What do you admire about your spouse (or significant other)?

I’ll get us started …

Truly there are too many things for me to list that I admire about my hubs, Steve. But one of the things that I admire the most about him is his consistency. No matter what is going on around us, he is always so constant. This comes in handy during chaotic or stressful situations because he is consistently the calming, logical presence that carries us through to the other side. With that comes such sound judgment that I treasure. It gives me confidence that, in times where I am not around, he will still always do the right thing, make the right decision, and implement integrity and discernment. He just possesses this quiet strength and steadiness that I appreciate so much and always hope will rub off on me.

Okay, it’s your turn!

Share your thoughts, feelings, and stories as well as respond to others regarding these questions:

What Easter traditions exist in your home?

I’ll get us started …

Easter is one of my favorite holidays. As a Christian, this is the time to celebrate the victory we have in Jesus. Easter is the heart of what we believe and why we believe it. One of the things I did with my family growing up and now with my husband to celebrate is go to Easter church services. There’s something about being in church remembering the sacrifice and victory of our Savior that moves me very deeply, which is why it’s a tradition that we will always keep.

Another fun thing my family started and my husband and I have continued is an Easter egg coloring contest. We definitely get creative in my family adhering things to our eggs and using whatever means we can to win. You see, my dad judges the eggs and picks his top 3. Even though I haven’t been home in years for Easter with my family, we still email pictures of our eggs to be judged. It’s a tradition that we have a lot of fun with.

Okay, it’s your turn!

Share your thoughts, feelings, and stories as well as respond to others regarding these questions:

What has your spouse done for you in the past couple of weeks that especially made you feel loved? If you aren’t married, is there a friend or family member that made you feel this way?

I’ll get us started …

It was a particularly stressful and emotional day, and I was absolutely drained and exhausted. My husband, Steve, had me kick back on the couch while he rubbed my feet with lotion. Not only did it feel incredible and relax me completely, but it made me feel so loved. It communicated that he recognized my emotional state, cared, and was willing to do something about it. Literally, it made my heart well up with love for and from him.

Okay, it’s your turn!

Share your thoughts, feelings, and stories as well as respond to others regarding these questions:

What was your favorite part of your wedding day? If you aren’t married, is there a specific moment you are looking forward to on your wedding day?

I’ll get us started …

I’m sure I’m not the only one who feels this way (at least I hope I’m not), but I thoroughly enjoyed every second of my wedding day! It was perfect, and although it went by super quickly, my husband and I tried to take specific moments to soak it all in.

Of course I can’t just pick one moment, so I will list my top three. The first one was the look on Steve’s face when I appeared at the top of the stairs arm-in-arm with my father. I looked forward to that moment our entire relationship, and his reaction is still burned into my mind and heart. Secondly, I loved the moment when we said our vows. I really felt the presence of the Holy Spirit unite us as one in an indescribable and unforgettable way. Finally, during our last song of the night, we slow danced while all of our guests circled around us. I remember peering at each face as we spun around, and to this day, I cry thinking about how precious it was having all of those special people I love there for the most important day of my life.

Okay, it’s your turn!

Share your thoughts, feelings, and stories as well as respond to others regarding these questions:

What top three qualities did you look for in your spouse? If you aren’t married yet, what top three qualities are you looking for in a spouse?

I’ll get us started …

For me, the number one quality I looked for in my husband was that he loved the Lord with all of his heart. Being on the same page spiritually was something I learned to be an absolute must! Plus, I knew that if he loved Christ and had a personal relationship with Him, then he would know how to love me and fulfill his God-given role as a husband.

Secondly, I needed a husband that I could have fun with! A merry heart does good, like medicine (Proverbs 17:22). Laughter for me is absolutely essential, and Steve and I laugh together all of the time. We have the best time no matter where we are or what we are doing, and I love that!

Thirdly, I looked for someone with a strong conviction and leadership qualities. I’m a strong personality myself, so I wanted to make sure my husband could give me a run for my money. It was important to have a man that is a strong, wise leader that I could come alongside with complete trust and confidence. Steve is definitely the strong leader I needed and looked for.

Okay, it’s your turn!

Share your thoughts, feelings, and stories as well as respond to others regarding these questions:

How does your spouse encourage you to pursue your passions? How do you encourage him/her to do the same?

I’ll get us started …

Something I really admire and love about my husband, Steve, is that he is always so supportive of my passions. He always has been, and there are few things that mean more to me than having that support, love, and encouragement. One of my biggest passions is to help relationships and marriages thrive. Obviously that manifested itself through Foundation Restoration. From day 1 Steve believed in my vision, passion, and pursuit of making Foundation Restoration a reality, and it’s the reason this organization even exists.

Because it means so much to me to have Steve’s support in the things I do, I want to be and do the same for him. One thing he enjoys, and I’ve really tried to encourage him to pursue is his interest in music. Whether it’s buying him a mixer or cheering him on to take guitar lessons, I want to be his #1 fan in everything he does.

I don’t know about you, but having your spouse in your corner on something is one of the greatest feelings! And being that support system for your spouse is even better!

Okay, it’s your turn!
