When thinking of an ideal partner, most women think of someone hopelessly romantic and poetic who would do little actions to make them happy, like writing a letter, having long conversations, and making each occasion memorable through a gift chosen with great love. She also had a similar idea of love and marital love, but life had a greater plan.
It isn’t about being materialistic that way, but she married a quiet man, the one who did not love Loug. Although he did make sure she was seen and felt loved in a room full of people, it was through silent actions that he showcased his love—a love greater than the one she had imagined.
Thus, despite him not being someone she had imagined as her partner, she found him greater!
He never fails to express his love for the things he loves. For example, his favorite would be talking about conspiracy theories or the Cleveland Brows. He played acoustic guitar well, and the tunes were more special to her than any love song. If this isn’t love, then what is? Moreover, he is not the person who would plan big surprises or fancy dates, but chooses to be there for her, hold her through the tough times, and make her feel loved every day in so many ways. Having someone who chooses you daily over anything and everything is bliss.
The little actions, e.g., bringing the car near the door if it’s raining so she doesn’t get poured on and saving cereal left in the morning because he knows how his daughter would love to eat, are little things most men do not bother with. And she never realized how important the little things in life are to keep the spark between two people alive until she met her. He makes her rest as much as she can on the weekend, although she is a stay-at-home mother and he works long hours throughout the week. That shows how clear your partner’s priorities are, and nothing can be more beautiful than this.
When the wife got pregnant, Jacob became a source of comfort and ease for her through her long and tiring 9-month journey, whether it was a trip to the bathroom while she felt nauseous, hyperemesis giving her anxiety, or multiple days when the discomfort of her back pain and cramps hit her, he made sure they were both in this together. They even found out how their oldest child was autistic, but the way the man dealt with the situation wasn’t ordinary. He remained calm and studied how things would be different for them. He learned everything possible for his child to become the perfect father!
When she got pregnant for the third time, they lost their baby, and it was not just a miscarriage, but it also led to her getting cancer. He made sure she knew they were together in the good and the tough times and showed strength whenever she was on her knees, hopeless. The feeling of being held and loved through the tough times is something few experience in a lifetime, and she was gladly amongst those lucky ones.
The strength in his quietness is something that no loud love can match. The things he does, from writing her cute little notes to tucking her in bed, might be minimal gestures, but they keep her going as she knows her husband is the man of action. May every woman find a Jacob in their life!
