This one is inspired by PeachieKeens declaration lol

I appreciate how understanding and loving my wife is when it comes to sex, desires, and kinks. Even (and especially appreciative of this) when it's a 'no' and not something she's up for, there's never any judgement or condemnation - never any 'you pig'. She's open for hearing why its something I might want to try or do, but if it's not up her alley she never judges me for it. I'm insanely grateful to her and the Lord for this, as it can (still) be scary (sometimes) bringing these things up with one's spouse.

What I appreciate about my husband right now is that he goes to work every day to financially support our family. After our daughter was born, when I told him that I felt that I should be a SAHM, he 100% supported that, despite the huge financial sacrifice it would entail.

just got reminded of the time husband and I ate at a nice restaurant on vacation (early in our marriage)

I'd ordered something new to try, took one bite, and didn't like it at all

husband switched our plates so that I'd eat, I said no, but he insisted
very sweet considering he told me at a later date, he really wanted that meal he'd ordered!

This sounds shallow, but I appreciate how my husband insists on me having nice things. I have wanted these Hidden Crown extensions that run for like 400-500 dollars for a while now. Lately I've gotten way better at styling my hair so my husband says he wants to get me these extensions because I've proven I put the time in on my hair. Very over the top, but very sweet and I'm excited!

He works sooo hard. He's been working until 9pm lately to get his work done before we go to Comic Con and some other silly things I've planned for us. Yet he still comes home in a good mood and doesn't complain (too much :))

I've said it before, and I'll say it again - I'm super appreciative that my wife indulges in/is open to/doesn't judge me for my kinks.

Some I knew before we were married, and a bunch of others I have discovered since - and never once has she been like 'you perv' lol. I'm just very thankful for that, and for her. She's amazing.

The main thing what I absolutely love and appreciate about my husband is how he feeds into the word of God. It's him going to school (online classes) to pretty much become a pastor! <3. It's when he explains something to me it's in scripture, and if i don't understand the scripture he dumbs it down for me. My husband is so smart when it comes to the Bible and it just makes me fall in love with him and God more and more each day!

The thing I appreciate a lot right at this exact second, and it’s going to sound insane, but he’s getting super into “Downton Abbey.” I didn’t ask him to or even put it on when I knew he’d be sitting down in the hopes he’d passively watch it. I had it on as background noise and something soothing to watch... But I noticed him watching from the kitchen while doing dishes, then taking long breaks in the living room to catch whole scenes, to finally sitting and watching 8 episodes with me over the last few days.

I know it sounds stupid, but this spring will be 10 years together and it’s a show he would have neeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeevvvvvvvvvvvvver watched on his own. I love after so long, he’s open to turn something I’m doing to help myself out to something we can enjoy together, and he wouldn’t just say “not my thing” and tune it out.

He may or may not do similar when I watch things like Real Housewives and “Vanderpump Rules,” and now “Making It,” but I will neither confirm or deny this.

When we first met, I was defensive, anxious about everything, couldn't look in the eye or talk to people, very introverted and pessimistic....my darling has been constantly supportive over 7 years, never judging me or criticising, just encouraging and cheering me on. He helped me role play job interviews, practised with me what to say to workplace bullies, taught me body language skills, helped me organise my thoughts, listened to every panic I had. And now that I have practiced and become an outgoing, pastoral person who is often a better church teacher than he is, and have a new job that involves talking to large groups and dealing with the public, and can make friends and talk easily...... he is just happy for me. He doesn't mind that I don't need him to help me with all those things anymore. He isn't cross that I've changed. We just have new kinds of outgoing fun together! I adore him forever xxxxx
