The Marriage Report

When was the last time you took time out of your busy schedule to write your spouse a letter? Not just a list of to-dos, but just a letter saying how much you appreciate them and value having them in your life. Do it today!! Below is something you can use as a start to encourage your spouse on today. My letter is to my sweetheart James but you can add your spouse's name and cater it to you.

Dear James,

I wanted to write this letter to let you know that I am thinking about you and that I love you so much. I know we have our differences and God made us two different people, but He made us just for each other. I appreciate all that you have done for me and all that you continue to do to show your love for me. Thank You!

You make me smile when I don't feel like smiling; you make me happy when I am sad and you bring joy and peace into my everyday worries. For that, I am so blessed to have you as my spouse and I am thankful for you every day.

I cherish each day I can wake up next to you and that we can spend together, whether it's a lot of time or a small block of time. I also cherish each night that we share our bed together; knowing that we can end our night as one holding each other, and letting go of the worries from that day.

I often look up and ask the question, "Can I really be this blessed to have you in my life?" My answer is always a resounding yes because how can I complain about someone as wonderful as you are.

Please forgive me if I have ever done or said anything to hurt you, because I want us walk this journey together in love and a renewed commitment to each other.

So on this day, I wanted to thank you for loving me, thank you for putting up with me, thank you for being patient with me, thank you for making me smile, thank you for serving me and most of all, thank you for being the Godly person that you are.

May God forever bless our marriage not just as a marriage, but as a "holy matrimony," so that as we walk this journey side-by-side and day-by-day, we will remain as one until "death parts us from each other."

Love Always,


Dawgelene (Your wife forever)
