Email of the Day: I Won the Marriage Lottery

I met my wife when I was 19, and we married less than a year later. We have been married for almost 50 years. I know we are not the norm, but we follow almost all your teachings. For our anniversary, I decided to write my wife a letter from the heart instead of getting her a present (although I did get her a dozen purple roses – her favorite). Here’s my letter:

I decided not to buy a card written by someone else. Instead, here is a letter from my heart. You are the love of my life, my best friend and lover. I may not have won the money lottery, but I am a big winner in the wife lottery. I could not ask for a more beautiful and loving partner. I don’t need anything for our anniversary – I already have you! I will always be there for you and will continue to try to be the best husband I can be and that you deserve.

Love you.

P.S. If this letter doesn’t get me “lucky” tonight, then I SHOULD have bought you something!

Don
