How genuine!!

What I admire most in my husband is also what I find most irritating in him. If he says yes or no….he means it. He doesn’t have any ulterior motive, any secret wish to please me, he is not trying to manipulate. His words exactly mean what he says. I could look at him hoping he doesn’t mean what he is saying, I could simply stare sheepishly and wish he would choose kinder words than the kindness he feels, I could pray that he will mellow down the tone, I could wish he would inject some joy in the happiness he feels, I could wish that he would be a little sad when he accepts defeat. But it is matter of fact. The words are purely intended for what he is saying…nothing more…nothing less.

He is genuine….and that is so rare….finding it in him elates me….

Since I don’t always choose to be genuine….his being genuine at times irritates me…..

Because it is sometimes beyond my capacity….. I admire it in him….
