I have seen so much of the character of my husband this week while he's been in Minnesota. I have missed him terribly, but I know he's doing what's right for our family, what he needs to do to provide. Michael didn't want to go to Minnesota. But he knew it's what he had to do to take care of me, our baby, our puppies, our new life in our new home. Michael has sacrificed his happiness and even time with his family in order to provide. I think it takes a big man to do something like that. It's easy to say I love you, but I think many men only say it, and few show what true love really looks like. My husband is a truly magnificent man. He tells me and shows me that he loves me. He guides me and cares for me. He is going to make the most amazing father this world has ever seen. Michael shows me every day the way a woman should be loved. He makes me feel special and important. He never demeans me or says an ill word to me. (I feel like I'm sounding like a spoiled child right now, but really, I'm just raving about the amazing man that God carefully molded to fit perfectly into my life.) Michael will be an amazing father to a son. He will teach our son to respect women and how to treat them appropriately. He will show by doing, how to love unconditionally and sacrificially. Michael has so much he could pass on to a son, and the world would be a better place if more people used his example and applied it to their own lives. Michael will be an amazing father to a baby girl. He will show her how a woman deserves to be loved. He will give her hope that there are good men out there who will respect her, love her, and care for her. He will teach her that she does not have to settle for someone who just seems to be good enough, but deserves the best man who will bring out the best in her. My husband is truly the love of my life. There is no greater man out there, than my husband. Michael is one of the few true men who exist in this world. Our honeymoon phase is not over yet, and will not be for some time. Life is difficult, but marriage is easy. I have never had to "work at it" in my marriage. There nothing to work on. We love each other, we treat each other with respect. We talk and don't yell. We consult each other. We help each other (he usually helps more than I do, but again with the the self sacrificing love...). We don't talk down to each other, and we don't argue in front of others, because there is nothing that needs to be said right now, that can't wait for the quiet and safety of a private conversation. There is nothing that the two of us can't get through. I wish everyone could have what we have, but I see that isn't the way everyone else has it. I feel sorry for those people, because they are missing the most wonderful experience of their lives. I love you, Michael, so very much. I would not be the woman I am today without your gentle and loving prodding. :) I cannot thank you enough for the incredible man that you are. Thank you for your sacrifices to meet the needs of your family, no matter the inconveniences you face. You mean the world to me.
Basically.... My husband is great, and I love him. :)
