Well since nobody has said anything I'm gonna be the first to jump in. I've started to post something several times but just couldn't put it into words but last night I finally figured out how to explain it some.

I know sometimes I tend to post more than needed but those long posts are normally something I'm extremely passionate about, so in my typical fashion here I go hijacking the thread.

If all women need is Love then I am more than fulfilled and want for nothing. This man completes me leaving me feeling content and at peace for the first time in my life. With a simple phone call or card, a glance across the room or a night filled with passion, he is 'My Wind, My First Knight and My Sacred Blessing'.

If all men need is 'Respect' then it’s a privilege to Honor the Boy who became the Man I Love. Love that radiates not only from my heart, but from my whole body, mind and soul. He is a man of Honor, Truth, Integrity, Character, Morals, and 'strong family values'. To his 'Wind' I am the 'Rain', Comforting, Encouraging, Supportive: 'Keeper of His Light'. From Trip Planning to cooking dinner and doing his laundry to whatever he may need he has my total Devotion and undying Love, Respect and Admiration.

I know this may sound corny and like your typical cliché but to call this 'Love' simply doesn't seem to do this incredible feeling justice. Hellen Keller was right when she wrote, " The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched-they must be felt with the heart".

Our relationship is based on many things but Truth, Communication, Trust and ‘doing the right thing simply because it is the right thing to do’ stand at the core of this bond. We both say what we mean and mean what we say and are commited to this.

Honestly we both are still tryin to figure out how to even describe this and most times are just so blown away that we even found each other. It was all by sheer accident really. I had given up all hope of finding that love that time stands still for.

I thought he was 'SOMEONE' else being sneaky and posting under another name. I don’t know if I’ve ever told my friend this let alone thanked him. So to Art, MY 'shocking' friend I simply say.......Thank You for this most beautiful 'Gift of Life', may you someday be as blessed in finding the same.

My Dh is one of those who most definitely needs to be 'loved'. Maybe he's one of the few...but he definitely needs an even combination of love and respect. He's far more demonstrative of his 'love' for me than I am...that's just how we each are. I sometimes have to remind him of that, too. We've been together 25 years, married for 23 of those. I cannot imagine being without him. We had a LOT of rough spots...but we got through them and are rock-solid.

I have tremendous respect for my guy...he may be a total PITA at times, but he sure is a true 'stand up guy'. I prefer a man who's not afraid to speak his mind and stand behind his family and convictions, and that is definitely him!

Up untill about 8 months ago David said I had to accept him as the "###" he is LOL nawww he is not and I never bought that. He use to be a cowboy so yall know its hard to love one of them. He is tough and can be the who points out the truth with no tact. I am high stung HIGH maintance city girl. I want nice thing and to be spoiled. I have learned through life its people NOT things who make life matter.
8 months ago David started changing .....he would say I love you first, he would say something nice to make me feel good, he would lean over and kiss me at a truck stop ( YES in front of other truckers) The trip before last he stopped in Lubbuck and took me to a movie I had no idea I though he took the wrong turn. This last trip we went into a store and he rushed me out, I thought something was wrong but when we got back in the truck he had bought me a feather rose. I did not see it till he gave it to me awwwwwww. I made turkey salad and he said he picky about his food and I was worried he wouldnt like it, He told me today he made a sandwitch and it was great best turkey salad he has had in a long time.
Yes he has figured out how to make me feel loved by him and is doing it.
He needs to feel needed which I LOL do need him. I ask him how to handle certian people. What I should do about my soon to be ex GRRRRRRRRRR What I need to do about moving, where to move.

I think what it really comes down to is making your partner feel love or tell them you love them how they need to hear it.
