Why I love my wife!

It's been a little over 4 months since we got married, and I continue to realize over and over again, day in and day out, what a wonderful woman and wife Julia is. Here are some things she's done and said that have literally built me up:

  1. She nurtures well. She has an incredible capacity to love and take care of others, especially me, even when she's feeling exhausted. She's tenacious and doesn't give up.
  2. She listens well. She is very good at asking how my day was, listening to everything I have to say, asking relevant questions, and giving pertinent feedback. She helps me process what's going on around me.
  3. She complements well. She completes me. Pardon the cliche. But she does. I am more of a man because of her.
  4. She compliments well. One of my primary love languages is words of affirmation. And she does a good job of encouraging me and building me up with her words.
  5. She cooks well! Yummy... enough said! :)
There's a little glimpse into our world.
