My Dear Joseph,

Thank you for showing me what it means to be more than a lover and a friend to your partner. I didn’t have my father present in my life when I was growing up, nor did I have a father figure. So I always wondered how it would feel to have a man who loves me look out for me, take care of me, and protect me. Then, honey, you came along.

Like a healer, you filled all the cracks that growing up without a father left in my heart. The way you love me, love, I want to shout to the whole world that I am blessed to call you mine. Who else is going to pamper me like you do? The thoughtful gifts you get me, even when there are no occasions, and your eagerness to support my dreams, are gestures I do not take for granted at all.

You don’t care that I have a job that pays me well. You insisted on taking care of me right from day one, and you continue to do so. Not once have you asked me, “What do you use your money for?” It’s been years since we’ve been married, yet your stance on taking care of me financially remains unchanged. Thank you, my dear.

Before you, I used to think that I knew what love meant. However, with you, I now understand what true love is. You are more than my partner. You are my friend, my companion, my spiritual guide, my boss, my king, and my all-in-all. Don’t ever forget that I love you deeply.

My love, it’s my prayer that as the years bless us with age, you continue to be as kind and as generous as the very first day I fell in love with you. I am writing you this open letter to remind you of your awesomeness.

When in doubt, remember that you are everything I ever prayed to God for. Physically, you are my taste. I couldn’t have asked for a more handsome man than you. One of the things I admire about you is how hard you work. You inspire me to be better at work too. When it comes to giving, you are the gift that keeps giving. Even in the bedroom, you don’t withhold pleasure from me. Your prowess is unmatched, my love.

Thank the heavens for bringing you my way. And thank you for finding your way to me. You, my dear, are the best man in the world to me.
