## Caption

"My husband and I have never celebrated Valentine’s Day. We don’t exchange cards on our anniversary. I can’t remember what he got me for Christmas, not this year nor any.⁠
⁠
But last week when an ice storm hit, he canceled every single one of his meetings to take care of our kids. He encouraged me to quit my job as a nurse because he believed in my talent as a writer. He’s loved my body at over 200 pounds and every single number in between.⁠
⁠
We may not swing from chandeliers or swoon over each other on social media, but he never leaves a room without asking me what I need.⁠
⁠
Love isn’t always sexy; sometimes it’s just steady. It’s unconditional support.⁠
⁠
'Real, sane, mature love—the kind that pays the mortgage year after year and picks up the kids after school—is not based on infatuation but on affection and respect.'⁠
⁠
Men, listen to me. Women would trade every box of chocolates in the world for a 10am text reminding them of their worth.⁠
⁠
Love someone in the little moments.⁠
⁠
Not just when a calendar tells you to."⁠
