My Dearest Husband,
Ah yes, you are my dearest, the love of my life! Each and every day I feel blessed to be so lucky to have you for my husband. The children are blessed to have you as their father. Our life together is all that we wanted it to be and more. You have surpassed my every dream, and I will be eternally grateful for your love. I wanted to tell you how amazing you are in this letter before I say anything else, so you are absolutely clear about how I feel. What I am about to say does not detract from how I feel about you, not at all, but I have to tell you about this thing that is increasingly bothering me and making me feel a deeper sadness as the weeks go by. Perhaps it is foolish to even mention it. I don’t want you to worry or change anything, I just want you to understand what I am feeling.
When I come home in the mornings exhausted after a night shift at the hospital, I wander in the door and see you cheerfully getting the kids ready for school. You don’t know how grateful I am that they don’t have to go to a sitter in the morning. I know this makes their start to the day so much more relaxing and lets them head to school with a distinct advantage that so many other kids just don’t have any more. Then, later in the day you are there for them when they arrive home. You always have a snack ready and they are so excited to see you and relate their experiences to you. I guess what I am trying to say is that I am feeling like I am not a full member of this family. Oh dear, that sounds awful and isn’t really exactly what I mean. Maybe I feel like I have just faded into the background over the years. When I get home in the mornings, I know you are terribly busy and the kids are in a rush, but oh, how I would love it if you all greeted me with joy in your eyes and a special hug.
It seems your attention is solely on the kids, which I completely understand. They desperately need that attention. This is why I am so conflicted about even writing this letter. Maybe it is all my fault. I agreed to the night shift because I though it would give us days together, but it seems like I see less of you now than before. I miss being with you so much. I miss the fun we’ve always had and the tenderness that only a decade of love can bring. Maybe if there is one thing that could change it would be having some special time together, just you and me. Can we perhaps make a date for this coming weekend? Would that be fun? I love you so incredibly and would adore spending a few hours alone with you every now and then. We can hold hands and stare into each others eyes like we used to. OK, it’s official; I’m asking you out on a date this weekend!
I love you with all my heart and always will,

To my Dearest Husband,
Aren’t we just wonderful? Did you ever imagine we would live so long, remaining so very much in love decade after decade? I know we must have had some rough times, but I seem to be having trouble recalling them, really. All I remember is the happiness that we have brought each other! While the whole world has changed, almost beyond belief, you have remained the single constant in my life. You have been my rock to cling to and my dearest husband to love with all my heart, and I will be eternally grateful for your strength and love! We were pretty naive, yet so hopeful when we got married all those years ago. We certainly made the right decision, even though my parents were so worried. They came around though, didn’t they?
Do you remember when we watched On Golden Pond when the kids were young? The details of the movie are hazy, but I clearly remember sitting there thinking that someday that would be us. Well, here we are, and it has been a more amazing life together than I ever dreamed possible. We have seen it all and done it all too! Raised a beautiful family, built this wonderful home, traveled to Europe and Asia, and enjoyed every moment of it because we had each other. Now, our great-grandchildren bless our lives with their brightly smiling faces. Hopefully, life will be as wonderful for them as it has been for us.
Have I thanked you lately for all these fabulous years? It seems to be something that people just naturally put off, waiting for I don’t know what. But I want you to know now that I thank you from the depths of my soul for making my life such as joyous one. Our hearts are firmly locked together, and I know they always will be.
All My Love and Gratitude,

To my dear husband
If there was a word higher than the word love, I would use it to describe how I feel about you. If there were enough words to tell you how wonderful you are, I would use them. If there were enough words to tell you how grateful I am that you chose me, I would use them.
You have given me the best years of my life. I remember the first day that we met; our discussion was brief, but I knew there was something special about you. So when you asked me on a date I jumped at the chance and I was right, you were amazing.
We have definitely had our ups and our downs, but not one night have you gone to bed without telling me how much you love me, not one week has gone by without receiving flowers and a card to let me know how much you appreciate me. Never have we missed our weekly night out, with just the two of us. You have no idea how much I look forward to our trips with your spontaneous and out of this world ideas.
You have given me three beautiful girls, and they love their daddy more than life itself. It’s funny because the same excitement they experience when you put the key in the door after work is the same as mine. You still give me butterflies after fifteen years of knowing you.
You are my dream man, I wrote down what I wanted in a husband long before you came along, and so when I met you I knew you were the one. I always said to myself I wasn’t going to be like everyone else and settle. You are everything I want and more, and I feel so blessed to have you in my life, I am looking forward to having many more years with you my sweet love.
I will cherish you always.
My love for you will continue to grow,
Your wife
