If only I could lend you my perspective on love, you’d understand how wonderful my husband is. My grandmother used to say this whenever someone dared to question my grandpa’s character. Their love was remarkable, and I aspire to that kind of bond.
Everyone deserves to experience a love so profound that it allows them to overlook a few imperfections. Take my husband, for instance. He has an uncanny ability to find the TV remote (even when it’s buried in the couch), yet somehow, he can never locate any other household item that’s in plain sight.
“Where’s the flashlight?” he’ll ask.
“It’s in the utility drawer.”
“No, it’s not. I checked.”
This routine plays out multiple times a day with everything from dish towels to spatulas.
Then there’s his charming belief in household fairies. Apparently, we have a Soap Fairy who magically refills our hand soap dispensers and a Toilet Paper Fairy who swoops in to replace empty rolls. Why would he bother doing these chores himself when the fairies are so willing? I assume there are also fairies for changing lightbulbs and vacuuming.
Here are some additional quirks that I frequently overlook:
- The Bed is a War Zone: My husband seems to think he’s training for some ninja championship. His arms flail across the bed while he dreams, regularly waking me up with unintended hits. I’ve resorted to building a fortress of pillows to keep my distance. And let’s not forget his restless legs—half the time, I wake up convinced the house is shaking, only to find it’s just him kicking the mattress.
- Dish Dilemmas: How is it that he can’t manage to walk two steps to put his coffee cup in the sink or the dishwasher? Empty snack wrappers and dirty dishes seem to multiply around the house. I must be mistaken—this sounds eerily similar to something I do too.
- Laundry Lapses: Despite being a star athlete in high school, he struggles to score any points when it comes to getting his socks and underwear into the hamper. Clothes often find their way to the floor instead of the basket. Perhaps I should put up a scoreboard as motivation.
- Laundry Catastrophes: He once ruined my favorite sweater by washing it with a new pair of jeans, leaving it covered in blue streaks. “I can never do laundry again,” he declared, and somehow, he hasn’t. He never complains when I have to rewash loads that have lingered too long in the washer, either.
- The Fart Phenomenon: Let’s talk about his gas. It’s not just a little tooting; it’s like an earthquake that rattles the furniture. Our kids have learned to steer clear of him, while the dog is still in recovery from the shockwaves. Perhaps we should call it a Fartquake—what a fitting term!
- Snoring Symphony: And then there’s the snoring, which could rival a chainsaw. My son even asked to switch bedrooms because he can’t sleep through the noise. I buy earplugs in bulk, but I’m surprised we haven’t been fined for disturbing the neighborhood peace.
Of course, I know I’m not exactly a walk in the park, either. When I asked him what I could improve about myself, he just brewed me a cup of coffee and said, “Nothing. You’re perfect just as you are.” So, I guess he really is perfect—perfect for me.

In summary, love often means overlooking a few quirks and imperfections. It’s about embracing each other’s uniqueness and finding joy in the little things.
