- He makes sacrifices and never complains. Even when he is sick or in pain, he still goes above and beyond.
- He does things for others and never seeks approval or appreciation in return.
- He takes initiative and jumps in to do things without asking what needs to be done, or what he can help me with.
- His gifts are practical, thoughtful and useful. (This has frustrated me in the past...what's wrong with an occasional pretty thing that serves no purpose?) I've realized that he takes care to think about what is needed and provides those things for me, even for gifts.
- If there is an argument, he doesn't seek his own way, but becomes a peacemaker bringing the two sides to an agreement.
