Sometimes we get so worked up that we forget about the things in life which matter most.

Today I'd like us all to share stories about our wonderful loved ones who complete us and make life whole as by God's design.

I'll share about my amazing beautiful wife first by I hope to see lots of fellow bragging in the comments.

My wife grew up on a farm and had a good Christian upbringing. She ate healthy farm fresh food straight from the dirt, hunted starlings with a BB gun and was roped in from a young age to help with harvesting and bringing food to market.

Even she was 11, she was in a seriously bad car crash that resulted in breaking both femurs, both hips, both wrists, her grandma died and they had to use the jaws of life to get her out and hold her face together in one piece. Her brother only remembers her screaming as she was conscious for the whole ordeal, she doesn't remember: thank God.

She spent 1 month at sick kids and another 5 at hospital, then another 6 months before she proved the Doctor wrong and started walking again. She never gave up and continued to do the things she loved, eventually earning her black belt in Wado Kai Karate and getting her teaching certificate for Karate.

She told me that she's wanted to be with me from the first time she saw me walking down the halls in Grade 9, when I was a Wimpy, couldn't talk to girls, bully target. She tried to approach to talk. But I'm autistic and I was suffering PTSD from having a crazy mom and being physically abused daily by my peers on top of verbal abuse.

Every so often she'd try to get close to me, but she's pragmatic and didn't try too hard. One day, when I was 19, after I had worked on my self-confidence and social issues, she grabbed my but at the local bar.

We were married in within the year.

She always had my back and she always works to understand me. She believes in me and tells me about how wonderful I am all the time. She's always asking me for more babies. She worked to put me through college. She saw me throug another nervous breakdown (again the result of life pressure and bullying, I'd have left that job, but I thought I could just dissociate from the problems because we needed the money... Didn't work).

She's frugal, she hates shopping, she hates makeup, she's 105 lbs after 2 kids, I get physical intimacy literally whenever I approach her for it.

She's completely devoted herself as a wife to me and I couldn't ask for more or better.

She cooks, cleans, breastfeeds, eats healthy, homeschools our kids, makes herbal medicine.

She rubs lotion on my aches when I'm sore.

It's our 11th anniversary in two weeks. She's a dream and I love her.

I'm so grateful for what I have.
