She was drinking an orange juice reading the paper and I my coffee with a crossword puzzle.We were just sitting there. And then I looked at my wife and it dawned on me just how much I love and appreciate her. The point of this post is this question: How many of you guys (or ladies) have ever had that feeling? That you truly appreciate all that your man or woman has done for you and your family? Reply to this Question Share |

Awesome! Yes, I do appreciate my husband, every morning I think how lucky I am and every night before we go to sleep we say appreciative things, out loud. It's very important to appreciate and acknowledge the effort and devotion each partner puts in.
Thanks for the great reminder.

Can't say I've been that fortunate. I sure hope you told her that! That's the kind of thing nobody gets sick of hearing.
I can tell you something similar though. One day a few years back I sat my parents down and sincerely thanked them for everything they did raising me. Maybe it was part of getting more mature, but I know I wasn't an appreciative child. I rebelled like most kids do, and I know I did and said things that hurt them. Well, it had my mom in tears, but they were the good kind.
Thanks for sharing this and I'm glad you've got what you have! I hope it only gets better for you.

It's knowing that no matter what, they will be there. It's the feeling I'd love everyone on here who comments about unhappy relationships to feel, so they know that it can exist. A beautifully refreshing post :)Ahh, just thinking about mine after almost our first year together makes me tingle. It's not been long, really, but you just know when you've met the one.
