Why We Work

I saw another blogger post about why her relationship "worked" in the sprit of Valentine's Day and challenged others to do the same.

 I figured hey, why not? I love my cute fiancé and this just gives me another excuse to write about how great he is! Plus, I'm in the sappy "I'm getting married" part of life so he is my favorite thing to talk about, after all.

We work because he listens to me, no matter how dumb or irrational I am being.

We work because we communicate. Communication is huge for us as most of our relationship has been spent long distance. I trust that I can tell him absolutely anything.

 We work because he never tells me I'm wrong, he only points out a better way to think about things. (Which usually leads me to understand that I am, indeed, wrong.)

We work because he shares his candy with me.... trust me, this boy loooooves his sweets. It's a big deal.


We work because I cant get enough of his handsome little smirks and blue eyes.

We work because I catch him smiling at me for no reason and because I also love to look at him. He is the reason I am always smiling.

We work because we aren't afraid of feelings. Both of us are comfortable telling each other how we feel, good or bad.

We work because we ALWAYS make each other our first priority. Even almost 6 hours apart, we always make time for each other. Also on that note, thank goodness for Skype! (:


We work because he holds my hand in the car.

We work because we think all the same silly things are funny, and he is the only person who almost always laughs at my jokes. I'm really not that funny, but Marty always thinks I am.

We work cause we make ugly and silly faces at each other for fun.

We work because we never stop laughing. We can be doing absolutely nothing, and we always ending up laughing and having the time of our lives.

 We work because he always lets me try his more yummy dinner when I order something of the healthier variety.

We work because we laugh at each others quirks.

We work because he laughs at my goofy lazy eye and I laugh about his sleepy faces. (Seriously though, this boy kills me with his early morning faces. They are stinking adorable!)

We work because he doesn't laugh at me when beautiful words or things move me to tears. Instead he smiles and squeezes my hand or pulls me close.

We work because he watches all my favorite chick flicks with me as long as I watch his favorite action movies with him.

We work because he lets me read when we snuggle.

We works because when I fall asleep on him, he doesn't move, even when his arms are asleep.

We work because we are grateful for each other. We know that meeting was not coincidence we are grateful to our Heavenly Father for bringing us together.

We work because we both make mistakes. Neither of us are perfect, but we always seem to love each other through the mistakes and hard times.

We work because I'm overly sensitive, and he is more reasonable with his feelings.

We work because he makes fun of all the clothes I have, and I make fun of all the guns he has. He goes shopping with me and I go shooting with him.

We work because we love each other more than anything, and it only continues to grow.

I hope you enjoyed my cheesy post and also learned a bit about our relationship (: I challenge you to make your own list- to post or to share with your significant other. Happy Valentine's Day! Especially to that cute boy I'm writing about- Love you, babe!
