HUSBANDS!!!! The non-annoying ones thread!

[Chicks_N_Horses]

It is always nice to see hubby appreciation ~ They do deserve it, well most of the time

My husband took me and turned my life around. It is a scary thought to think about where I would be today if he hadn't come along and saved me. I had an awful childhood, had lots of problems from that, was a wild partier, had no real goals, didn't allow anyone to love me or allow myself to love anyone, and the list could go on. He basically raised me and taught me how to be the really great woman I have turned into over my past 10 years of being with him. So nice to have a man so devoted to you

Marriage has been the best accomplishment of my life along with the wonderful children we have together.

Thank you for a very positive thread! I have one of the best men in the world, just like you do. We've been married for over 33 years...and still like each other! He has terrible back and knee issues, but pushes through it to take care of me and the chickens. When I broke my ankle in two places and had surgery to make me bionic, LOL, he did everything for about three months. I didn't have to worry a bit that my birds and the dog were being cared for properly. He's all I ever want.

I have to say I am, IMO, the luckiest, most loved woman in the world. Okay, in MY world, anyway!

Thanks for a chance to brag about DH!

I've got a gem too!

Not 10 minutes ago he fixed my ingrown toenail! Now that's true love!

Yesterday we went to the Poultry Show and today Shopping for a yellow butterfly bush! He's just great that way!

Oh and then there's the coop building, he couldn't be anymore perfect!

We'll be married 25 years on June 9th and I couldn't imagine life any other way!

I have been married just under a year, and although we have our moments, I still couldn't love him anymore than I already do, we always tell each other "I love you more than I could ever Promise" it's a line from our first dance song.

When he proposed to me, all he could afford was a ring with my birth stone in it, I loved it more than anything, but he felt bad he couldn't afford more, so he began picking up extra shifts at work, and surprised me at the alter with the wedding set of my dreams, I would have been just as happy with the Birth stone ring, but to him, it just wasn't good enough.

He went back to school to become a Registered Nurse, because he want's us to have the life we want with a ranch with chickens, horses, and pigs, he wants our children to raise pigs for 4-H as he did when he was young. He want's us to be able to go on vacation, when we want for as long as we want.

I grew up in a family that lived from paycheck to paycheck, and that was ok, we always made time for eachother, and did things as a family. He on the other hand grew up in a very well to do family, that would spend the entire summer in Tahiti without blinking an eye. I would be happy living Paycheck to paycheck, as long as I have him by my side, but as he says "That's just not good enough for my baby" so he is studying his cute little butt off, to make us a life with less worry.

I wanted to hatch chickens, he bought me an incubator, I wanted to hatch button quail, he bought me the quail turners. He also found me a 50 GAl aquarium to use a a brooder, he just began plans on a coup & Run.

We both love to go fishing, so he traded his PSP for a aluminum boat, and he goes out ever night to work on it, becasue he wants us to be able to go down to the river on those hot nights to cool off and do a little fishing.

I love him so much, and could not imagine life without him. My aunt lost her Finace in a car crash just before I met my hubby, and I now realize how horrible that really was for her, I thought I knew, but only after finding the love of my life, can I truly imagine how hard the past 3 years have been for her.

So in conclusion, LOL, I feel like the luckiest woman alive, I have a husband who loves me more than anything, and although I think every day there is no way I could love him anymore than I already do, I wake up every morning and find that I love him even more than the day before.

Just thought I'd add a photo of my wonderful Hubby and I, this was taken on our wedding day July, 20th 2008

Thanks, emvickrey! I'm so excited to be "back in the saddle again!" The new horse is an American Saddlebred named, "Who's That Guy" and we call him Stanley. He's a really nice addition to our cast of characters - I just love him!

Kelsey - I think we all have our moments! My husband isn't perfect - but he is perfect for me! Trading a PSP sure must be a sign of true love!!!

and what a beautiful story of your ring at the alter! I'm like you, I'd have married him for a ring from a gumball machine!

Tacey - your post makes me think of that song "True Companion" by Marc Cohn....and I'm with you:

THANKS! I'm so grateful for everyone's stories! This is wonderful for a Sunday evening!

Great thread. I love hearing the positive! My husband and I will be celebrating our 35th wedding anniversary on June 22. We married young, had 2 children, and often struggled financially, but we were best friends and went through good and bad.

Now we live on a 52 acre farm in northeastern PA with 10 horses, 5 goats, 2 geese, 20something ducks, and close to 100 chickens. He gets up at 4:30 am so he can do the morning chores before he goes to work. We usually do the evening chores together. He builds, repairs or coaxes whatever needs to be done.

This morning was cold and dreary after a day of heavy rains. The horses were enjoying it so much and wouldn't stay in the lower pasture so I could get my horse to go to the horse games. I came in and said, it's OK, I'll just stay home (he is the arena crew to set up, so he'd go regardless). He said, let me try one more time and walked all the way up to the upper pasture so he could get my horse so I could go. I thanked him and he said 'it's his job.'

Remember, marriage/relationships are 100%/100% ... sometimes one has to do more than the other and it's OK. I'm very fortunate to have my husband as my friend and life-companion.
