He has total faith in my abilities
He's very clever in his way
I trust him totally with our relationship
He was willing to fight for us and for me when it was needed
He totally believes in our strength as a family unit and the value of all our contribiutions
He genuinely thinks I'm a yummy mummy when I so am not LOL
He is exceptionally talented at what he loves to do
he has a huge sense of fair play
He's willing to have his opinions changed when he hears new evidence (I always consider thsi a huge strength)- eg he comes from a hugely racist / homophobic family but has actually moved completely away from that
He had the emotional strength not to sleep with anyone until ew met because he believed it was wrong

Oopps more than 5
