Watching my Prince Swim through Shark Infested Waters

"Men are simple - not simpletons - but simple in their needs ... They need appreciation, approval and affection from their woman; and when they get that, they will swim through shark-infested waters to bring us lemonade."    Dr. Laura Schlessinger

Every time I hear this quote I can't help but to think of my amazing husband. 

Just tonight...We are laying on the couch watching "How I Met Your Mother"
He is in his pajamas...comfortable, relaxed, content.
I mention that I have been craving hot wings for a couple days
and he gets up puts on his shoes and brings me Wing Stop.

How did I get him? Honestly??

The thing is this is a normal occurrence for Josh. 

He is ALWAYS there to fulfill my every need...

not because I make him or ask him to, but because he genuinely WANTS to!

The fact that Josh would be more than willing to swim through shark infested waters for me is no secret.

Anyone who has been around us for more than 10 minutes can tell you that.

But it just made me wonder...

Do I give him the appreciation, approval and affection that he needs??

Sadly, the answer is probably...No.

Not on the level that he needs or deserves at least.

How did it happen that I found this prince that will swim through the waters even when I fail to meet those needs on a regular or consistent basis?

Don't get me wrong, I love my husband and try my hardest to meet his needs

but more often then not I find myself thinking about how
undeservingly blessed I am.

In the end...

Watching him lead our marriage and swim through those Shark Infested Waters 

only makes me want to do the same for him.

So I guess that you can say Josh is helping me to be a better person and a better wife!

I am so lucky. So blessed. So in love with my prince.
