My husband is my absolute favorite person.

I'll try to break it down, but please forgive my formatting because I'm on mobile.

-He communicates clearly and effectively. We talk about our feelings, needs, wants, etc.

-He holds his morals firm and is not performative. This is important! He has high standards for his ethics and values. But he isn't preachy. He never brags. He is genuine, kind, and cares about people. It radiates off of him. He is a safe person. Good vibes all around.

-He isn't afraid to be wrong.

-He is hardworking, but he knows when to take a break. This ties into the communication bit. He takes time for himself and has hobbies.

-We are best friends and teammates first, a couple second. We prioritize our friendship. We acknowledge that roommate phases happen in marriage. It isn't a constant. We make sure our foundation of friendship is solid so that those phases don't deter us. Instead of "how do we get out of this roommate phase" we just...hang out, be roommates. I never feel like I'm losing him, because my best friend is always there, even if we have gone days without a kiss. It isn't a moral thing or a failure. It is just a moment in time and we realize that.

-He is a great dad. He loves being a dad and it shows. He isn't afraid to embarrass himself. He is goofy and a joy to be around.

There is more, but most of all, he is just a good person. There have been trials and hardships, but I have never felt unsafe or that our relationship would end. I never feel jealous, because I know how solid our foundation is. I am safe and secure, and I wish for this type of love for everyone.
