How I Met Your Mother is, in my opinion, one of the greatest shows of all time. One of the main and most crucial characters in the show is the Minnesota-born and married Marshall Eriksen. Throughout the entire show, he is the most consistently caring and knowledgeable characters. He constantly helps Ted and Barney find their true loves down a long line of girls. This is why Marshall Eriksen is the perfect husband:
1. He's tall
Let's be honest, tall people rule.
2. He celebrates EVERY occasion
Every anniversary, every birthday, every holiday. You can count on him to have a party.
3. He loves football
4. He's a lawyer
But not just any lawyer...an environmental lawyer to be exact.
5. He writes songs for his wife
From "You just got slapped" to "Night Night Lily", having someone who can write songs for you is priceless.
6. He can live anywhere
If he can move from Bemidji, Minnesota to New York, to Italy, then he can live anywhere.
7. His nickname was Vanilla Thunder in high school
Self explanatory...
8. He's got massive funk
The Funk, the Whole Funk, and Nothing but the Funk... Sadly they were only a one hit wonder.
9. He LOVES children
Who doesn't want a great dad as a husband?
10. He has a deep love for food
He has spent a good portion of his life searching for a little burger joint in NYC he once ate at but couldn't remember the name. When he found it, he nearly ascended into heaven.
11. He can dance and drink with the best of them
Don't ever give him tequila or daiquiris because they make him act very strange, but very fun as well. Oh drunk people.
12. He's a selfie king
Marshall does have a love for pictures, and you could make some pretty sweet memories with him.
13. He can relate with your life crisis
From a rough day at work to the moral crisis' that affect us in our everyday lives, he will be there for you.
14. He believes in the supernatural
Having belief in the supernatural means that he's open to anything...anything...
15. He has the joy of child
The joy of a child with alcohol.
16. He can give the best pep-talks
If your sad, Marshall can cheer you right up with one of his patented pep talks!
17. He will make you better as a person
Marshall gives some of the best advice in the show such as enticing Ted to go after the bass-player and having the intuition to move to the suburbs with Lily.
18. He trusts and is confident in his body
IT'S MAN... VERSUS THE MACHINE!!!
19. He will make you laugh at anytime
Let's face it, Marshall is hilarious. He can make you laugh at even the most basic jokes.
20. COUPLE GOALS
Marshall and Lily are couple goals. That's it. Period. End. Of. Story.
How I Met Your Mother is one of the most re-watchable shows, and Marshall is the loving caring husband that helps hold the small group together. Marshall's wisdom and his charismatic "Minnesota-Nice" attitude are awesome, and in my opinion, he is the perfect husband.
