Interesting thread so I might as well chime in. I recently celebrated my 1st anniversary with my wife (we have been together for 3 years now) and I am deeply in love with her. This is our second marriage and to be quite honest my first marriage wasn’t much of a marriage after experiencing how good it can be when it is right. Why makes her special:
1: She is not only beautiful, but is smart as well. It is really nice to have a SO that is intelligent and well spoken.
2: She is caring, truly concerned with my well being.
3: She is sexy. She makes me feel wanted and loved.
4: In my case she is extraordinary. This isn’t the reason why I married her, but it demonstrates the type of person that she is. I was hurt badly on the job in 2003. I broke my back and can no longer work. I rely on Social Security Disability for income, and it isn’t much. She of course knew this before we got married and it didn’t matter to her. She knew that financially we are never going to be “rich” and that she will have to work while I stay home. I was very afraid that I would have a very difficult time finding someone who would accept that in a man (perhaps it is just my bruised ego thinking that). It doesn’t bother her in the least. She loves me for who I am, not my money or my job and that is refreshing.
5: In the same vein as above, I am doing okay, but am in constant pain. At times it is very bad and because of the pain meds am tired most of the time. Of course I am also at times moody and perhaps a bit depressed because I can’t work and financially I am not where I intended to be at this stage in my life. She not only overlooks those drawbacks, but is very supportive when I am hurting or not in the best of moods. Like I said above, it goes directly to her character and how kind she is as a person.
6: I love her because when I look at her my heart literally skips a beat. A kiss and a hug from her are the highlight of my day. I miss her when she is gone, the missing starts the moment she walks out the door and doesn’t stop until I see her pull into the driveway. I could spend every minute with her if it were possible, though she might want a little time away from my ugly self!
7: She is everything good I want to see in everyone. To me she is the most beautiful woman in the world, and I make sure that I tell her everyday.
Well, I will stop now because it sounds like I am bragging or overstating. I guess to each one of us the other person is their other half. When my wife is not by my side I feel exactly that, as if half of me is missing. I don’t know if God created matches for us or not, but it sure feels that way.
