Let’s be real, marriage is not a walk in the park. But if your husband is checking off these boxes, you can be reassured he’s still head over heels for you and cherishing your bond. Buckle up as we dive into seven unmistakable signs that he’s still your knight in shining armor.

1. He never goes to bed still angry with you.

Now let’s think about it, who wants to toss and turn all night with pent-up frustration? A husband who loves you deeply knows that unresolved anger equals a sleepless night for both of you. If he’s sticking to the golden rule of “never go to bed angry” after several years, consider yourself one lucky lady.

2. He still loves and respects your family.

Your family might come with quirks and all, but if he’s still rolling out the red carpet for your folks, it’s a clear sign his love for you hasn’t wavered. Show me a man who continues to genuinely care about his in-laws and I’ll show you someone still hopelessly in love with his wife.

3. He supports your aspirations always.

Dream of opening that bakery, becoming an artist, or even venturing into something as demanding as a new career path? If your husband is still your number one fan, cheering you on no matter how wild your aspirations are — he’s a keeper. The kind of guy who says, “Go chase that dream, I’ve got your back,” is the stuff fairytales are made of.

4. He always puts you first in everything he does.

Being numero uno in your husband’s life, yes, even before sports and hobbies, means you’re irreplaceable to him. Despite the years and responsibilities, if you’re the focal point in his universe, then he’s definitely smitten — no questions asked.

5. He always inspires you.

From the “We just started dating” days to “We’ve been married for years” phase, if he’s consistently your personal cheerleader, his love hasn’t faded. The fact that he motivates you, pushes you to be your best self, and never lets you doubt your abilities is a straight-up love language.

6. He always wants you to be respected by people.

Respect is a big deal. If he’s going out of his way to ensure you are respected by his friends, family, and even strangers, it’s because he values you immensely. He wouldn’t let anyone treat you poorly because to him, you’re a queen.

7. He puts all other females in their place for you.

Whether or not there’s any funny business involved, a loving husband will never let another woman disrespect you. Protecting your honor is non-negotiable. His unwavering loyalty and the respect he demands for you from others show that you’re still his world.
