I got her this, a box of chocolates, a dozen roses and two cards. She is a GEM! Gave me the sweetest baby four months ago. A great mother, a great wife, and one hell of a woman!

Happy Valentines Day. I have the best wife that anyone could want. Surely I am not alone. Come on, Freeper guys, tell me if you have a great bride and why. Freeper ladies, you are invited to participate also.
I just love your words. Happy Valentines Day to you and your lovely wife.
You are both blessed. :)
My husband is strong, yet the sweetest person I’ve ever met. He’s a 6’2” Virginia born-and-bred guy, Southern and conservative through-and-through. This morning before he left for work he took me in his arms and told me he loves me more than anything. God blessed me so much when he brought us together. It’ll be 17 years in August for us.
Happy Valentine’s Day, Freepers!
Happy VD to all, and to all a Happy VD
Me and my Valentine have been together for 28 years, and together we have four beautiful children; who could ask for more? Thank you for this sweet thread.
It will, please God, be 44 years for us in July. My wife is conservative, an FR lurker - and when our kids were grown she still had a figure that many a woman of twenty five could envy. I couldn’t believe my good fortune when I found her - I proposed about six weeks after our first date, and we were married six months after that date.She cooks, too - a Home Ec teacher by training. Our daughter’s friend once remarked at our table that the food was always good here, but you never have to hate yourself for eating it.
A young man who was being pressured by his family about marriage once asked about how my family related to my wife initially. I replied that Dad and Mother picked us up at the airport when they first met her - and after a twenty-minute drive home Dad flashed me the high sign behind her back while she was walking into the door of the house. And Mother didn’t take much longer. The young man asked, “But what would you have done if your mother hadn’t approved?” I replied, “I would have thought that she had taken leave of her senses.”
I stand by that judgement.
Wow. 42 years! Congratulations.
HAPPY VALENTINE’S DAY TO EVERYONE.
Obviously, I didn’t read far enough. 44 years?! Congratulations to you as well!
That’s a great story of your early days together.

Just 26 years for us. I say “just” because it really does not seem like that has been a long time to me. She is truly my best friend and the love of my life, anything I do is made better by her presence. She has a great sense of humor, is an awesome mom, can cook up a storm, and lets me believe that I’m in charge. LOL! Sweetheart, thank you for being a blessing to me and our family.
Take from an old guy, no matter what they may say, jewelry is always a great gift.
A gift that pays off time after time! She looks great wearing it and remembers how much she loves me whenever she does. When we used to date I could easily spend $100 a night. That there was cheaper than two nights out!
You are lucky man. I shouldn’t have clicked on this thread. Now I’m in tears—we’ve been married for over 22 years and this was by far the worst Valentine’s Day ever.
I’m sorry to be such a buzzkill.
Flowers and jewelry always help women feel loved and feminine.
