My husband Rob is pretty amazing! Besides putting up with me all these years he has accomplished many financial and physical goals! I heard from a radio show (pre podcast days) that it is important to write down your spouse's positive qualities, so when they drive you crazy you can read it; over and over, and over again!!!

Thank you for this! This is incredible inspiration and so sorely needed in these crazy, evil times we are living in, especially when society is attacking the family and MEN in particular. Your husband sounds incredible, and yes, I know he is not Jesus. :-) We absolutely should be our husband's #1 cheerleader for life! Thank you, Sam, for your inspiration!
ReplyDeleteI just "discovered" you from Catholic Vote and of course pre-ordered your book. I can't wait to read it!
