In the last few days we have endured attacks from all sides... people saying we're taking advantage of our SOs, or that they're taking advantage of us. I want everyone to post why they love their significant other to remind themselves that other peoples' opinions fade in the face of what we feel for each other.


I love my husband because:

He talks in a stupid made-up language every time I call him just to make me laugh
He comes with me to family functions even though he doesn't understand what's going on half the time
He wanted to stay home today just to take care of me because I have a cold even though it's the world cup
He always knows how I feel about something, sometimes before even I do
He makes family a priority
If I need him he's always there for me

He spends time with my mom and dad because he knows it makes me happy, and he is constantly telling me how much he loves them and how lucky we are to have them.

Whenever I'm stressed, he sits me down and goes through the problem to see how we can fix it.

He takes care of my dog, even though he told me when we met he wasn't fond of dogs. Now she's like his baby.

Even if he just wants to sit down and watch tv and relax, he pays attention to me and makes me sit by him so he can snuggle with me and play with my hair.

He works 10 hours a day at a hard job making only a little money so he can feel like he's taking care of me, and then he apologizes to ME for making me get up earlier than normal so I can drop him off at work.

He left the job he loved in Paris, in a city he adored, where he had friends and family, to be with me in a place where he has nothing.

Excellent topic

My husband is infinatly patient with me and all of my weird obsessions and personality quirks.

He left his home and his family to travel 5000 miles to live in the great frozen north with a slightly loopy american

He cooks and does dishes

He listens when I talk, no matter what it is about

He'll watch Law and Order or Angel with me with minimal complaints

He's not afraid to hold hands in public

He's just so all around sweet and adorable

I love Mohammed for reasons that really defy words, but to list the things that endear him to me so, I'll try.

I love his gentle ways with me.

Whenever we are talking, no matter what he has to say or what frame of mind he is in, when I say "I love you" he just stops mid sentence and in the most loving tone ALWAYS says "I love you too," and then continues his rant.

I adore the way he loves to talk and talk and talk.

He makes up funny little songs that make me laugh.

If he's written a new song he always hurries to share it with me and then we brainstorm on the lyrics.

If something happens in Egypt and he can't get internet or make a call from his city, he always without fail travels to the next to find internet so that I don't worry. He has even done this when he was sick with fever (and yes I chewed him out for not being in bed). I can count the days we have been unable to talk to each other in the last year on one hand. He is commited and loyal.

I love that he comes to me for comfort and advice or to share a deep discussion about just about anything under the sun.

This might be weird, but I also love the flash in his eyes when he gets angry. He has beautiful eyes.

He just TICKLES ME!

He is a creative genius in the kitchen and we adored cooking new dishes together.

And I love the way we are able to talk to eachother without words.

But most of all... he understands me to depths no other person ever has.


He is a very special human being.

He tells me I'm the piece that keeps him together.

He'll eat my crazy Asian foods just so I don't miss home so much.

He calls me 5+ times a day from work just to hear my voice.

When he comes home the first thing he does is cuddle me, and ask me how my day was!

I love his little devilish grin when he wants something his way.
I love his happy go lucky attitude about life.
I love the way he never wants to ask for help, even when he is breaking the washing machine door.
I love his giddy silly mood before he goes to sleep when he is really tired.
I love his way with me when I'm moody and you girls know what I mean.
I love it that he wants me to be fat...more...eat more...dont get thin....huh ya right!
I love it that he loves my kids and he feels he is the dad for them for real.
I love the way he looks when he gets dressed up...Mr. GQ.
And I'm crazy for his way when we are together in public.

IM JUST CRAZY IN LOVE WITH MY HUSBAND!

Okay now you made me miss him so much......I have to call him.

wow not sure if words put it together but ill try



*He is always telling me i am his best friend

*I could cry for no reason (pms) and he still comforts me and pretends to knwo whats going on

*He is not afraid to cry, show me love, or be sensitive in front of other people

*He gives me the best massages even when he is so tired

*He got devastated when he lost his cell phone in jordan, not for the phone, but for the simple fact that i left little notes on it for him

*He is obsessed with country music

*He adores my family, and attends every family function which has been over 15 in 3 months, and never complains

*He hates Days of our Lives and Real world type shows, but never changes the channel on me because he knows i love them

*He brags about things i do, even if i dont do them well

*I can feel the way he loves me in his touch and see the way he loves me in his eyes

*He cannot wait to be a daddy, even though it scares us both to death

*He calls my granny, granny and my dad, dad, and i think its soooo cute

*He needs me

*And last but not least, Sofyan completes me and i complete him, he saved me from the miserable path i was on and im so grateful for that, when he hurts, i hurt, when he laughs i laugh, we fit together more perfect then most people could. I consider myself the luckiest women in the world, and im proud to stand next to him, and say he is mine. I am so grateful for him and the fact that I didnt need rough drafts to find the masterpiece, i found my soul mate at a young age, and thank god, we will have the longest, most blessed life together.

He pushes me to be a better person

He can't go to sleep without texting me good night

he would give up the Worldcup for me (not that I would ask him to)

He understands me and never judges me

He has put on such a high Peddistal that It's going to be a hard fall (poor guy)

He is the most amazing person on the planet. At least in my eyes

I'm all teary eyed now after reading these.... I can't even compose at this point what Said means to me and how special he is.... but I will... I have to leave work now.. but my heart is warm and I miss my darling Said.
Thanks for sharing - what a great topic

I love him in every and all ways, I love his every being

He's not my husband yet, but I think of him that way...

He's willing to leave all that is familiar to him and move here to have a life together

He makes me laugh when I don't even feel like smiling

He 'gets IT' more than anyone I have ever known

He tells me I'm "The One" and that he hasn't had a life until now

He puts himself in my position all the time and understands me more than anyone has ever tried to

He stops me in the parking lot just to gaze into my eyes

He always puts me first

He makes me feel like I'm the only woman on earth

He loves my church, my kids, my friends, my dogs, and my horses... he knows what's important to me

He wants to share things that are special to him, like his music

He's willing to muck horse stalls without complaint

He puts the toilet seat down and I never even had to ask...

Even though he's electronically-phobic, he's mastered the art of emailing and text messaging just to keep in contact with me. Skype was HIS idea....

I love my David.

You so win!

Honey, he doesnt have nothing in America.. he has you.

I love Mohammed for so many reasons.

The first thing we do when we wake, is say "I love you."

The last thing we do before sleeping is say "I love you."

After our 2 year journey to be together we don't take any days or nights for granted.

Jackie

Oh man, you guys bring tears to my eyes, all I can say is Ditto.

Now don't laugh, but I love to hear my husband snore. Every night we have the webcam and headset on until he goes to sleep. When he sleeps I just listen to him and his little noises. Usually he doesn't snore, but when he does I love it, and I can't bring myself to turn of yahoo, and I leave it on all night. Its a shame that so many wives complain about that. I would do anything in the world if he was here next to me every night snoring.

I love yacine.

he's sleeping.

he's upset about these bad things

oh god i thought we were the only ones that slept and left our webcams and mic on.

I love the way Hachemi looks at me with so much love and admiration. He tells me many times a day that he loves me and misses me. His so proud of me and my love for him. He is so kind, intelligent and wise. He is honest and loyal. He loves to help the less fortunate and will not refuse to help someone if asked. He loves Allah. He adores his mother. When he gets aggravated with me, I think it is funny that he talks under his breath in Algerian. He is so intuitive about my feelings and emotions. I love that he calls me his baby, honey, darlin, and sweety. I have never felt so loved in all my life (and he thinks he is the lucky one!)

Meriem

meriem, did hachemi see the drama yet

How shy he was the first time we met
The way he was scared to hold my hand or kiss me because he didn't think I would ever like him
How I feel like I'm floating everytime he kisses me - still
That he loves my son as much (maybe more ) than he loves me
How he can't wait to hold our new baby
That he'll take out the garbage without complaining
He hates when I cry, but has finally accepted my tears and holds me until I stop
He loves his family and my family very much
Even though he misses home so much he tells me he loves me everyday and would never dream of leaving me.
He tells me he's proud of me
His smile and laugh

OHHHHHHHHHHH WHERE TO START...

He has the most beautiful smile

He has a very special twinkle in hie eye

He is very loving

He is very considerate

He makes me feel safe

He accepts me just as I am

He loves me despite me

He takes care of me

He buys things for me just because

He likes to surprise me

He cooks for me

He makes me laugh so much

He likes the same thing I like...IE reading, nature, health, learning

He is so funny!!

Family is number one

He knows (intuitive) when things are not right with me...if I am ill, stressed etc.

We agree to disagree

We are on the same wave length...I know what he is thinking, he knows what I am thinking

We fit together like hand and glove

We enjoy each others comapny

We love talking!

We debate so many issues togther!

He is my soulmate!!!

Gosh, I'll stop for now

Awww I love the webcam thing, that's so cute!!!!!

It's nice to focus on positive things once in a while

Ohhh, you'll say that until you're into your 3rd or 4th sleepless week. Then you'll do anything you can to get some peace and quiet

We did that when we were apart too. inshaAllah you guys will be together soon

All replies to this are from Women. This is a brief one from a Man, Go Figure. Ha ha

This is my words about Maria:)))

1) Her giggle and that look that say's I love you even if your humor is strange!

2) The 2 hour regime of facial cleaning and body lotions that must be done in order to exist as a Women before going to sleep!

3) The way she smells and feels when she climbs in bed:)))

4) Her sleepy voice!!! WOW! Need I say more?

5) Her honesty!

6) Her Woman’s intuition that always seems to be right!!!

7) Not just her eyes, but the way that she touches my heart with them!

8) Her practical jokes like turning off a bathroom light will I'm in it!!!! That was a good one:)))

9) Her pride in family and love. May God bless us with a child!

10) Her intelligence and determination of living her life to the fullest!!!!

I thought my life had meaning. I thought that success in my carreer and love would follow. I thought I knew everything! It turns out that I knew Nothing!!! Life without your soul mate is just a journey filled with brief eppisodes of pleasure. Life with a soul mate, brings you to an everlasting life beyond our physical being!!!

I now believe!!!

Well, I have this ability to sleep through anything, so I don't think that will happen. Thanks for your kind wishes.




I love to hear from the men too!

Everyone here touches my heart so much. You speak what I feel but don't know how to put in words. Thanks for the warm fuzzy.

My love is my best friend.
I share with him all the intricacies of my daily life. From my "fat moments" on a morning when I find that I can only squeeze into pants that a month ago I wore comfortably and I must stop to weep before choosing another outfit. To the triumphs of "our" son having perfect attendance and A B Honor Roll all year long.

My love is my hero.
He helps me to find solutions and alternatives where I cannot discern them. His keen eye and quick wit have turned catastrophes (in my eyes) into inconveniences. He's the Superman to my Lois. (and he'd look pretty hot in tights, too!)

My love is my partner.
Even in distance, he is a integral to our immediate lives. His opinion/support is sought for major decisions and his input valued. Our son delights in telling him of his activities and accomplishments, but dreads when I inform him that he's been scolded or grounded for an infraction.

My love is my confidante.
He lends an unbaised ear to my rants about my mom or neighbors then provides objective advice. He even mirrors my outbursts so that I can see my relentlessness, but never condescends.

My love is my lover.
Be it his words, his eyes or his touch; I do not doubt his love for me. Amid my insurmountable insecurities and numerous attempts to sabotage our relationship, he has not faltered. He is so far from perfect, which makes him perfect for me. I can completely bare myself to him, showing all my flaws, for I know that like a jigsaw his growths and protrusions will fill my empty spaces. With him I not only feel love but I know that I am loved and I can see God's love in others. I know that God handpicked him for me, how can I not love him?

His gorgeous smile is just gravy!

I love my husband because:

After reading this posting and its replies... i just sat here in my chair, filled with emotions...as i found myself thinking and renewing "why i loved this man"...
I could write I think a very list of reasons..probably similar to many already posted...but i'll just wrote a few then paraphrase something my fiancee wrote me...and really that is what makes me love him.

Has been with me through good and bad with great patience and care
Respects me as a human, women, friend and lover
Never spiteful and always forgives me my little flaws
Takes pictures of flowers in his garden and
sends me to my mobile every morning attached with sweet messages
Prepared to leave his beloved country, all he has ever known: his family, friends,work and
would gladly wander this strange and unknown world with me
Understands me more then everyone else, truly my other half
Never lets me go frowning or crying...but always with a big smile
Knows what I want to say even before I say it aloud
Says all my grimaces are beautiful and cute
All the things he has taught me
His kind and intelligent manner
Way he speaks to me in French
How he processed his love for me to my mother
The fact he is really (with sucess) to learn my native language (and trys to talk to me in it hehehe)
The articulate and very detailed way he describes things to me
Pet names he has given me
The fact he is a real man who knows and accepts his responsiblity with pride and honour
Encourages me to do better and be the best I can be
He is the pillow in which I take my peace
His manner of trying his best to annoy me (but hasn't successed yet) and his humour
Says I am his family, his lover and his best friend
The way his mouth curls when he says my name or looks at me
His plans to meet all my family and make them "love" him even though their not even living near me
Fact that he is so boyishly handsome (hehehe)

(L)Many many more are inside my head...but I donnot think there would be enough space for that...



"Believe in your heart that something wonderful is about to happen. Love your life as you love me. Believe in your own powers, and your own potential, and in your own innate goodness.
Wake every morning with the awe of just being alive. And know one day soon we will be together."

Always believe in Miracles

There is no way I could sit here and list reasons why I love my beloved Joel...without becoming a mass of tears. Joel will become my husband in two weeks...just the thought of walking down the garden path to meet him makes me melt inside and tears are already starting.

Joel isn't my soulmate...he's the other half of me...without him I am not complete. I love him simply because he is.

Just a small sampling of the reasons I love my hubby-to-be......

He never makes me hurry home from work when I call to tell him Im leaving, he insists that I 'do not drive quickly because it is not safe' and he will happily wait however long it takes

He insists on carrying my purse because he thinks its too heavy for me

He cannot wait to start our family

He is not afraid to show his undying love for his mother

When I asked for him to send me one little bag of chocolates from Morocco, he secretly sent me 3

He knows my best friend's name, and inquires about her health and welfare regularly

He makes his own jokes

He likes my singing

He is not afraid of hearts and flowers

He repeatedly hollers "OHIBOOOOOOK" into his phone if he is talking with me while out in public

He lets me win at pool

He tells me he loves me no less than a dozen times a day in some form or fashion

He cries with me

He tells me I am his soulmate, and makes me believe it

He prays with me

He tells me with complete sincerity how beautiful I am, even when Im wearing pink sponge rollers in my hair

He paint a lovely picture of what he wants our future to be like, and I know he will make it happen

Oh I could keep going on for days. This is an excellent thread! Ohibok bazaf Rajli !!!!

I LOVE AND ADORE MY SAID because....

HE ALWAYS MAKES ME LAUGH OR SMILE WHEN I'M HAVING A ROUGH DAY, OR ANY DAY!

HE IS MY SOULMATE, AND WALLAHI, I KNOW I AM HIS - HE SHOWS ME DAILY

WE SAY THE SAME THING AT THE SAME TIME, WAY TOO OFTEN, GREAT MINDS THINK ALIKE

HE ALWAYS OFFERS TO HELP ME, EVEN FROM 2000 MILES AWAY

HE ASKS ABOUT HIS FAMILY HERE - OUR MOM & DAD

HE LOVES MY/OUR DOGS - ALWAYS WANTS TO SEE THEM ON CAM AND TRIES TO TALK TO THEM

HE IS LEAVING HIS FAMILY AND A GOOD JOB TO COME HERE AND BE WITH ME

HE MAKES ME FEEL SAFE & PROTECTED, ANYWHERE WE GO

HE TREATS ME LIKE A QUEEN, AND I KNOW I RESIDE IN HIS HEART, AND HE IS IN MINE

I LOVE HIS FAMILY LIKE MY OWN, AND FEEL AT HOME IN MOROCCO, IN *OUR* APT.

I LOVE HIS DAUGHTER LIKE SHE IS MY OWN

HE IS SO OBVIOUSLY WELL-RESPECTED IN HIS COMMUNITY B/C HE IS A GOOD, KIND MAN

HE IS **SOOOO** OBSERVANT - OF EVERYTHING!!!

HE CALLS TO WAKE ME UP EVERY MORNING!

I COULD GO ON AND ON AND ON.... BUT SO MANY HAVE SAID SO MUCH OF WHAT I COULD ADD

I LOVE MY SAID.... SAID AND NOURA FOREVER AND EVER!!!! SOULMATES UNITED!

Awww, Noura. You left me all teary.

Awwwwwwwwwwwwwww...this has been the best thread I've seen so far...I love reading every response.

Mine isn't my husband YET, but here's a beginning to what I love about my fiance:

He takes the time to ask how I’m doing even if he is in a hurry.
The way he says goodbye and says 5 or 6 ‘I love you’s’ and gives kisses in between over the phone.
The way he sings ‘I love you’ to me over the phone.
He is very gentle and always respectful.
How he treats me like a queen and treats my daughter like a princess.
He will do whatever it takes to take care of me and my daughter.
He is a wonderful provider.
He is a wonderful supporter.
He has strong family values.
We both share the same goal that we want a loving and successful family.
He knows how to calm me when I’m upset.
He knows what I’m thinking or about to say sometimes before I know (I still haven’t figured this out)
He is able to share his feelings.
He puts his needs aside and puts mine and my daughter’s above his own.
The way he has connected to my daughter even though they have yet to meet physically. My daughter is an extremely critical and good judge of character (yes, even at the age of 7) and she KNOWS that she wants him to be her dad.
He buys my daughter clothes and toys just because he is thinking of her. (I think he’s bought her more things than me but I like that even more about him)
He LOVES and ADORES his mother.
He is extremely intuitive and intelligent.
He has the ability to understand how I’m feeling.
He has accomplished so many things already in his life.
Once he sets his mind to something, you can consider it done at that moment.
He gets me.
He only focuses on the positive in any situation.
He is very well respected in his hometown.
He knows what is important in life and puts family first and at the same time enjoys the finer things in life.
He is leaving his family and friends and his entire country to start a new life to be with me and my daughter.
He is sooooooooooo excited about us having a baby together!
He will be a great dad.
He can tell by the sound of my voice-even when I try to hide it-that something is wrong.
He makes up his own jokes and what is the funniest is to see how he cracks himself up.
He is so thoughtful and caring and adoring.
I don’t ever doubt that I am loved completely.
He tells me he loves me for me and I believe him.
He has a soft heart and he loves that I have a soft heart too.
I love his laugh.
I love his voice.
I love his beautiful eyes.
I love his smile.
I love his laugh.

And that's just the beginning...I could go on and on! I only have 2 more nights before I will be in his arms again!!!!!!!!!!!!! WHY OH WHY does he have to be so far away?!!!!!!!!!!

Loving Farid is as natural to me as breathing. It's not possible for me to have met him, my perfect man, the only love of my life, and not know him. He's my twinsoul, my destiny. Our meeting is supernatural. He is the man God made for me. Praise God for his loving grace. If the question is "why i love my husband?" the only answer can be..because that's what God wants. He's my precious gift.

Can I just say how absolutely wonderful my husband is? The man is willing to listen and discuss and to forgive. Even when I drive him absolutely batty, he's quick to calm down and eager to talk things through.

*so lucky*

Today is my sweet hubbys Birthday....here is his cake,,,

I love him just because he is the way he is.

I.

*the greatest thing you will ever learn is just to love and be loved in return*

Aww! This is the sweetest thread EVER!

Where to begin... I love my Balkan Man because...

He makes me laugh every single time we talk!
He is HONEST!
He respects me and is proud of me
He makes me feel more special and beautiful than I have ever felt before
He loves to talk, but knows when not to! lol
He immediately understands how I feel and what I think, even if he disagrees
He is modest, even though he is brilliant and warm and hilarious!
Family is important to him, both his parents/brother AND our future family (once we're married, if he gets this effin' visa!)
He is open-minded and open-hearted and EASY-GOING!
He is reliable. Does what he says he will, is where he says he will be, etc.
He is selfless, willing to sacrifice his whole way of life to move to a strange place to be with a more-than-a-little-strange girl (me!)
He is protective, but never possessive or jealous.
He is faithful (and finally, after 2 years of unreasonable jealousy on my part, my irrational mind has finally accepted what my logic already knew)
We get all excited about the same stuff (art, travel, science, history, each other, etc)
He makes me feel 100% comfortable telling him anything that is on my mind

And last, but certainly not least...

He "gets me" in that special way that's hard to describe, but you know it when you've found someone who does!

plus 6 zillion more reasons I could never articulate.

one reason why I love my secret lover is because, he makes me sooooo happy.
even though we are apart.


plus he has a cute little booty..
