In awe of you

I am "in awe" of my husband.

In love , ah yes of course, .....I have always been in love with him.
Back when a smile from used to make my heart flutter.  An appreciative glance from him used to make my day. A slight touch and my heart used to skip a beat.
But lately, 2 years into our marriage and birth of our baby girl, I am increasingly growing in awe of him.
He is simply awesome. I knew him since the last 7 years but it is after our marriage that I "discovered" him. I knew he was a good person. But post marriage, he has been responsible to "up the ante" of my understanding of the term "goodness" .
I would consider a person good if  he or she would not wish ill for anyone. But my husband,  he never ever sees any ill in anybody. He says people are only different in their opinions and mindset but not necessarily wrong.
I have explored his goodness in his day to day activities. From guiding strangers to their destination in sheer good faith, to respecting elders, he is an epitome of being genteel.
Ever since our marriage and courtship period, he has been my pillar of support. He has never has he stopped me from doing anything I want to, however silly it might sound. His faith in me has kept me going. He has encouraged me to do well at office and shares my workload at home. Unlike many a male chauvinists he shares the responsibility of bringing up our daughter and running the household.

The way he supported me during my pregnancy, the childbirth, the pains, incision and the surgery is what no words can describe. He, who never took a single day off from office, took a week off for me. He, who works on a 5 year old laptop at home, refuses to spend money on a more up-to-date model, scoffs at the idea of buying a new shirt, decided to book the best child delivery package for me at the hospital. And that was despite me being quite vocal about my apprehensions of us exceeding our budget. But he said he didn't care about finances. He is not stingy, he is simply very well organized and is ideologically against any unnecessary expenditure or wastage.

He is emotional and sensitive and yet he is quite practical as well. Despite all his goodness, he doesnt let people take undue advantage of him. He knows how to speak his mind but is never impolite or rude..

I was and I am in love with him but now I respect him more than ever. He is my inspiration and ideal.
I have been lucky enough to find my spiritual partner in my romantic partner.
