Is she filipina? heh, I’m going on number 2 because my ex wife was none of things, heck after 10 years and 3 tours, she left me for another army guy.

That was a few years back, now things are looking a lot better.

You truly are a blessed man. Many husbands yearn for what you have.

Ping... You prompted me a few weeks to do a Valentine thread about our wives; here it is.

You forgot to buy her a card, right?

Boy are you lucky. I have a mean wife.
She won’t let me chase women or get drunk. She only feeds me 3 meals a day (I have to get my own snacks) She expects me to work for a living. She ignores me when she is cleaning the house and lately she has been driving me to and from MD Anderson for my radiation treatments. Can’t get away from her. And to top it all off, she says after 38 years the only reason she hasn’t divorced me is because I haven’t suffered enough.
(At least she does have a good sense of humor)

“It always looks and smells like woman is in charge around here”

I was reading along and nodding in agreement about my wife, but you lost me there. Our formal living room is that way, but we have six kids, three of whom are home schooled. I’m currently reading “Cheaper By the Dozen” to our fourth-grader, and the organized chaos they maintained is a lot like us - I like to joke that we went for the half-dozen discount instead. Like the book, Dad is often the main instigator of the chaos, and it take a special woman to put up with it.

Mrs. blueunicorn6 is an expert pistol shot. She only wings me when I don’t do the laundry. Nothing says love like a well placed shot.

What a beautiful tribute to your wife!! You are both fortunate to have each other and may God continue to bless you both.

Since my dad is 89 & not computer literate, I’ll just have to write a little somethin’ somethin’ about dad and mom. They’ve been happily married for 58 years. The biggest blessing & gift of this long, happy marriage, from my perspective, is that I and my two brothers have always had a stable home and the love and support of our parents. They have never argued in any meaningful way and certainly not in front of ‘us kids’ so the examples they set in their marriage have been followed by their kids. Both parents were very happy to see their first grandchild get married in November, a very happy occasion for the whole family.

So - Happy Valentine’s day to all the husbands & wives out there and may you all be blessed with long and happy marriages, filled with love.

“my Mississippi Magnolia”

I think she’s really a “Cherry” more than a Magnolia. “Cherry 2000” that is.

I have a great wife. I will never forget the day when I came home and saw my Ma, my wife-to-be, and a red guy sitting at the kitchen table. My wife-to-be looked kind of scared, the guy was laughing, and Ma was dealin out the cards. Who was the guy, you ask? I never found out for sure, but I think he was the devil himself.

I guess they worked it out amongst themselves, the three of them. I am happy, never worry about anything. My wife is nice looking and very practical, nothin arty about her. No problem with the kids, so far.

One time, my wife came in with a bunch of groceries, and my son just watched as she put them away. She lit into the boy, and the next thing, I saw his tremblin hand puttin away canned food in the refrigerator.

I showed her her valentine card ahead of time. She got mad, because there has to be a surprise. So I will have to get her something else. Part of my job is to take care of her emotional needs.

so, gentlemen, surprise your wife today!

My wife is a blessing from God.
She loves her Lord and Savior more than anything else.
She loves our Children.
She wants what is best for our family
She is frugal... Almost to a fault.
She is beautiful and doesn’t like to flaunt it.
She is more faithful than I could ever be.

She loves me.

What a blessed man I am.
