I just found you through my sister-in-law Nancy...dang, she sure thinks the world of you! I'm glad you took your husband's advice and started this whole blogging thing.
In answer to your question, "How does being in a good relationship make you a better person"....
Well, it's like how your husband saw your potential and told you to act on what you were wanting to create. For me, I was in a horribly abusive relationship before I married Nancy's awesome brother...I actually hated the person I was when I was with him. I questioned my self-worth every day and I even tried to end my life for heaven's sake! All I'm saying is this: God knew my heart, He knew my potential, and he sent me the tender mercy that is my husband. The first time I saw him was at a deli I was working at while going to college. he ordered a pastrami sandwich with no onions (he loathes them!) and the minute I saw him I could have told him that I loved him. Now THAT's divine intervention. My husband makes me want to be a better person because he sees these wondrous qualities that he fell in love with. So, when I look into his eyes, I WANT to be that person who HE sees looking back at him.
And does being in this great relationship improve the the way I feel about myself? Let's just say that I came to the relationship with a whole lot of insecurities after being another man's throw rug. My sweet husband (who I actually DO call "Sweets") would always say that I should have the utmost confidence in myself because he knew that I was the most awesome woman in the world! So yeah, I feel pretty dang good about myself...I know I'm the bomb.
And you're the bomb for getting this thing going. I love it already!
2 lover of sweets -
I completely understand and agree with you. Plus - it's even more fun when you can amaze your husband by surpassing those things he sees in you (those days are rare).
I think that you should write an article for us about your story! I know I'd love to read it! ;)

And it's even cooler when you start seeing things in yourself without anyone's recognition but your own.
I will definitely write my story for you some time. Thanks Marzeepan. Bet you've never heard that one before, right?
I think being in love makes us feel better about ourself. And by love I mean love as a verb, an action not just a feeling. When we are loving someone, or being loved by someone, it colors the whole world rosy. We can improve our whole world every time we choose to be in love with our husbands/family/significant others.
I don't know about you ladies - but I feel like I'm ten times the person with my husband than I would have been alone. It's nice having someone in my corner - who's supportive and encouraging in my dreams - who never laughs or makes light of them. I feel like I can do and be anything I want with him by my side.
