Look Into Your Husband’s Eyes…What Do You See?

By Fawn Weaver on Tuesday, September 16, 2014

There is a picture that sits on the corner of my desk. It is more than a decade old yet captivates me anew with each glance.

The backdrop of the image is a bit messy. A wooden bar top with a small white plate, red cloth napkin, used silver fork and some sort of watered down beverage. Clearly, the background is not what draws me in every time I sit down to write.

It is his face.

The face of a man who chooses to overlook my flaws each and every day. The smile of a man who continuously encourages me to become the best version of myself.

He has the cutest ears. The same ears that have been there to listen to me fully and intently for longer than I can remember. His large hands cradle my small ones with tenderness and an acknowledgement that one of his greatest strengths is his gentleness.

His love for me is palpable. No one looking at this photo would miss that. But what I see every day when I glance up from my desk are his eyes. Those beautiful, dark brown eyes, slightly turned downward at the outer corners with laugh lines encircling both sides.

Looking into his eyes, I see grace. I am a work in progress but he doesn’t seem to mind.

When I allow to-do lists and business-related affairs to consume my day and forget momentarily that the best use of my time is that which focuses on my family, faith, and community, he reminds me gently. Grace.

Those times when my thinking and speaking happen in one singular action and he just smiles. Grace.

When I have a challenging day and collapse into his arms with tears streaming down my face, he’s always there to hold me for as long as I need. Grace.

What I see when I look into my husband’s eyes is love, respect, honor and adoration. His humility shines through illuminating all else. But above all things, when I look into his eyes, I see grace. Enough for today. More than enough for tomorrow.

QUESTION: When you look into your husband’s eyes, what is the most awe-inspiring thing you see?

Until tomorrow…make it a great day!

I see undying love and I’m continually in awe that he could possibly love me so deeply and genuinely. I give thanks every single day for what God brought together.
(This is a second marriage for both of us…mine abusive for 20 years.)

I see adoration, love, and my other half. He never fails to correct me when I say, “His,” or “Yours,” he says, “Ours, baby.”

I just love this. My husband always looks like he is ready to help. That may sound silly, but I love that. He wants to help someone load their vehicle with heavy lumber, wants to help a young mother out by holding the door open, wants to help me by doing the dishes after dinner or rubbing my back if it’s sore… he just doesn’t want to be idle if he can be doing something to improve someone else’s life (or even moment) and I just absolutely love that.

  What a beautiful trait to have in a spouse. By any chance, is his love language “acts of service”?
  - http://www.nursingnapsnostalgia.blogspot.com SK Bell
    
    Yes, it is! I sometimes have trouble relating, but I’m trying!
    On an unrelated note, I recently sent in an e-mail. I know you’re probably very busy catching up from the break but I was just wondering if you have an idea of how long a response might take?
    - http://www.happywivesclub.com/ Fawn @ Happy Wives Club
      
      So happy that was helpful! Regarding the email, I wish I could tell you. I’m still going through them and I have no idea how long it will take because my priorities are: God and family, and then all else vies for the remainder of my time. For that reason, it could take a while. Feel free to forward the email me to me again, if you’d like, and then with it come through twice it’ll increase the likelihood that I’ll see it sooner rather than later .

        Not a problem, and I agree with your priorities! =]

I see warmth, and forgiving. Just over all kind. Looking into his eyes I melt. Everyday I still melt.

  Love this! I melt every day too .

Beautiful post! My favorite thing about my husband are also his eyes, they tell so much and express so much warmth, especially when he looks at me to tell me he loves me!

  Thanks, Nina! Ditto your response. I find myself telling my husband at least a couple times a week, “I just love your eyes.” They’re these fabulous puppy dog eyes where the ends curve down. It makes me smile every time I look into them.

In our pictures from the past I see a man that loved me like no other, deeper than I ever thought possible…. I was so truly blessed and didn’t fully understand. I wasn’t right with God or myself, and I had no clue how to REALLY love someone. He spent years showing me, teaching me, and trying to show me the way. So many things went wrong, went wrong, we are a blended family with 5 kids; 8,10,12,13, and 15….. We finally decided that it was over and we needed to move on for the kids, the Daily fighting and conflict was destroying us all…… Then I realized what I had, that I loved this man more than I ever knew possible…. But is it too late? My 3 children and I moved out the week of Thanksgiving 2014, it’s all still very raw right now. My husband has agreed to allow me to prove to him that I have changed although he openly says he has no faith that we can ever live together as a family again because of issues he had with my kids…. I want nothing more than to have my family back and strive to be a better person everyday, for myself, my husband, and the children. He has so Much hurt and anger, he says he isn’t ready to go to counseling with me at this point, I don’t know how to start to chip away at his wall especially if he won’t go to counseling with me and we are not in the same house anymore. We do communicate daily, we spent Christmas and New Years together, we go out on the occasional date and spend weekends together if the kids are elsewhere. All of these are positive things, but not enough for me…. I WANT MY LIFE BACK!! I pray daily for the Lord to heal his pain and take his anger…. . I pray he is able to find his love for me again and that we can begin to move forward… I pray that I can be the person God wants me to be…. The pain is so deep and overwhelming sometimes, I just want to love him but he is afraid to be hurt again, and I’m afraid he never will….. I was hoping this book or SOMETHING would help guide me on how to really show him I love him and don’t want to be without him……… I’m really at the end, and I am not ready to give up, he loves me and wants to hang on too, but expects things to just be the same again, which CANT happen because we were all miserable………… I am open and thankful for any thoughts……….

What a beautifully written post!!! It almost made me cry it is so heartwarming. And I can relate to it because I know how you feel. My husband has the most amazing smile, but yes – the eyes give so much away of how he feels and when he is the happiest. My favourite moment – when I can have both – his smile through his face and his eyes. Thank you for your post. It made my day. â™¥

  Thanks, Sandra! So happy I could make your day (but really, it was the thought of your husband that really made your day, I’m sure ).

I see in the eyes of my husband, the look of a love so deep that it can not be explained. Eyes that are only for me.

My first time meeting with a Psychic medium and I have to say, it’s really worth it. It had been 6months since my husband left me without saying anything.All thanks to Dr Adoda I was able to connect with my husband again with his powerful reunion love spell and now he loves me more than he used to. Eternally grateful with The Great Dr Adoda! I highly recommend, His contact details ( http://dradodalovetemple.com )
