I recently saw an article titled “If Your Husband Does These 13 Things, You Hit the Marriage Jackpot”. As I read through the 13 items, I was quite pleased.   I DEFINITELY hit the jackpot with my husband!

1. He encourages and inspires you.
2. He can comfort and calm you.
3. He still flirts with you.
4. He works hard.
5. He loves spending time with you.
6. He loves and respects his mother.
7. He complements you often.
8. He is selfless.
9. He says “I love you” often.
10. You are his #1 priority (after his relationship with God.)
11. He surprises you.
12. You are a team.
13. He admits when he is wrong.

As I looked at the list, I began to wonder: Does my husband believe that he also hit the jackpot, or do I tend to be more of a pothole?   A Jackpot is something we all want.  We avoid potholes.  They cause damage and expand with every contact.   I want my husband to see how deeply I treasure him.  At times, I may require more than I offer, but  I will strive to be the “jackpot” wife he deserves.

What about you? Are you a jackpot or a pothole?
