For my husband

Baby,

Sometimes I forget to thank you for the many, many wonderful blessings that came to my life because of you. During ungrateful moments, I see only what's wrong, I fail to see the many, many right things about you and about our marriage. I'm sorry baby.

I want to let you know that I thank you so much for your gifts during my 8th spiritual birthday. I especially love the beautiful Bible you gave me. I just finished reading a write up in it and I was encouraged. Thank you baby for trying so hard to understand the female psyche. I know that sometimes I come across as weird; I mean you probably don't understand my qualms sometimes, but I know that you are trying very hard to be a good husband to me. Everything didn't go unnoticed baby, and I cherish all of them in my heart.

Baby, thank you for being who you are. You definitely put balance in my life. You are strong where I am weak and you help me to take care of all of my relationships. You always remind me that our marriage is more important than my work, and you are absolutely true. No one else can become a closer best friend to me than you.

I really appreciate that you came home for me today when I told you about my struggles at work. You spent time with me and gave me a warm hug to comfort me. I am so blessed to have a husband like you, who is always there for me. You are so comforting baby. Your embrace gives me a lot of reassurance that things will get better.

Thank you for listening to me when I feel like talking for hours. Thank you so much when you listen to all my complaints in life, and you gently remind me to see things in a different perspective. Of course I know that at times I push you to the edge of your patience, but you always come back refreshed to listen to me again.

Thank you baby for asking me to pray when it's hard to pray. Thank you for reminding me to pray at night before we sleep. It's very important. Thank you baby for always reminding me to spend time with God. You know when I am relying on my own strength and you know when to give me a nudge to pray and to go to God.

Thank you for loving my own family as your own family and for praying for their health. Thank you for taking care of my parents like you are their own son. Thank you baby for being a husband, a brother, and a best friend to me!

I love you baby! I know this should come more often. I hope I made you feel cherished, loved, and appreciated. I love you so much!!! (big hug)

Love your wife,
Ingrid
