The author's personal (and highly subjective) list of why it's so great having husband Jeremy around. Hopefully, it will get all you brides to reflect on your own Top 10. And obvious ones like "he takes out the garbage" and "I'm always assured of a date for Saturday night" don't count. They have to be distinctive.

Here they are, in no particular order

1) I'm guaranteed at least one friendly phone call a day.

2) He validates my feelings of righteous indignation when someone annoys me in any way (cutting me off on the highway, giving me bad service, uses improper grammar, etc.).

3) No matter what I'm cooking, it's a given that he'll come in the door and act like he's attained gastronomic nirvana.

4) While I'm not always assured understanding, I can generally expect tolerance.

5) Life is twice as much fun and half as much work.

6) He sees things that I miss--like the color of the clouds at sunset or the deer and her fawn as we walk in the woods--and he points them out to me.

7) If I'm running late, someone cares that I call.

8) I can spew out a series of half-formed thoughts and he can synthesize them into a coherent point.

9) Staying home with him is way more fun than going out, so I can keep my entertainment budget low.

10) He has a way of putting a spin on my flaws and somehow making them endearing--at least to him.

So, what are your top 10 things you like about being married?
