Anniversary letter for your wife

My darling,

Happy first anniversary! One year ago we stood in front of everyone we love and made promises that felt enormous. Today I can report that marriage is going even better than I hoped, apart from the ongoing debate about how to load the dishwasher.

This year taught me so much about you. I learned that you sing when you think no one is listening, that you can't fall asleep without one foot outside the covers, and that you get quiet when you are worried instead of loud. I learned that you are even more thoughtful than I realized, because you remember things I said months ago and turn them into little surprises.

Most of all, I learned that being married to you feels like being on the same team every single day. Whatever happens, I know you are in my corner, and I hope you always know I am in yours.

The letter

My darling,

Happy first anniversary! One year ago we stood in front of everyone we love and made promises that felt enormous. Today I can report that marriage is going even better than I hoped, apart from the ongoing debate about how to load the dishwasher.

This year taught me so much about you. I learned that you sing when you think no one is listening, that you can't fall asleep without one foot outside the covers, and that you get quiet when you are worried instead of loud. I learned that you are even more thoughtful than I realized, because you remember things I said months ago and turn them into little surprises.

Most of all, I learned that being married to you feels like being on the same team every single day. Whatever happens, I know you are in my corner, and I hope you always know I am in yours.

Here's to our first year, and to every year still waiting for us. I love you more today than I did at the altar, and that is saying something.

All my love, always,

Make it personal

  1. 1

    Start with one memory. The first apartment, the wedding-day nerves, the Sunday pancakes. One detail makes the whole message hers.

  2. 2

    Say thank you. Name something she does that you rarely mention out loud. It often means more than the romance.

  3. 3

    Look ahead. End with what you want for the next year together, or simply that you would choose her again.
