Today is our 15th wedding anniversary...and yes I am spending it on the computer right now because he is in Hawaii on business. Don't get angry with him. We timed it this way because I will meet up with him on Monday for 8 days ,kid free, on Maui. So, as I reflect on our special day 15 years ago I think of the many reasons I married him....he is an amazing man!

What are your top reasons you tied the knot with your hubby?

Mine are:
1. Devotion to the God and serving others
2. Similar interests and views on politics,childrearing,religion etc.
3. Great sense of humor...he's hilarious!
4. High achiever, hard working
5. Has a cute butt
Can't wait to see that butt in some board shorts on the beach in a few more days!!!

What can I do next?

I fell in love with my husband because he slept in a closet. Seriously. When Mark's dog, Chuckie, was in the last stages of his cancer Chuckie would lay down in the bedroom closet because that made him feel safe. Mark made a little bed of blankets down there and would sleep on the floor in the closet next to Chuckie so he could be near to comfort him. This is what made me fall hopelessly for him. Oh, and his long eyelashes.

But here are my reasons for marrying him:
1. He is like a new soul in the world: curious and joyful.
2. He is amazingly funny.
3. He is kind. In fact, just seeing his capacity for kindness keeps me from being as snarky as my nature lends me to be.
4. He wanted kids long before he had them. 20 years ago, whe he worked at a book store, he began collecting kids' books and saving them for when he would become a dad.
5. He loves me just as I am.

answers from San Francisco on

My hubby & I were friends for years before we got together. I remember thinking he needed a WONDERFUL wife because he respected women like no other guy on our college campus. I honestly thought he deserved better than me, but God helped me be the woman he needed. I knew I couldn't hurt him, but the reasons I married him are:

1) love & service to God
2) thoughtful (he remembered my birthday even though we had no contact in a year & he sent me a card...the first one I got that year!) while making smile (especially when I don't have much to smile...he still does it!)
3) convos were relaxed & we could talk about anything!
4) sensitive heart that I need (which has helped me become more sensitive to others)
5) wonderful hugger (I love getting lost in those arms)

Congratulations on 15 years! I hope you have a great time in Hawaii! My husband and I just celebrated our second wedding anniversary yesterday and I have to say that I could only think of one reason for tying the knot. He is my other half. :) Cheesy as it may sound, I simply wouldn't feel whole without him.

What a nice, feel-good excercise -- right in time for father's day :) Thank you!! Some of these things I take for granted until I really think about it.

1) Handsome
2) Respectful
3) Honest/loyal
4) Hard-working - at all his "jobs" - Dad, Husband, Son & Professional - all equally admirable.
5) Intelligent
And many more but one more that I'm finding how important it is and see others struggle with as life goes on - that in some way fits into all of the above: ADDICTION FREE. I am so grateful neither of us have to struggle with such a horrible disease.

We are in the middle of our 23rd year marriage and it's even better now than it was in the beginning :-)
Why did I marry him? Because:

1. I started falling in love with him 5 minutes after i met him (we were 18) and by the end of the evening it was solidified. I knew I was someday going to marry him when he ASKED me if he could kiss me. It was a huge sign of respect in my eyes. Speaking of eyes.....
2. His eyes were the first thing I noticed about him...from across the room. OMG, I LOVE his eyes!
3.When I got pregnant (in spite of 3 forms of birth control) he wanted to do the right thing and asked me to marry him. I told him no for about 5 months because I wanted to be sure he loved me and it wasn't out of obligation. I said yes when.....
4. he looked me in the eyes and without wavering told me that he wanted to spend the rest of his life with me and our child and any other children we might decide to have and that no other woman could ever be compared to me.
5. He has an AMAZING work ethic and our strengths and weaknesses balance each other out.

Bonus: He is FANTASTIC in bed!....but that wouldn't mean anything if he didn't respect me.

answers from Tampa on

1) We were together for 3 years... seemed married already
2) He is a very good Daddy to my daughter and she loves him
3) He's gorgeous and smart
4) He's responsible financially and is a hard worker
5) He's grown on me ;)
.
The fact that we are agreed on major things like religion, politics, etc is important but we don't agree on parenting. He's more of a children should listen PERIOD no matter what without question, don't give too much affection because it spoils them - I'm more of an attached parent (lots of affection) who feels it is important to give children a voice and opportunity to make choices.
