He knows I love them. But he will never, never, buy a card, not for anything. He is the world's least romantic man (even the roses come with 'can you find somewhere for them?').<BR/><BR/>But he is the one person in this whole wide world who loves me unconditionally, even if I haven't brushed my teeth yet, even if I keep asking for the moon and he's still chasing after whatever I wanted yesterday. I don't think this man has an enemy in the world, everyone likes him because he is so easy to like.<BR/><BR/>Loving him is no problem at all!<BR/><BR/>Angie, xxAngiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10015569343069499036noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3568318030915787600.post-28630689270009644992009-02-14T20:41:00.000-06:002009-02-14T20:41:00.000-06:00Picture me smiling!

I looked at him, elbow-deep in grease and grime as he is installing our new water softener...and I explained that there was no need for an apology. He works hard all day so I can stay at home for our children; he makes sure my gas tank is always filled and oil changed; he reroofs the house during his hot, summer vacation....etc.<BR/><BR/>In other words -- he shows me he loves me by the things he does on a daily basis. That to me is love.<BR/><BR/>And thank you for such a lovely post.

I'll try with pictures. And before anyone gets overly exercised about dancing in the church or my use of the word "ancients" to describe my beloved older mentors, you're reading too much into it. Trust me. <BR/><BR/>Happy love day, Marlene. You're so very right about marriage and loving the one we're with, without all the bells and whistles to go alongside.

But does it matter? Nope! He is a faithful husband who loves me and the Lord, he is a hard worker, and a good dad and grandpa.
