Simple Marriage Giveaway: Union28 Apparel
This giveaway is now closed.
As we are full blown into the Holiday shopping season, I’m excited to announce another Simple Marriage Giveaway. Now you can go shopping for your gifts while declaring to the world that your spouse rocks. Union28 is a marriage apparel company that seeks to encourage marriage relationships, communicate a positive image of marriage, and honor the sanctity of the marriage covenant.
Here’s a bit taken from their about page.
Union28 (formerly From*me Tees) was started by a married couple who knows what it is like to work through hard stuff and yet stay together and stay committed, choosing to forgive and be forgiven, only to grow in our love for each other MORE through it all.
One of the great and wonderful mysteries of life is that loving each other in action–what we do and say–produces romance. Everything in our culture today teaches the opposite, that romance turns into love, but nothing could be further from the truth. Love is a choice and we decide how we’re going to treat each other in the good and in the not-so-good times. What a hope-giving reality that a strong, loving, thriving relationship can be built, simply by changing how we interact with our spouse.
Marriage was created to be a blessing and a little kindness, selflessness, and respect goes a long way. Accept the fact that your spouse isn’t perfect and then start taking notice of all the good things they bring to the table! Pretty soon you can train your mind to be grateful for who they are as opposed to feeling disappointed about who they are not. When you allow yourself to believe that your spouse rocks, you will free yourself from the downward spiral and temptation of self-pity, disappointment, and even despair. The fact is, your spouse is probably a greater blessing than you allow yourself to realize…so lay down your expectations and praise your spouse for his/her attributes. After all, the key is to change yourself! And you’ll be surprised at the positive affect it has on the one you choose to love…and you!

My husband rocks for lots of reasons, truly. But if I had to choose one reason that shapes all the others, it would be that he accepts and loves me for who I am. It is only because of this that he's able to rock in so many other ways that make our marriage what it is.
What a great way to share with everyone just how much I love my wife! Love the shirt!
My husband rocks because he cares so deeply about everyone. He became a police officer to make a difference in the world. I am so proud to be his wife!
My husband rocks because he is honest with me. He works on improving our marriage and himself. He helps me around the house. He cleans my car windshield before I leave for work trips. And he puts up with my crazy.
My husband rocks because he knows me so well- with all my little quirks.
My wife rocks because she loves to watch football with me and would never dream of scheduling something during a big OSU game!

My husband rocks because he's so expressive about how much he loves me! I love that he's not afraid or shy to say I love you and show me physically that he loves me and wants me near him.
My husband is a wonderful servant to me and to our new baby daughter. One way he rocks is his amazing cooking skills. When I was pregnant with our daughter, both my husband and I were working full time. I was exhausted and had a lot of nausea, especially in the beginning of my pregnancy. Both of these things made it hard for me to cook dinner. The moment my husband saw the need, he took over and I never cooked again the entire rest of my pregnancy.
My wife rocks because she loves me for who I am, warts and all.
My husband rocks because he took a new job that could have consumed his every waking hour, but he made it clear to his new organization that he wanted to place boundaries…and he has.
My husband loves me for EXACTLY who I am with all my flaws and failures. He loves me more today than he did when we were first married and I adore that
My husband rocks because he always gives me a hug when I need one, even though they always go way longer than he likes, and usually I don't even have to ask him for one.
My husband rocks because I'm pregnant right now and he brings me breakfast in bed, does the laundry, and all around takes great care of me and our baby.
My husband rocks because he is patient and kind to me, even when I am not! He is a great example of service and selflessness and I am a better person because I'm married to him.

My husband rocks because he tells me all day that he loves me, helps me and cares for me in little ways and big ways.
This is awesome! Maybe I should add these to the list of great Christmas gifts for married couples that I just posted at my blog.
My wife rocks because she is so selfless and gives all she's got to me and our kids. We try to reciprocate but always fall short of matching her awesomeness.
My wife rocks cause she lets me have my me time!
My husband rocks!! He is so in tune with my wants, needs, desires and yet maintains his sense of self admirably. We have a true partnership in every way. He is my friend, my lover, my confidant. I am truly blessed!!
My husband rocks because he is so wise and he can find all sorts of solutions to my problems, whether REAL or perceived… and doesn't make fun of me for inventing them!
My wife is my much-better-half, and any woman who can put up with me as we approach our 20th anniversary has to fit the definition of 'rocks'.
My husband seriously rocks. I guess the biggest thing he's done to prove that was actually leaving us for 6 months- to head out west for training with the RCMP. It was the hardest 6 months of our lives, and he sacrificed so much in terms of time with the boys (he left when our boys were 2.5 years and 2 months old), but because of that, we all have a better life. Not struggling to pay for groceries anymore is great (and not living in a tiny basement apartment!), but even better is that he and I are now both happier in the work we're doing (we were both in retail before and HATED it) and our marriage has improved. Those 6 months certainly made us appreciate having each other around!
Also, he looks super hot in uniform

My husband rocks because he is so thoughtful and never judgmental. He also has a great sense of humor which makes every day life fun. Thank you for the giveaway.

My wife rocks because her support for me is never ending….. whether I deserve it or not.
My husband rocks for many reasons! He does a lot of little things for me that sometimes I take for granted, but he does them with a good attitude knowing that it helps me out!
My husband rocks because he prays for our marriage daily.
My wife rocks because she puts up with my family!
My Wife rocks because she puts up with me, mini-me (our Son), and two mini-hers (our Daughters).
My husband rocks because he never gives up on us. Through thick and thin, he has never thrown in the towel. He is my “ROCK”.
How could I pick just one thing? My husband rocks because God gave him to me, with all the differences and similarities to make me grow and learn and I never knew I could be so blessed.
I've been drooling over these shirts for months!
My hubby rocks because last night he made vegetable soup, but instead of presenting it to the kids under that name (a sure turnoff!) he called it Pokemon Soup.
They actually ate it!
My husband rocks because he took care of the entire house and me while I had the flu last week!
My Husband TOTALLY rocks. He was deployed the beginning of November for a year. The first 6 or so weeks in New Jersey & the rest the time in Iraq. At Thanksgiving time he had 5 days of leave however they were not allowed to travel more than 2 hours so he was not able to come home. I have 5 children and airline tickets were around $500 so it wasn't going to be possible financially for us to all go see him. The Tuesday before Thanksgiving day I called him and was FALLING apart. In my mind I still could not figure out how I would make it a year without this man. The following morning I received a dozen white roses just like the ones he sent me when we were dating the sweetest note ever and an airline ticket to go see him. My husband is tight with money and he flew me out of our airport (NOT CHEAP). For him to splurge like that took a lot for him I know. My sisters watched the kids and We got to spend almost 2 full days together. He opened my door & treated me like gold the whole time I was their. I am home and am so grateful for that time it was what I needed to get out of the slump I was in. He is truly amazing and my heart aches for the second I get to be with him again. HE TOTALLY ROCKS!
My husband allows me to be me. He accepts all my weird and loves me for it.
my incredible husband is about to graduate medical school & has consistently sacrificed over the past 4 years to make me a priority. we were married about 3 months before medical school began & it was really rough for me. he let me cry, held me & didn't take my season of struggling & doubt about us personally.
he continually points me towards Christ, and he looks like Jesus to me.
My husband rocks everyday! Today he rocked because we had a difference of opinion on a pretty important subject. He lost his patients (which is usually my job) instead of shutting down or flying off the handle he took a step back s we could both think about what we were discussing. Once he calmed down, we discussed what we need to do next to fix his anxiety about the subject. He apologized for losing his patients, which was unnecessary, because I understood why he felt the way he did. He is a remarkable, kind and loving man, but when he tries so hard to fix an issue before it becomes a problem, it reminds me how lucky I am to have him.
My wife rocks because she wanted to get her skydiving license with me!

Corey – My wife rocks because she accepts me for who I am…but doesn't let me get away with being who I am…she's always for me…and encouraging me to get better!! Very cool company!
My wife rocks because she encourages me to be a better man without being a harpy herself!
My fiance' (April 17, 2010) rocks because he's…
Respectful
Objective
Composed
Kind
Steadfast
I love these shirts! What a great idea. My husband rocks because he is a new Christian and is really taking responsibility for learning how to be the spiritual leader in our home. He rocks-he really does!
My husband Jason rocks because no matter how bad a day I've had he takes the time to listen to me and make me feel special and appreciated and then he makes me laugh so hard my side hurts. He is good medicine for me….lol
He can be sentimental and writes me poems sometimes to express his love and appreciation which is saying a lot since he is a man of few words.
There are too many ways that my husband rocks to be able to put them all here. He just is the man. My best friend, lover and rock that I lean on.
One way my husband rocks is that he is very giving. Today was my birthday, so he took the day off from work and stayed home with our 5 kiddos while I had a fun day of pampering and shopping!! We'll be married for 10 years this coming February.
My husband rocks because without having to tell him, he knows when I need a little extra TLC.
My wife rocks because…..
She lets me worry about her, even though it offends her feminist sensibilities.
She baked me a pie, a pumpkin pie, so I wouldn't have to do it myself.
She isn't blinded by love, but she chooses to close her eyes.
She allows me my occasional Quixotic scheme.
She makes me a better person.
She loves my children.
She loves me.
My husband rocks because he loves me no matter what (I've been sick and I spent the entire night coughing. Even though he had to get up early to drive three hours to work, he didn't get upset and was just concerned for my health).
My spouse rocks because he always says he loves me!
My husband rocks because he encourages and supports me in being a better person.
The Loverly Wife rocks my world because she flat out supports and encourages me in all I attempt to do. With her love for our boys and me, there is no other I could be married to… Oh, and she's the best darn Otolaryngology surgical nurse around…
My husband rocks beause he never fails to tell me how beautiful I am, even at my worst!
My wife is my gateway to heaven. Okay, actually, she's a long-winding road full of speed-bumps and pot-holes… but through each curve she offers enlightenment and together we prevail into the next adventure.
I could write an entire book listing how my husband rocks…but I'll try to keep it brief.
One of the many reasons he rocks is because he always makes time for us. Work could be crazy, and he may have tons of projects that are calling his name…but he always makes sure we have quality time (my number one love language) and makes our marriage a priority. It means so much to me.
My spouse rocks because she loves me despite all my flaws.
My husband is the best… we're newlyweds and I'm a relatively new cook, and some of my enterprises in the kitchen have been flops, to say the least. But my husband has always eats and compliments each meal (even the ones I have to swap out for PB&J).
My husband rocks at caring for our dogs. I know this seems trivial, but it makes me excited to see him as a father to a human child instead of just canine ones. He is so great with them that I know he will be even better with a baby/child!
My husband rocks because he's always able to ground me, to calm me down when I'm feeling anxious or panicky. <3
Shortly after my husband and I became engaged, my father was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer. I left my job and went back to my hometown to help take care of him. My fiance (at the time) took it upon himself to travel as often as possible, no less than every other weekend, to see me and my family. He took care of not only me but my mother and sisters. When my father died less than two months after his diagnosis, my husband was incredible. I could never have made it through without his support (and still couldn't..he puts up with more grief-inspired craziness than any man should have to). He completely understood my reluctance to go through with our planned traditional wedding ceremony mere months after losing my father. We postponed the wedding for a year with no complaint from him, even though we lost money on deposits. We instead had a private civil ceremony on the original planned date. That way we still have the anniversary date we wanted and I will still get the wedding I grew up dreaming of…minus one important person, but with the man waiting at the alter being a better man than I could ever have imagined.
My spouse rocks because she keeps the household running during my numerous travels.
My husband rocks because he is a true partner in all aspects of our lives. We operate as a team, and that's not only sensible, but very romantic.
yesterday my husband, who was working late and knew i had a rough night with our 18 mos old son, brought me spontaneous cheesecake… and then did the dishes!
My husband rocks because he puts up with me when I make mistakes, and he encourages me to follow my dreams no matter what.
My guy rocks because he comes home on Friday nights and we knock out the chores together, pack the saddlebags on the Harley and enjoy a glorious weekend of riding. There’s nothing quite like the ‘intimacy’ of riding together…touching, feeling and connecting while we see the same things, smell the air, feel the wind…it’s awesome…an aphrodisiac like no other..
I know I missed the deadline, but I wanted to post anyway…..I don’t need the shirts, I have my guy and that’s enough for me……
