25 Reasons Why Everyone Should Marry An Alaskan

Not to be cliche, but hey - sometimes size does matter. And marriage is something that we take very seriously, so why not go big or go home? When you marry an Alaskan, you are sure to always be in for an adventure. Plus, you will be fed the best quality meat and seafood that this earth has to offer. And there is no quicker way to a man's (or woman's) heart than through their belly.

1. They aren’t high maintenance.

2. They are fearless.

3. They are awesome, weird and they have the best sense of humor.

4. You will always feel safe with an Alaskan.

5. Being with them makes you feel high on life.

Or maybe you're just a little short on oxygen.

6. They are king in the kitchen.

Catching crabs is their forte after all.

7. Their hearts are warmer than the ice they take you to play on.

No big deal. Just an epic landmass known as a glacier.

8. They are one with nature.

Go on and find your zen. We'll just sit back and watch all the rugged hotness.

9. They hunt...

We still can't figure out why our grocery stores have meat departments.

10. And gather...

Picking berries with the bears. In Alaska, this is actually a very dangerous act of love.

11. And they pull things out of the water with their bare hands to feed you.

12. Oh and what's for dinner? Just something they grew themselves.

With a little water, love and some endless midnight sun.

13. They treat you so well that you’d even consider living in an igloo if it made them happy.

Or maybe just pose next to an ice log cabin for kicks and giggles. It's the thought that counts, right?

14.

You don’t have to worry about shopping, they will make you way better clothes with their bare hands.

Urban Alaskans need not apply. Our homesteaders and ancestors were the real pioneers of this incredible act of love.

15. They are full of pride for their culture.

Plus, they’re great dancers.

16. They are very resourceful whenever caught in a bind.

Plus, they aren't afraid to get dirty.

17. Romance? Yeah they’ll take you to places that no one else has ever been.

Let Alaska do all the talking...

18. And fly you to places you've never been.

Alaska has six times as many pilots per capita and 16 times as many aircraft per capita when compared to the rest of the United States.

19. Winter weather doesn't phase them.

Maybe you've heard of a little show called Ice Road Truckers?

20. And thankfully, you'll never have to worry about being cold.

As if they weren't already hot enough to warm you up.

21. Let’s face it, there isn't anything sexier than a man that loves dogs.

Gasp. Melt. Swoon. With the state sport being Dog Mushing, we are spoiled up here with doggone compassionate men.

22. And when one of those earthquakes gets out of control, worry not - they can rebuild using trees they cut down themselves.

Who needs Paul Bunyan and Babe the Blue Ox when you can have your very own Alaskan babe?

23. When you marry an Alaskan, you're sure to make some pretty cute outdoorsy kids.

A little dirt never hurt. Baby XtraTuf's are what life goals are made of!

24. When the fireworks start to fade, they rekindle the flame with the best show of your life.

Cue the Aurora! Yeah, those lower 48'ers got nothin' on Alaskans.

25. When it comes to gifting the celebratory gold on your 50th Anniversary, you won't find an Alaskan going to Zales.

No, no. After 50 years, you better believe that they will dredge that gold themselves.

Alaskans will hunt for you, jump in a frozen lake to save you, build you a log cabin with their bare hands, protect you with an arsenal of guns and take you on dates to view the Northern Lights. When you marry an Alaskan you are sure to be in for quite the ride. But that's okay, we like our soulmates just like our seafood - WILD. Can you think of anything that we left off the list?
