l-o-v-e and l-i-k-e

The past few months, my class has been fascinated with the fact that I am not married. I usually shrug it off and change the subject. This week after repeated attempts at the, "why aren't you married convo?" by a fiesty little girl, I gave in.

"I'm not married because I don't want to be, yet."-Miss Heath
"WHY DON'T YOU WANT TO BE!!???!"-Fiesty
"People get married when they are in love with someone they want to marry and that person loves them and wants to marry them too."-Miss Heath
"Ew ew ew ew!(heheh *giggling*)and then you kissy!"-Fiesty
"ha!"-Miss Heath
"It's not ew! It's special! Miss Heath, that is so special."-Precious little girl
"I agree. I think it's very special too"-Miss Heath

:)

and because I am just a sap... I came home tonight and finished watching Away We Go. So brilliant. Their love is special, and I love love love the way he looks at her. It spurred my thinking. I don't have, nor do I want to have, a list of what I'm looking for. I believe love happens. However, there are certain details that I find very beautiful about the way a man treats a woman he loves. Here's that list: ;)
1.When he stares into her eyes as though her entire being is within them.
2.When he calls her pretty or beautiful (not hot).
3.When he teases her.
4.The way he holds her when he doesn't now how to fix something for her.
5.The way he rolls his eyes when she won't stop talking and beams when she realizes she is talking to much.
6.The way he calls her out on all her crap because he knows she is a better person than she is displaying.
7.The way he isn't afraid to be himself and vulnerable no matter what he's going through.
8. When he remembers the smallest details of things that were so close to her heart.
9.When he creates something for her.
10.When he wants to be better for himself and her.
11. When he talks to God about her.
12.The ultimate test of love: when he agrees to watch chick flicks with her! :)
