Celtic, you want to know why my husband loves me?

Oh gosh, I have no idea. Wait a sec. I'll go ask him.
I'm back.
He doesn't know…and now thinks he may have to see a head doctor. Gee, thanks Celtic.

Ha hahahah…

I'm guessing now. -- but I think he likes the fact that I'm non-conservative, spontaneous, hot temperament (in many ways), worldly, and would go out and steal horses with him.

But oddly enough, those very same qualities also drive him crazy. Sometimes I think he wishes he had a conservative, garden digging, jam making, pullover knitting, forever roast beef cooking wife, (and that naked, … with nothing but an apron on.) (I wouldn't be caught deade doing that now).

You know how that saying goes …"watch what you wish for".

I know why I think he should love me, but I suspect he's coming from somewhere totally different.

20 years of marriage and in many ways we are still strangers to each other.

I guess I'd have to say we compliment each other because as people we have a lot in common but even more so we are opposites. I'm not even sure that made any sense...LOL

Great question. I believe my guy loves me because I love to laugh and have fun. My laugh also irritates him sometimes; I think he wishes I would be miserable more often (misery loves company).

He likes that I am quick and a self starter. He also likes my spontanity and desire to socialize. He is rather shy, tho, so this also is a bit irritating to him at times.

I am loose with money and he is tight. We have struggled through this, but I believe we have found a happy compromise.

I also think he loves me because I adore him so much and hold him in my heart all the time. We respect each other, like each other and enjoy each others company.

Great question and funny answers. You all make me laugh.

I think my hubby loves me because I am fun and adore the heck out of him, therefore making him feel good about himself which allows him to be a great husband, father, son, son-in-law, brother, uncle, friend, etc. I have a little Lucy in me and he gets a kick out of that.

My hub loves me because I keep him entertained and off-balance and he never knows what color my hair will be when he comes home.

My husband said (after I asked) he loves me because I'm a good mix. I asked him to explain further and he claims I'm not fanatical about anything. I know and can figure out most anything. I'm not an extreme anything, but have a little of everything. I wonder if these are the same things he saw in me from the beginning. Haven't asked that question yet.

Jeez, ...I will be partially bashful..

We both know why we are compatible cause he and I have talked about this from time to time.

I'm a horrible procrastinator, but really that's more me delaying action on a major decision that I made awhile ago. So he loves me for being focused, for my independent viewpoint, that I am not totally reliant on him for my own definition of self and interests (he truly wants a woman that isn't constantly stuck to him like superglue), ..and well, list gets more bashful, private Ok?

I know that I am quite different in personality and focus, from his ex. Yes, she and I have met on several occasions. And no, I wouldn't feel close to her as a female friend. She is quite different in orientation and interests. Her temperment might be gentler than mine, this I would concur.
