What thing's do you appreciate about your partner?
For me these are important, that I let my wife know how much she means to me. We all like hearing what our partners like about ourself, I know I do.

I'm always following on your discussion about your family and I'm all hats off for your continuous devotion to them. My husband and I may be different in many ways. We certainly have our fair share of arguments for the last 8 years. And I'm sure we will still go on arguing for the next 8 years or so. My husband is not a good looking man...he admitted it himself, LOL. But his looks is not what attracted me to him in the first place. Its his gentle heart and deep compassion for other people that drove me to him. He makes sure that we are provided well and living comfortably. In times of need, I don't hesitate to ask him for help right away. He will hep me with whatever he can do. And I think the best thing about him is that he has so much respect for me. He lets me do whatever I want and never questoned me for anything.

I love my husband so much. he is wonderful.
He is a great dad and friend. I love how he opens doors for me, and tells me he loves me everyday. He calls me daily on his lunch break just to hear my voice and to tell me he loves me, then he says it 10 times before we hang up. I know its sounds kind of corny, but he started doing it while we were dating and he was courting me and Thursday we celebrate our 5th year wedding anniversary and he still does it everyday.
I love how he leaves me little notes in the morning.
And how when he is leaving to go somewhere not only does he say he loves me but he blows me kisses till he can't see me no more.
I love telling him how much I love him.
I tell him everyday that
I love him
I want him
I desire him
I yearn for him
I thrist for his kiss
I trimble for his touch
I am truely in love with him
I love to see how my words and actions make him so happy. And in return he makes me happy. I am grateful for that. Both my husband and I deserve to be happy.

It doesn't sound corny at all.
It's very nice to hear this, I always enjoy starting discussion which get responses like yours and winterroses. It helps put my own thoughts into order.
You both sound amazingly happy and I'm sure if he was here on Mylot he'd say the same about you.
Thank you,
~Joey

I appreciate how
He cares for me
Manages to calm me down when I get upset
How he treats me
How he understands me
How he is always there for me
This is the first time I have ever been cared for like this, and he is always here for me and has supported me through really tough times over the last 5 years

Joey what a beautiful discussion. She sounds like a very beautiful and devoted wife.
What I like about my partner is his kind heart. There is nothing he wouldn't do for me. If he had to go to the ends of the earth to get something for me he would.
He puts up with me and my menopausal crankyness, and the harshest word I get out of him when I snap at him is "thank you" and that makes me feel so guilty after that. Because I know he didn't deserve to be snapped at.

HI Carol,
Thank you for the response.
I can't believe I missed off putting up with me, sometimes I can grumpy although it's aim to show her that I'm truly happy.
You sound like you've got your gem.
It's such a nice thing to read, thank you for sharing carol,
~Joey

You and your wife sound perfect together, thats very refreshing to hear a husband describe his wife that way. My husband loved me unconditionally, he would do anything he could for me, he would protect with with his life. I always knew I was loved and special.

I like your list and how you appreciate each other. I don't have a partner right now, but when I do, I will greatly appreciate her every day. I know if you keep up the appreciation treatment toward each other, you will have many great years together.

I know from past relationships that I can be a bit of an arrogant guy. This has been known to get me into alot of trouble, but my partner knows how to tell me to draw the line. She keeps a good check on my dog headedness. Thats what I love about her. I alos love the fact that she does not put up with any crap. She says what she means and always means to say it.

how nice of you to say things good about your wife. its rare to have a partner who appreciates. i also would like to share what i like and love about my husband. he really cares for me and understands me the way i should be understood. when i cant do breakfast, he does it for me. when i cant take care of our 2 boys, he takes care of them.and i feel so ashamed sometimes because i cant cook, he cooks for us. and i wish just wish he wont give up.

my partner is very patient and never complains much he tries to adjust what ever is there if he doesn't like anything he will say very soft without complain and more like a view or comment. though i do feel that at times he doesn't show much emotion so it becomes bit difficult to connect to him otherwise he is wonderful person

I'd have to say this is one of the most inspiring discussion I've responded to and it moved me to be sweeter to my fiancee.

Her eyes are the most beautiful eyes I've ever seen, they're really enchanting. So is her smile..warm, lovely, and full of happiness.
What I appreciate:
How she always make me smile..The way I feel important when I'm with her..How she lifts me up when I'm down..Her cute laugh..Simply Her!
I love her so much and I want the whole world to know that.

Occasionally, lol, I am not in the appreciative mood, and really don't appreciate anything at all. However, when I am, and I hope that it is always more often than not, lol, there are many things that I do appreciate about my hubby. I like that he and I have a lot of the same good qualities, opinions, and characteristics. I didn't realize how important that was, until we got married, because when you live with someone, you really get a picture of their habits, and I am glad that his turned out similar to mine (their are some of course, that are not, but I am learning to live with them). Then, I also appreciate that he is such a good person, with good intentions. I like when we laugh, and have fun, and enjoy ourselves, when others would probably think that we are not fun or not doing anything remotely interesting, because it is not what they are used to. It makes it more special. I think I will stop there, because that is enough, lol. I will keep the rest to myself.

The most important things i appreciate about my partner are:
* How he is always there for me when i need him
* How he makes me laugh
* His eyes - they sooo melt my heart, especcially when he does his sad puppy dog eyes
* How amazingly careful he is
* How he knows when something is wrong or has upset me, without me even saying or doing anything
* And, we have never argued, which i love...mainly becuase i guess were so alike, lol.
But mainly I love him for the way he is etc

My day is so much brighter every time he smiles.
I love that little twinkle he gets in his eyes when he is up to no good.
I really appreciate how he doesn't hold my moods against me. He is secure enough in himself and us to realize that they have nothing to do with him
I like how he let's me know that he is thinking of me in subtle ways, like bringing home printer ink, when I just happened to mention that I needed it. Oh, and how he really listens to me and hears when I need ink:)
He's not afraid to be goofy and he has no fear. He also doesn't expect me to live up to some high ideal, he accepts me as I am, warts and all.
I could go on and on...
Thanks for making me appreciate him all over again!
