Oh congratulations, what a blessing to have been married for 38 yrs. Your 38 reasons are all fabulous, shows the true picture of a godly man. Congratulations again. Hugs, Marty
ReplyDeleteHappy Anniversary!
ReplyDeleteI'd say he's a keeper! He IS handsome, too! Happy Anniversary! Way to go! Good picking!
ReplyDeleteHappy Anniversary. Almost all if not all of these could be said about my husband too. Although since we've been married 51 years I guess I would have to come up with a few more reasons. LOL. I don't think it would be hard to do.

Oh, Happy Anniversary sister Mary to both of you! I don't think no.38 is true because you are a sweet, loving woman and I think it's not him putting up with you but I think it's him loving you for a lot of reasons he saw in you himself!!! That's a beautiful pic of you together!
ReplyDeleteMay you have a wonderful weekend and God bless you both with many more years. Thank you for your prayers sister mary. Love you.
Oh Mary! That was beautiful! Happy Anniversary! Congratulations!
ReplyDeleteMy Sweet Friend,
ReplyDeleteHappy Anniversary! What a beautiful, beautiful picture of both of you. You are blessed with a wonderful, loving husband as he is blessed with such a loving, caring, beautiful wife. I love the 38 reasons why you love your husband. That was such a good idea of your daughter's.
I want you to know my sweet and precious friend that I am deeply, deeply praying. There have been troubled times here with physical stuff and other things, but in the midst of everything, I am praying fervently for you and so many others.
I love you my dear sweet sister Mary and again, Happy, Happy Anniversary!
Love, Hugs and Prayers,

Mary,
ReplyDeleteHappy Anniversary!!! What a beautiful tribute to your husband! He would have to be pretty special to have caught your eye so many years ago!
This is an example of a godly marriage and one that the Lord has blessed abundantly! What a blessing!!
Give your daughter a hug and ask her to hug you back from me ok :) I love you so very much and am praying continually!
Mary, what a gem! I love those 38 reasons. Happy Anniversary to you two. And I'm praying. Please give Carrie a hug from me.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea your daughter had. Thank you for sharing, thank you for THANKING GOD!
ReplyDeleteI love this, Mary!
ReplyDeleteLast Valentine's Day I was kind of "broke" and out of ideas ... then, thought to write a list of 100 reasons I love DH. THAT was harder than I first thought. In fact, I'm wishing you were my "ghost writer!" What a lovely tribute to your Love!
Hugs,
Myra
No wonder your marriage has endured! You describe a man worthy of respect, and for me that's a HUGE factor in not only remaining married, but doing so with sustained passion and love.
ReplyDeleteHappy Anniversary! You're a great example to those that follow.
Hugs,
Kathleen

ReplyDeleteI'm sorry I missed saying Happy Anniversary to you and your husband.

Belated congrats! When you are done with this man, you need to pass him around! :) Well, if he was a bloggin' man, I'm sure he would say the same wonderful attributes about his wonderful wife! Continued blessings upon your marriage, my friends.
