Happy Valentine's Day to My Husband
Rhinestone Cowgirl’s post to her AUA prompted me to think about how very special you are. We are truly a case where the whole is so much better than either of the parts.
– We cook well together. You taught me to make all sorts of Jewish food and to follow the recipe. I taught you to experiment with lots of new food and to just make up the recipe.
– You taught me to save money. When I met you, I was spending every penny I earned. You had $20,000, which sounded like a fortune to me. We’ve enjoyed our money, but thanks to you we’ve planned for retirement.
– You contributed folk music to my classical preference and our Ipods are more interesting as a result.
– I taught you to love dogs. You taught me how to choose perfect names for them.
– I got you to read more by starting our book club so many years ago. You taught me the value of finishing the book on the day of the discussion, which I am doing this month.
– We could both have profited from some lessons in disciplining children. But at least we were of one mind.
– You constantly amaze me with your technical skills. I, on the other hand, bring the more practical skills like unstopping toilets.
– I made you realize just how much you value this religion we both now share. I lured you into the choir. We both grow as we learn how little we know about Judaism.
– You taught me that people can be smart and still be humble about it. I taught you that making things is also a way to be smart.
– You taught me to say “I’m sorry” and mean it. I taught you to count to 10 before you scream.
– We have learned together that sex only gets better with age, sort of like a bottle of good wine. I can remember maybe only 5 times in all these years when you weren’t interested.
– We taught each other that fidelity makes a marriage stronger. I’m convinced that there is no greener grass!
So happy Valentine’s Day to the love of my life. After 33 years of being with you, I know that you are the best thing that ever happened to me!
With all my love,
Barbara

I feel a bit cheesy commenting on this but it was so beautiful I just had to say how thrilled I am for you both to have found one another and built this life together.
It's lovely :-)
It's nice to hear people making public declarations of love that don't start with...you're still hot after all these years...but focus on what makes a marriage...compromise, sharing and being a better person by being together. Awesome...
Happy Valentine's Day to you both. :)
Sniff...sniff.
Lovely sentiments. Have a Happy Valentine's Day.
I just shivered. Good lord, I'm looking forward to this...
Oh...that is beautiful!
