I would like this month's giveaway to be focused on couples that have been married less than ten years. If that is you, sign up for my RSS feed or Twitter and/or share this post on FB and/or Twitter, then put your name in the comments section with 1) the name of your spouse, 2) how long you have been married, and 3) what you love most about your spouse.
Enjoy!

My name is Joel, and my wonderful wife is Kristin. We've been married a little less than two years, and I am looking forward to many more years together with her. It's impossible to pick one thing that I love most about my wife (her personality; her humor; her care for other people, especially for the least fortunate; her beauty; these and many more are things I love about her). If I have to pick one, then I love most her passion for God and his glory and to be his servant in all she does.
I love you, Kristin.
God bless,
Joel
Aw, Joel, that is really sweet!
My husband's name is Dan, and we've been married eight years. What I love most about him LATELY is his patience with me (I'm afraid I have really tested it in the past year!)and his tenderness with our one-year-old daughter.
My wife's name is Linda and it'll be our one year wedding anniversary in two months.
And what I love most about my wife is the fact that she supports me through thick and thin.
Recently, I went through a bout of depression (which, by God's grace, I believe I am beginning to come out of). And, as I was going through this unexpected, dark season of my life, my wife was so gracious and loving towards me, especially when I didn't deserve it.
I thank God for her so much.
My wife, Beth, and I have been married 8 years. What I love most about my wife is her commitment to Christ and His church. She serves as the Minister to Children at our church and over the years has had the opportunity to counsel and lead numerous children to a relationship in Christ.
My husband's name is David, and this month marks our seventh year together. One of the things that I love about my husband (aside from his devotion to God and our family) is the way that he always makes me laugh, especially when I am fighting for joy. I am so grateful to have him for a best friend, this side of Heaven!! He is such a blessing to me!!!
My husband's name is Conner, and we have been married just over 4 years. Lately, I am really appreciating how he actively seeks to humble himself, how he tirelessly serves me and our two boys, and how he is striving to grow in his faith and leadership. Also how he comes alongside me in my hysterical, exhausted, emotional moments and loves me right where I'm at. Overall, he is an incredible picture of Christ's love!
My wife's name is Sarah Love and we have been married for 3 years. One thing I love about her is her dimples. I love her sweet smile!
I'm Elizabeth and my husband is Chris. We've been married almost a year and a half. It's hard to pick what I love most about Chris, but his passion for Jesus, sense of humor and work ethic are definitely among the top. We also had our first baby 9 days ago and I LOVE seeing him as a dad!
My name is John. My wife's name is Erin. We just celebrated our three year anniversary in January. The thing I love most about Erin is that she has a heart for broken and hurting people and longs to be able to help them. That and she is a great cook! No wonder I have gained so much weight!
Hello, my name is Daniel and my wife's name is Jessie. We have been married for three years now and our first child (a son!) is due in June! What I love most about Jessie (if I have to pick one thing) would be her gentleness with all people. I can be a bit blunt but she is the most gentle person I know (with the spiritual gift of mercy). She really does fill in for my short-comings in all things!
I love my wonderful wife Telly, because for the past 13 years she has been my best friend and partner in serving the Lord. She is always pointing me toward Christ and even when I am the least lovable she loves me most. She makes me want to be a better man just by that love.
As of this moment, I have been married to Brandi for 8 months, 5 days, 23 hours and 12 minutes. The thing I love most about my wife is that I am not her greatest love or lover. Jesus is.
Jesse
Hey, my name is Andrew. Samantha and I have been married for 28 days! The thing I love most about her is her desire to know God and worship Him in spirit and truth. Praise God for sovereignly bringing Sam and I together!
My name is Chris and my wife's name is Sally. We have been married for four years now and are getting ready to have our first child.
When I proposed to my wife, I quoted Proverbs 31:30...
Charm is deceitful, and beauty is vain, but a woman who fears the LORD is to be praised.*
I told her that she fears the Lord more than anybody I know, but that I was also getting the added bonus of her being the most charming, beautiful girl I could imagine. That is still true today, more than ever.
And, of course, she's hot. Really hot.
*Oh yeah, that's the ESV.
My name is Austin Ross, and my lovely wife is named Audrey. We got married on August 21st, 2010, so it has been not quite six months. What I most love about my wife (among many, many things) is her strength in adversity - she has the ability to be strong and yet tender and feminine at the same time, even in the face of troubles. She has helped me grow significantly in so many different ways, and I am excited to spend many more years with her.
(Oh, yeah, and she's smokin' hot, too.)
My name is Corey. My wife (Kimberly) and I have been married for 6 years. We got married on New Year's Eve. I love her because she is amazing. She is an amazing mother, encourager to myself and ministry, and she sacrifices daily for us.
Thank you,
Corey
I'm Jacob, married to Lynsey. May 24 will be our 3rd anniversary. One of my favorite things about my wife is her concern for others. She is always concerned about making other happy, and I love that.
My name is Amanda, and my awesome hubby's name is Andrew. We recently celebrated our four year wedding anniversary. I am so thankful for my husband's pursuit of the Lord, and how that leads and influences our family. One of the coolest things as of late, is seeing him grow as a father. Watching him care for our son is soooo attractive!
What a great giveaway, Zach. Thanks for the opportunity to take a minute and stop and praise my husband. I guess I should I go a step further and tell him face-to-face!
My name is Brian, my wife Katie and I have been married for 4 years. I love my wife because she passionately seeks, serves and loves Jesus.
My husband's name is Andres. We've been married for a little over a year, and my love for him grows every day as I see the love of Christ reflected through him. What I love most about Andres is that with him, I am gaining a new understanding of the unconditional love of Christ. If Andres can look at me after I have been horrible all day long and say "I love you" with all the sincerity in the world, how much more must Christ love us?
My name is Dan and my wife's name is Jessica. We've been married for 3 and a half years. There are so many things that endear her to me that it's hard to pick out one thing. Her continual love and commitment to me has been inspiring, but her commitment to the ways and following Christ is truly what has drawn me closer and closer to her. She's a beautiful servant of the Lord and beautiful in so many ways.
My name is Michelle Ann Kim.
My beloved spouse is Stephen.
We've been married for 4 years.
What I love most about Stephen is his passion for the glory of God and his desire for holiness.
4 years does not sounds long but we're thankful for every year we're together and loving Jesus more. It is all by His grace... Through marriage I realize what a sinner I am!
I pray that our marriage will grow deeper roots in Christ that will not be shaken by the storms to come and that our children will see the gospel lived out through our lives.
God bless you.
Michelle
My husband's name is Ryan and we have been married 9 years and 7 months (barely got in under the gun on this giveaway). I love his drive and passion for Christ...and the fruit of that is he is a wonderful husband, father, pastor. I thank God for our marriage.
My name is Will, and my wife's name is Sara. We've been married nine years and we have two girls and one (girl? boy?) on the way. My wife knows what a sinner I am and continues to love me MORE every day. She is full of love for the worst among us--which is why she loves me so much, I guess.
Will
My name is Nathan. My wife of nine years this February 23rd is Sarah. She is an amazing mother who is devoted to homeschooling our children and supporting me in all I do. She is a true blessing from God!
my wife, Stephanie, and I have also been married 9 years and 7 months (same as Tricia!)... one of the things I love about her is the way she puts others before herself.
My name is Jon. My wife's name is Michelle. We've been married for almost eight years. I love my wife's godliness. She allows me to lead, spurs me to godliness, and loves me in spite of my flaws.
A month from tomorrow, my wife Laurie and I will be celebrating our third anniversary. About two months after that we'll welcome our second child! What I love most about her is her selfless love for others, evidenced by her willingness to stay home to care for our child(ren), and her ongoing ministry to high school and college girls. Nearly every day she has students in our home learning how to cook, sew, and otherwise work in the home for the glory of God.
My name is Chris and my wife's name is Amy and we have been married 10 years going on 11 this May. What I love about her is how she has loved me regardless of all my faults and all the times I been a jerk. She reminds me about I need to be the man God intends, the husband she needs, and the father that my kids desire.
My name is Aaron, my wife's name is Kristin. I've been married 6 years. I love that my wife loves Jesus more than anyone I know. She is awesome!
