Giving Thanks for Greg…

Oops… I thought I posted this last Friday while on a wonderful romantic get-a-way with my husband, but obviously my head was in the clouds and I accidentally filed it in my “drafts” folder instead of publishing it.  Oh well, it’s never too late to be thankful, so…

This seems like the appropriate time of year to GIVE THANKS for the many wonderful character traits our husbands possess! According to researchers David Buss from The University of Texas at Austin and Todd Shackelford from Florida Atlantic University, there are four qualities women really want in a man:

  1. Good genes, reflected in desirable physical traits
  2. Economic resources
  3. The desire to have children and good parenting skills
  4. Loyalty and devotion

When I first read this list, I declared out loud, “I have ALL of these in my husband, PLUS some!” In addition to being incredibly handsome, a good provider, a great father, and still madly in love with me even after 19 years of some pretty unlovable moments, I’d also have to say that Greg is the backbone of this ministry, my emotional stability, my spiritual rock, my best friend, and… yep, a FANTASTIC lover!!!

What are YOU most thankful for in your husband?

Once you share your sentiments with us, why don’t you go show him how much he means to you by bestowing a little sexual confidence on him?

Wishing you a heart full of gratitude,

Shannon

    Dear Shannon,

    This is great. Glad you had such a good weekend you forgot where you put your posts.

    Good reminder to be thankful for our spouses.

    Amen! I’m SO grateful for this post, it’s important we also look at the positive sides of our husband because they need our encouragement more than we realize. My husband is a man who starves himself of “images” of other women and thus finds me and my imperfect body irresistible. I’m grateful for my hubby’s sensitive heart, discipline with money, and love for God. Oh and he’s seriously hot!
