When we asked average guys, honest writers, and a few of our favorite celebs to single out the little traits they adore in their wives and girlfriends, they gave some odd answers. Love really is strange (and wonderful).

1. "My wife always wakes up to kiss me goodnight when I come to bed, no matter how tired she is or how deep of a sleep she seems to be in. I try not to disturb her if I get home too late, but she always smooches me."-Jeff Tranell, 33, State College, P

2. "Virginia really knows how to bring our family together on holidays. From Christmas to St. Patrick's Day, she makes sure we keep to our traditions-even when those traditions add up to five-hour-long rituals."-Bob Pothier, 45, Menomonee Falls, WI

3. "Ellie names pretty much every animal she sees more than once. There's Mr. & Mrs. Peabody, the mourning doves on our balcony; Potato, the neighborhood rabbit… the list goes on and on."-Ian Cliffe, 40, Milwaukee, WI

4. "Debbie always cracks up at her own jokes. Even if it's just the two of us hanging out, it's guaranteed she will sit there hysterically laughing, and then I do too."-Jared Dimichele, 29, Boston, MA

5. "She still sneaks candy, as if the kids and I don't see that there's a bowl kind of hidden in a drawer."-Sugarland Guitarist Kristian Bush on his wife, Jill Joyner Bush

6. "My wife can't sleep after watching zombie movies. She's fine with other thrillers, but if a creature extends its hands and moans 'brains,' we're up all night philosophically analyzing zombies."-Jacob Starmer, 34, Cambridge, MA

7. "Stephanie muddles words with such certainty that one wouldn't dare correct her. She's been calling Tupperware 'tub-a-ware' for years."-Kyle Turner, 27, Dallas, TX
