From Sweet to Savvy: 22 Posts About Husbands Who Got it Right

My husband called on his way home from work to ask if I wanted a cheeseburger. I said I didn’t, I would just have one bite of his. He brought me home my own cheeseburger and I think this is why our marriage has lasted over 14 years now.

My husband went on his first business trip in over a year. I got home from work and within 5 minutes the doorbell rang. It was the pizza delivery man, with a note that said, "Moms are superheros. See you in 2 days."

While I recovered from a minor surgery my husband taught our 10 year old son how to do his own laundry start to finish.
If I wasn’t already married to my husband I would marry him.

My mom complained that she gained five pounds over the weekend and without skipping a beat, my dad said, “I saw the grandkids messing with the scale. I’ll fix it.” Pretty sure I saw my husband taking notes.

Tonight my husband said “I don’t know what we would do without you. This house & family would fall apart.”

These words were exactly the ones I needed to hear.
Literally. These. Exact. Words.

I feel like some other moms might need to hear them too, so partners — give it a try.

Before he left town for 2 weeks, my husband (sneakily) filled my gas tank, programmed the coffee maker to start up at 6am, returned my stack of books to the library, and put his sleep shirt over a pillow in our bed. That’s love right there.

My husband woke up this morning and said "I was just about to complain about how tired I am. But I can tell that you slept worse, so I'll stay quiet about it."

Never give up hope, people. Miracles can happen!

Asked my Grandpa what the secret to staying married is. He said, "I said I do so I will."

That's more profound than most people know

Husbands looking to reignite the spark in your marriage, have you ever tried taking her to Home Goods to check out the fall decor and then maybe lunch at that chicken salad place?

Before my parents married, my mom got cold feet because she couldn’t cook. She said one night, “It will never work. I can’t cook!!”

My Greek dad said calmly, “You can cook five things, no?”
Mom, “Yeah..”
Dad, “Great, we’ll go out to dinner on weekends.”

My husband gave me a card the week before my birthday. Inside is a list of the days of the week with a corresponding restaurant. I am to be at these restaurants on these days (1pm) and a different friend will be joining me for lunch everyday. I won't know who until I get there.

I was reading and our son tried to ask me something.
My husband stops him and goes:

“What’s in her hand?”
“A book.”
“What’s in my hand?”
“Nothing.”
“So who do you go talk to?”

The way I’ve never felt more supported in my life.
