Tomorrow my husband and I celebrate 29 years of marriage!
The person you marry makes a huge difference in your life. After spending all that time together, you become a lot like each other. You can help each other become better (or not) in so many different ways.
Here are 10 ways my husband inspires me to be better:
1. He is supportive of my interests and goals. Recently I decided to join an orchestra and Scott has been completely supportive. When I decided I wanted to climb Mt. Timpanogas a few years ago, he was encouraging and helping me all the way.
2. He is great about exercising. He not only rides his bike 6 miles each way to work nearly every day but he also goes running 2 or 3 times a week. So whenever I'm tempted to slack off, I just think about what I need to do to keep up (sort of) with him.
3. He likes to eat healthy foods and he is not a picky eater. He eats the "dead" toast that no one ate from breakfast even if it's a few days old.
4. He is kind. He tries hard not to hurt people's feelings and is good at keeping his mouth shut when needed.
5. He is unselfish. When a child throws up, he is almost always the one who cleans it up if he is home. When it's time to do the dishes, he is there. When there is an unpleasant task to be done, he is usually the one to do it.
6. He is a hard worker. Whenever I come up with projects for us to do around our house, he is happy to do them. Right now he is working on finishing the rest of our basement so we will have more room for guests. He is also happy to do whatever service projects I dream up.
7. He likes to laugh and make jokes and he is generally cheerful and happy.
8. He is frugal. We have been on the same page with our financial goals for most of our marriage.
9. He is a good dad. I could not raise our children without him.
10. He keeps his covenants. When our children need blessings for whatever reason, he is able to do it. He does his best to serve in our church. It is so important for both of us to have the same values when it comes to spirituality.
He's an amazing guy and just keeps getting better and better!
