I agree with you, Westward Bound. Rebecca came up with a beautiful idea at just the right time. I wonder how different my list would be a month from now. And I like the thought of reading his list of things he loves about me, too.

Beautiful idea. I’m at a point right now where I think we both need to do this for the other about once a month! Sigh.

Thank you, c. I had not done a list like this before, but it does have a calming effect.

Kristin, thanks for commenting. I’m sad that you all are not coming to visit. You’re welcome to come some other time.

Deb, you’re right. It would be nice to make a new list every month to keep focused. It is a great meme. I like how you said you would run away screaming. At least you are honest about it. I didn’t know how hard it would be since I was not honest with myself or anyone else about what I wanted.

Chris, thanks! I did share it with my husband. I told him about the concept when I had only come up with 8 things on the list and I teased him that it would be tough to come up with 2 more. Then the next day, I showed him the finished list here on my blog. He loved reading it!

Very sweet FW! I don’t think we tell each other often enough what it is that we love about them. Especially our spouses. I’m debating on wether I should do this meme myself. ‘Some’ people apparentely think I love my husband too much and would probably hurl if they had to read about it LOL.

But it’s very sweet that you did it and I hope you made sure he read it or shared it with him. I like that you rewrote it in spanish. That was an awwww moment

I think if I was married, I’d have to do something like this every month or run away screaming! It is so good to focus on the reasons you committed to each other, as a reminder of the relative unimportance of the annoying things that crop up in our day to day lives. This is a great list, and a great meme!

I love your list. It’s so important to remember the things we love about our spouses!

I’m sad we won’t be coming to Virginia anymore. We were looking forward to meeting you and your family, and seeing all those beautiful flowers you’ve taken pictures of in person! Thankyou again for your sweet offer.

Wonderful things to love!
Your son looks just like his papa.

It’s good to remember these things, come back to them from time to time when things bother you. It’s these fundmental aspects of your partner that will bring you back to the root of your love when the world and weariness creep about.
