I Love Her More...

I had this thought. While holding our son as he fell to sleep, I thought of a creative way to express all the little various things that I notice on a regular basis that make me Love Her More.

I love her more...
 for each red curl
 for being a girl
I love her more...
 than it shows
 than she knows

And as I think of one thing that I love about her, and another that cleverly rhymes, my thought grows to an idea. I could get post-it notes made! They could all say "I love her more..." and then they would be post-it's, specifically to post the various reasons you love "her".

Just another million (okay maybe not million...) dollar idea that was likely to stay in my head forever.
I have plans to print it up on pretty paper, put it in a frame and place it in the bathroom w/ a dry-erase marker.

Then I thought, I could put it out here.

Now I am never ashamed of the fact that we are a lesbian couple. I am quite proud, and very matter of fact when I talk about her/us publicly. She's my wife, and I'm not going to call her anything different. But I think I try not to shove our affection for each other in people's faces. So we keep it pretty G, which is kinda sad. I think for her more (being the more sensitive one this partnership)...I often tell myself I should be more expressive about how much I love and appreciate her. I get a little caught up about how I'm going to do this, and forget to actually do it I think. :(

I'm such a dude. And my ridiculously amazing wife loves me anyway.

I love her more for seeing me without the looming bar of potential looming overhead highlighting the distance to what I should be.

My love grows with each heartbeat, and continue to strive to meet my potential as the wife she truly deserves.
