This time of year offers the perfect opportunity to take a step back and reflect on who and what really matters in life. And for those of us who are married, our spouse is one of those important people.
With that in mind, we asked HuffPost readers to tell us what makes them feel most grateful for their husbands or wives. Below are 41 heartwarming and honest reasons to be thankful for our partners -- not just on Thanksgiving, but all year long.
