What Do You Admire In Your Spouse?

Can't answer this without crying! Hard to see...I left an abusive marriage of 23 1/2 years...2 months later I met my soul mate.....We've been together for 6 years, this Halloween...He's 18 years my senior, but you couldn't tell it...We have everything in common! He's very protective of me, and SO attentive!!! He spoils me, and I love to spoil him!!! I wouldn't know what to do without him...Great sense of humor, just like me....we both like to cut-up! Ha!  Love your picture. Cute! What service?...Love, Cyndi

He could be so mad at me and still say I love you. He comforts me when I'm down even if it's my own doing. He is honest and open with me. He is very intelligent. He puts up with my crap, and my childish sense of humor. Hope to marry him some day, we have been living together for 2 years.

There are so many things that I admire about my husband.
 He treats me with much respect, listens to me when I talk to him, very patient with people, takes care of me when I am not feeling well. He is kind and considerate, but always stands up for what is right. He's honest and dependable. He doesn't just tell me, he shows how much he loves me.
 He is definitely my soul mate. We are like the same person in two bodies.
We understand each other and still dislike being apart, after all these years.
He truely is the other half of me and I would walk through fire for him and I know he would do the same for me.

Best answer "everything".  Actually I admire her honesty, and her ability to put up with my sense of humor.  (Actually I admire her ability to put up with all my faults)  

I agree with Foxdave. But mainly the way he puts me first all the time tells me how lovely I am and loves me just as much as I love him.

I used to admire how he would stick to a job until he finished it. But then I figured out that he was never finishing it....We are now getting divorced.

My spouse, works harder than anyone I have ever seen. He is not young anymore, yet he still outworks his employees. He can do anything, I think. Cars, home maintenance. He moves people and can fit their belongings like puzzle pieces on a trailer, and can do it in less than 30 minutes. He is a soft touch when it comes to money, and he helps everyone.
