My husband has believed in me when I did not have the self-confidence to believe in myself. He encouraged me to get my master's degree in counseling, paid my tuition, and helped me study. He supported me in continuing my education and following my dreams of incorporating my therapy dog in my private practice and becoming certified as an equine assisted psychotherapist. He doesn't get too upset when I bring home a stray dog with plans of training it to be used for therapy. He isn't perfect. When I get upset with him because he doesn't get things done around the house as fast as I would like, I remind myself of all he has done and continues to do for me on a daily basis. I trust him completely, because I know that he values me. I admire his intelligence and integrity. I respect the man that he is. I agree, without these important components in a marriage, this is no true love.
