Over 365 reasons why I love my husband - My husband is the best... and here is why. Enough reasons to fill a year.


I know there will be more and I am keeping record of them every day for my knowledge but

these are a few of my feelings, memories, things Daniel does that I just love, why I married him

why I love him, there are some poems, quotes and song lyrics that remind me of him

or how I feel about him, there are things he does to me and for me. The main purpose

for this box was to be positive and uplifting for Daniel so that he will know in every way

possible that he is loved so much by me. I did take out about 30 "personal" things I do

have in his box… for our eyes only… sorry. These are in NO particular order.



This is what I put on the lid of the box…



You mean so much to me, it's hard to find a way to tell you you're loved each and every day,

so many loving thoughts I hold within my heart. Although our lives change,

of mine you'll always be a part. Maybe this will help to show how much I care.

My life today and always with you I want to share.



Let these words not only touch your eyes, let it travel through your soul,

and let it rest in your heart, as you rest in mine, 'I love you.'

to my cousin Lynn about him and right after I hung up,

it hit me. He was THE ONE and I'd know for sure the next time I saw him, and there he was,

he opened the door and there was a line on his face from sleeping and his hair was all

pressed to one side and he was half awake. I hugged him so fast I didn't want to let go. I just knew.
305 I can't sleep, I can't breathe until he's resting here with me
306 I love how his soul wraps around mine
307 He shows his love for me by all the things he does
308 I remember the very moment we said "I love you" for the very first time to each other,

immediately after we were embraced in the most wonderful hug
309 He made my playroom dream a reality
310 He can drive across the country and NOT get lost!
311 He would spend his lunch hour just to watch me sleep
312 He came all the way home from work just so we could…. Uuuuh, hang out.
313 He laughed with me about my first grey hair
314 He LOVES sushi
315 He was willing to try sushi for the first time when we were friends
316 I love that we can be open with each other… "that made ME feel better!"

340 Meeting and falling in love with him has been the best present I have ever been given
341 My body fills with tingles every time he touches me
342 We have the same earthly and eternal goals - Love does not consist of gazing at each other,

but in looking together in the same direction.

347 I love him more now than when you began to read this sentence.
348 He takes the blame for everything even if it really isn't his fault - "It's not my fault I love you, it's yours."
349 Lovers walking hand in hand, oblivious to everything, but each other. Not a single word passes between us,

there was nothing we needed to utter. This reminds me of us 100% and I love him for it!
350 You have to walk carefully in the beginning of love; the running across fields into your lover's arms can only

come later when you're sure they won't laugh if you trip. Well, at least we were holding hands as we ran across the field and I tripped.

I'm glad he laughed though.. his laugh can make any embarrassing moment funny and not embarrassing!
351 He says I love you over 500 times a day because it never seems like enough -

The most important things are the hardest to say, because words diminish them.

353 Knowing he is my husband makes me so proud, he would stand out in any crowd.
354 He is the missing piece of my heart that I've been waiting so long for, it was something I found very hard to ignore.

Now I truly feel whole, and I'm looking forward to our future days together, that will be spent with him.

356 I love him to the depth and breadth and height my soul can reach.
357 I can truly say - We love with a love that is more than love
358 Truly in love I am with him
