His and Hers XX
His and Hers is a weekly discussion of a question or topic relating to marriage. On Friday, my wife and I each write our thoughts on the week's topic. I invite other bloggers to do the same with their spouses as an exercise in celebrating marriage. This week's question is:
What is a symbol of a trait you value in your spouse?
Mrs. Happy's response
I like to think of Curt as a blanket. He's soft and warm, he makes me comfortable and cozy, and he provides security in a world of uncertainty. On a cold, rainy day, I can wrap him around me and feel safe. The rest of the time, I just sit on him.
Curt's response
I love the fact that my wife is affectionate and that her affection originates from love rather than neediness. The best symbol that I can think of is a dog, because there is no love and affection more pure in this world than that of a dog for his human. That's how she is: expressive and not solicitous, loving and not manipulative.
