happy to hear that you're with someone who is like you when it comes to stubborness - otherwise, he'll just overwhelm you with it. Thanks! Cheers!
