Anniversary letter for your husband

Letter · Husband

My love, I don't think I've ever properly thanked you, so this year I'm putting it in writing. Thank you for the way you take care of us. For the extra shifts you worked when money was tight, and for never once making me feel like it was a burden. For learning to braid our daughter's hair from online videos. For the cups of tea you bring me when I'm buried in work, and the way you quietly take the trash out before I even notice it's full. Thank you for loving me through the parts of me that are not easy to love. For staying calm when I panic, for forgiving my sharp words and for always being the first to say sorry, even when it wasn't your fault. You have taught me so much about grace. Thank you, most of all, for choosing this life with me. You could have had any life you wanted, and you picked ours, with all its noise and mess and joy. Happy anniversary. I'm so grateful I get to love you. With a full and grateful heart,

To my dear husband, Happy anniversary. Can you believe how many years it has been? Sometimes I look at you across the dinner table, with a little more gray at your temples and the same mischief in your eyes, and I feel exactly like I did on our wedding day. We have lived so much life together. We have built a home and filled it with noise and people and dogs. We have sat in hospital rooms and at graduations, waited up for teenagers and learned how to be just the two of us again. Through every season, you have been my constant. I love the way we can talk without speaking now. One look across a crowded party and I know you are ready to go home. One squeeze of my hand and I know everything will be okay. That kind of understanding only comes from years of choosing each other. Thank you for growing older with me, gracefully and with so much humor. I wouldn't trade a single year, not even the hard ones. I hope we get many, many more. Yours, always and completely,

Hey handsome, Happy anniversary! I wanted to write you a proper love letter, the old-fashioned kind, so here it is. Feel free to keep it in your sock drawer next to the birthday cards you swear you don't save. Here's what I love about you, in no particular order. I love that you still dance with me in the kitchen even though neither of us can dance. I love that you name every spider you carry outside. I love how excited you get about a good sandwich. I love that you call your grandmother every Sunday. I love the way you say my name when you wake up. But mostly, I love how it feels to be married to you. It feels like coming in from the cold. It feels like a warm, easy kind of happiness I didn't know was possible before you. Thank you for another year of laughing, loving and building our life together. I'm still your biggest fan, and I'll be cheering for us for the rest of our lives. Love you to bits,
