1. You can say adios to eating alone in restaurants. You now have a permanent dinner date for when you eat in or take out.
2. Your daily fashion dilemmas are a thing of the past now that you have an in-house stylist who’s not shy about telling you how that miniskirt really looks.
3. A husband automatically equals an official big shoulder to cry on. Even though he may try and solve your hysterical and unfounded PMS breakdown logically and seemingly sans emotion, rest assured he means well because he can’t stand to see you upset.
4. You no longer have to go out and buy those extra-large sweaters. His boxer and t-shirt drawer is the perfect place to shop for weekend loungewear. Curl up with the paper and a cup of coffee on Sunday mornings in his comfy guy gear.
5. You now have a real-life taste-tester who will happily sample and critique that new recipe you’re cooking up for tomorrow’s dinner guests.
6. Are you afraid of the dark, burglars and creepy-crawlies? If so, hubbies are a great built-in security blanket for anything and everything remotely terrifying.
7. You have a permanent life adviser at your disposal. For all those hazy, unclear choices you have to make (from how to invest to what to buy your parents for their anniversary), he’s always there to give the perfect second opinion.
8. You have more reason to shop! No, it’s not just because you have that joint bank account, but because he needs clothes, too, and let’s face it, who really dictates what he wears?
9. You now officially have someone to play Scrabble, checkers and Monopoly with 24/7. He’s also the perfect partner for any of your other hobbies like biking, hiking and did we mention shopping?!
10. You have someone to grow old and grey with, and you look forward to it.
