Re: WHAT MAKES YOUR HUSBAND A GOOD HUSBAND?

DH and I will be married 50 years in August. We both love to have a full dinner...meat, chicken or fish, veggies, salad, etc. I love to cook and bake, but am quite messy...lots of bowls & utensils. We made a deal those 50 yrs. ago, as long as I do the cooking, he’ll do all the dishes and pots. Can’t beat that!

The fact that he's my ex-husband.

 

Truth.  He's a much better friend now than he was ever a good husband.

Re: WHAT MAKES YOUR HUSBAND A GOOD HUSBAND?

@Spinach30  I married my dh when he was 42 and he had never been married. I had. He doesn't clean, do laundry or cook; however, after we had only been married a short time, I began having health issues. Started with gall bladder attacks and ultimate surgery, immediately followed by breast cancer, then a year later I developed auto immune disease. That's when my dh showed his strength and love. I recently broke my leg and he was again there for me. He still doesn't like to clean and I really don't want him doing laundry, but he was there when I really needed him. We celebrated our 25th anniversary in August.

Re: WHAT MAKES YOUR HUSBAND A GOOD HUSBAND?

Been with my husband for 32 years, besides being a hard worker and a genuinely good man, what makes him the best in my eyes is how he was by my side every step of the way through my breast cancer.   Through sickness and in health they say..........I would absolutely do the same for him.

Love, Trust and being there for me when I really need him!  He does not say "I love you" every time he leaves or walks back in the door but I know he does!  

Also, we are both retired for several years now but when we both worked and were raising our children I did my job with the house and he took care of yard, cars, etc.  

It worked for us and we have been married over 50 yrs.!!HeartWoman Happy
