In my love for all things Gary I’ve come to realize one very important thing. This guy is an awesome husband. Or at least he plays one on Twitter.

Sense of Humor

Men deem “having a sense of humor” an important quality in a woman. Except when men say “sense of humor” what they really mean is “she laughs at my jokes“. Watch any of Gary’s talks and you’ll find that he is very funny. More importantly, he laughs at his wife’s jokes, too!

Loves His Job

Our culture hasn’t figured out a great way to define manhood. Some think it’s the ability to procreate. Or the ability to fight in a cage. But all that results in are episodes of “Maury Povich” and cauliflower ear.

I’m not going to try to define manhood, but I think part of the definition includes providing for your family while at the same time respecting your DNA. Gary not only LIVES this, he preaches it, too. Being a great man is a prerequisite for being a great husband.

Has Outside Interests

This is more a case of an awesome couple in action, but still. Lots of women people get married and think that it somehow means that all their spouse’s annoying habits hobbies will disappear. Like a fanatical obsession with the Jets. I obviously don’t know how Lizzie feels about Gary’s love for the Jets, but it doesn’t seem like she’s asking him to give up his zeal. Husbands having interests and hobbies outside of the marriage is a GOOD THING. It makes him more interesting, more fully himself, and it participating in that hobby gives the husband a chance to miss the wife.

Conscious

I have a Masters of Marriage & Family Therapy, and I’m always paying attention to people’s marriages. When Gary and Lizzie gave birth to precious Misha, I held my breath. Were they going to become one of those couples whose marriage was ruined by a baby? And then I saw that Tweet. And I exhaled. Babies don’t ruin marriages. Especially ones as cute as Misha. No, forgetting that you’re a parent AND a spouse ruins marriages. Good play, Gary.

Straight Up Love

This was the Tweet that sealed the deal for me deeming Gary an Awesome Husband in Action. He loves her. In an EPIC way. Who could ask for more?

What are some things you love about Garyvee? Does anyone else wonder, “If Gary’s this awesome, how much MORE must Lizzie be?” Because we all know an awesome husband is only as good as his spectacular wife.
