After 5 years together, 4 of them married, I still think the husband and I - well we have a very good thing. And sometimes, I think it's the little things we do for each other that matter more than anything else.
Like the way last week he re-arranged his afternoon to ensure I'd get home in time to go for my long run so we wouldn't be so late getting home that I'd be too tired to go.
Like the way when I'm so rude as to butt in front of him at the bathroom sink, shoving him out of the way so I can get in there? Well I at least rub my butt up against him in a lapdance-like fashion to distract him from my rudeness. And might I say it works EVERY time...
Like the way he'll warn me to look away when he's chewing the meat off a bone from some ribs we ate. He knows I have a weird aversion to meat being chewed off bones [other than wings], so he at least is kind enough to warn me not to look.
Like the way I'll yell "I'M PEEING, I'M PEEING, I'M PEEEEEEEING!!!" if he comes anywhere near the bathroom when I was too lazy to close the door. I'm very good about protecting the "don't see each other on the toilet" rule.
Like the way he always calls me his beautiful wife. "Good morning my beautiful wife", "How's your day my beautiful wife?". Even when I gained that 10lbs.
Like the way I don't make fun of him anymore for bobbing his head to the music. I just smile and laugh INSIDE now, cuz I know he's self-conscious about it.
Like the way when I finally got to create my master spreadsheet of PLANS(!) and LISTS(!) for the kid, he just laughed and laughed at "how cute" I am. Which is probably code for crazy, but the key is that he didn't use the WORD crazy.
Like the way I will send his grandmother a gift without even involving him, and she'll get so excited about it, that he gets to be happy all day knowing that we made her so happy.
Like the way he can ask me if I want anything, and I can say I want Starbucks but want him to just go and do his thing and I can get it myself? He'll offer to get it for me anyway. And when I offer that I genuinely will get it myself, he laughs and knows I really don't want to, but I'm sincere in my offer in spite of that.
Like the way when he goes to Starbucks to get me what I really WOULD have gotten but didn't want to get, I'll get up and get his breakfast started so when he comes home, his food will be hot and ready to serve.

He's a beautiful husband.
Awwww. I'm feeling all melty inside now. Hurrah for wonderful husbands!
I feel the same way, and I think it's the kindness that we do everyday for each other that makes the relationship work, I love my husband, I love how he knows me, and how he can talk me down off the wall when I need it.
What a sweet post! :)
You are good together. It's great the way you take care of each other.
It's definitely the little things. You two rock together!
A good husband is hard to find. Sounds like you two have a great relationship.
Sounds like you have a wonderful husband and an awesome relationship with each other!
What a wonderful husband he is!
Awww I was just thinking the other day how wonderful my husband was and how lucky I am. Glad you caught a good one too!
He sounds like a wonderful man. Your little bean is lucky to have the both of you!
Aaaawwww...y'all sound a lot like my husband and me.
You have a good husband.
I have a meat-on-the-bone thing too, and it doesn't apply only to meat... it's anything you chew off of anything: corn on the cob, apple from the core... etc. I'd rather cut up my food first so I don't have to eat it off of anything. (I like meat, apples, corn... weird).
Yah I do the butt thing too. It WORKS. Always.
What a sweet post! Sounds like Mr. Chicklet will be a great support for you during the rest of your pregnancy, your labor, and those early days with the BABY! I don't know how women with selfish, asshole husbands get through any of these things, so I'm glad to hear how awesome your husband is!
Oh, you two are just so cute and sweet with each other. Your post made me smile.
Sounds like you guys have an awesome relationship :-) My husband and I are like that...I thank God every day for him.
You have a good one there. I love this post. :)
Don't ever let those little kindnesses go. Even after kids it's still possible. 4 kids,17 years of marriage. When they grow up and move away you'll still like and respect each other.
Ahhh. True love!
You've got a good man there. Maybe I should try that lapdance style move next time I cut infront of my husband at the sink.
I thought my hubby and I were the only married couple that still have the bathroom as off limits when we have to go.... I do the "I'm peeing!" yell too!
