It’s almost Valentine’s Day! We know what that means, chocolates and flowers.

And hopefully DATES! One thing we always enjoy doing when we have time together is asking questions. Most times that are VERY silly, pointless questions, like “what job would a moose be best at?” – but other times, we like to talk about our marriage, and how we’ve changed.

Describing Your Spouse in 3 Words

Describing someone as complex and multifaceted as a spouse in just three words may seem like a daunting task, but it can also be a fun and meaningful exercise. Whether it’s to reflect on the strengths and qualities that attracted us to our partner or to simply appreciate the depth of their character, condensing the essence of our spouse into three words can be a powerful way to express our love and admiration.

• Kind – (& also selfless) he thinks about others needs & emotions above his own. He always had other people top of mind.
• Jovial– he has a zeal about him. Again, in thinking of others, he wants to bring as much happiness as possible to any situation.
• Curious– he’s so curious about all. the. things. He’s a learner and a doer. He loves figuring out new things and will try anything at least once.

These are the words he chose for me:

• Determined/focused– he said there are a handful of things I reallyyyyy care about, and I’m hyper focused on those things.
• Firey– in both good and bad ways. Ha! Firey and passionate about the people/things I love, and also, my temper…
• Just– I seek what’s right and fair in everything. He described it as a driving force of sorts. (Hey, enneagram 1’s, I know you get me)

If you’ve made it this far in this marriage Monday post, we encourage you to do this little exercise with your own spouse and see what you come up with! We thought we chose words that were pretty spot on. But if you disagree, talk about why with your spouse! Anytime you have a chance to know your spouse more intimately, we say go for it!
