Dear ________,

Wow! Where has the time gone?! I cannot believe that our lives have been interwoven now for 24 years, and we have ____ children to prove it! What a journey it has been… with the ups and downs of life, and yet we have been spared some of the real tragedies that so many face.

It is awesome to consider that many couples' love grows cold over time, but ours is as strong as ever.

I have to thank you sweetheart for being such an awesome wife and mother. I am the envy of everyone who knows me! (because of you!)

To recount the things about you that make being married to you so easy…

You are loyal and faithful and a person who enjoys cuddling, hugging, and talking together.

You have no pretense and don't try to be someone you are not. You are accepting of others and though you expect the best, you accept people as they are.

No doubt, your upbringing and desire to serve the Lord has put a strong inner compass inside that points you toward "doing what's right"… together with my boyish tendency to once in a while break the rules—we make a great couple.

And, of course, I would be amiss to forget talking about your love for administration and office work—what a great compliment to my tendencies and gifts that don't include passion for administration.

And then we need to remember that you are such a bright and intelligent person. It's very cool to be married to someone who is beautiful and intelligent… and yes, you are always such a graceful, classy, person—not in a condescending prideful way—but in a manner that exudes quality, distinction, and beauty.

I am convinced that real adventures lay ahead of us, and how delightful it is that I can share this journey with you. Without a doubt, apart from salvation, you are the best thing that ever happened to me!

In conclusion, sweetheart, our anniversary will always represent a time of gratitude, appreciation, and celebration!

Life is so much more than money and possessions—it's really about love and relationships. And so, in that life/light, we are rich!

My love, you are valued, cherished, and admired! You have always been, and continue to be, an example to us all! Keep up the great work!

The best heritage we can pass on to our kids is love for God and devotion to one another!

Love,
