Dear Husband, If You Stay Married to Me

If you stay married to me, I’ll love the crap out of you forever. I’ll be the most loyal wife you could ask for. I won’t trash you to my friends. I will make sure your kids know how AMAZING you are. I will hold your hand, cook your meals, and encourage you when you are down.

If you stay married to me, you can watch your kids be loved by the fiercest, most proactive, most praying Mama Bear. I know I am not perfect, but I CARE so much and I know that will cover some of my mistakes as a mom.

If you stay married to me, I will point you to Christ when we have problems, as I know you will do for me. I will confess my faults when I screw up and I will ask you for forgiveness.

If you stay married to me, I will watch Saturday Night Live, funny movies from the 90s, The Good Place, and Psych reruns with you. I will constantly quote old shows so that you and I continue to communicate in our secret language of hilarity. I will text you GIFs and memes that will make you spit out your coffee they are so funny. I will maintain laughter in our home AND our marriage.

If you stay married to me, I will commit to you again each day. I will try to be better today than I was yesterday. And I will love you more.

So think about it, will ya Babe? Another 18, another 48 I hope. I will drive you crazy, but I will also love you like crazy. And I promise it will be worth it.

I love you,

Your Wifey

P.S. You’re a saint.
