I appreciate the fact that you’re my friend first before my girlfriend. As someone who doesn’t make frineds easily, I saw friendship in you and that has grown to what it is today.

I appreciate the fact that you feed me. You cook for me. You bring me food. You came early to my house before one of my races just to make me breakfast. You make sure I never go hungry.

When we’re out on a date or just eating out, you always try to feed me your food. Even when I don’t like people eating from my plate, you still manage to try some of my food.

I appreciate the fact that we eat together. You stay hungry till I’m ready to eat so we eat together as a family. Though you don’t like drinking water but you eat with me. That’s sweet.

I appreciate the fact that you’re willing to have difficult conversations and not keep things to heart. After a fight/quarrel/misunderstanding, you try to still start a conversation with the person because you care about them. This shows you don’t hold grudges against people.

I appreciate the fact that you create time for friends and family. Despite your busy schedule, you still find time to go out and relax with people and community. You’re dating someone who’s an introvert and you find ways to connect with this person regardless of your love for the outdoors.

I appreciate the fact that you have a neat and organized home. You once said you’re not a well-organized person but I appreciate how you’ve changed that. You’re always doing your laundry (I bet your washing machine will be tired of you).

You have cool paintings and decorations in your home.

I appreciate the fact that you listen during discussions. In a world where everyone wants to be heard, you let others speak, listen to their perspective, and make comments or share your own thoughts. You accept people’s differences.

When we talk about an issue, you do your best to do the action items.

I appreciate the fact that you are mature and respectful. More mature I’d say. The way you carry everyone along, and respond to conversations is something to be learned from.

The way you carry yourself and hold on to your values is admirable. Your respect for other people is what attracted me to you.

I appreciate the fact that you care about others.

You go out of your way to sacrifice for those you love. It shows how beautiful your heart is. In a world where people only think of themselves, you’re one of those who genuinely care about others.

I appreciate how resourceful you are especially when it comes to planning. I see how you dedicate time to plan your trips and do all the necessary research. I appreciate how you search for date ideas and things to do with me.

I appreciate how you travel to other countries, learning their language and culture. You’re exposing yourself to a new perspective, making you more appreciative of what we take for granted in this country.

I appreciate your sense of humor that never fails to make me laugh, even on tough days. Low key, you’re a funny person and know some dad jokes. I appreciate that you share your funny moments with others.

I appreciate your unwavering support and encouragement in everything I do. You’re always there in good and bad times and always willing to help out.

I appreciate how you still keep in touch with your father even after the separation. You go on dates with him and share memories with him. You’ve forgiven him and allowed love in your heart again.

I appreciate how you shared pictures of your trip with me even without asking. You want me to experience what you’re experiencing and make me a part of your every adventure.

I appreciate how you think about me when making a major life decision. It shows that you value my opinion and feelings. You consider me when it’s a difficult choice to make.

I appreciate your loyalty and commitment to this relationship. You have a choice to go out but you choose to be here and trust the process. At times, it feels like I’m not 100% in it, you still stand by me and work with me to amend any issue we have.

I appreciate your thoughtful gesture to show that you care. From making the bed before you leave to making me breakfast, putting snacks in my backpack, checking up on me, and joining me on my marathons despite your apathy for running.

I appreciate your infectious laughter that brightens my day. Your smile is always captivating and you’re willing to share that with others.

I appreciate your adventurous spirit. You’re always trying new things and exploring new places with me, making our life together exciting and full of memories

I appreciate your cooking skills. The meals you prepare are not just delicious but made with love and care.

I appreciate your fashion sense. You always know how to dress stylishly and you inspire me to look my best too.

I appreciate your spontaneity. Your ability to be impulsive and fun keeps our relationship vibrant and lively.

I appreciate your fitness dedication. Your commitment to staying healthy and active motivates me to do the same.

I appreciate your curiosity. Your desire to learn and grow intellectually keeps our conversations stimulating and enriching.

I appreciate your resilience. No matter what life throws at you, you face it with strength and determination.

I appreciate your openness to change. You are adaptable and always ready to embrace new experiences. I know I can be a lot. Thank you for compromising for us.

I appreciate your dedication to your career growth. Your hard work and ambition are truly admirable. And I do hope it pays off someday.

I appreciate your support in my personal goals.

You encourage me to pursue my dreams and stand by me through every storm and challenge.

And finally, I appreciate the memories and love we share. The ups and downs, the conflicts and resolutions, the sad nights and happy mornings, the kisses, the hugs, the long conversations on the phone, the everyday check-up texts, the zeal to keep pushing to make this work. I appreciate the little things I take for granted. I appreciate you for being part of this journey.

Relationship is not a bed of roses. It is hard work, dedication and commitment. To have a long-lasting relationship, make sure that the foundation is Friendship, Trust, Commitment, Love, Similar purpose/value, and God’s guidance.
