An Open Letter To My Husband

Dear Mr. K,

Seventeen years ago I was a 19 year old ambivalent bride. I took a leap of faith, opened up my heart to all the possibilities and said I do. In spite of the bets that took place at the reception and the doubts that plagued the minds of many, we have made it to this point. Trials and tribulations we have had but mixed into the whirlwind of our life together there has been love and joy and five beautiful children.

You have loved me like no other man has. You have learned me. You have been my rock while at the same time my soft place to fall. I know it has not been easy.

Thank you for healing my broken heart, for holding me up when I thought I would fall, for partnering with me in the parenting of our children, and for letting me be who I am – even when I don’t know who that is.

There are a million little things that keep me falling in love with you more and more each day, but mostly, what endears me to you is the fact you are my best friend and lover.

Still my 9 out of 10.

Forever yours,

Your Wife

    So sweet. I’m so glad to know that there are other couples like Gabe and I that still love each other more and more with each passing day. We are a dying breed. Keep loving each other and remember what brought you together in the first place! Happy Anniversary!
