How I Plan To Make You Happy Every Day Of Your Life


Dear My (Future) Wife,

The first time I thought I would fall in love and get married was when I was 8 years old. I envisioned a life where I would meet you by the time I turn 27.

The reason I am writing this today is because I can’t stop thinking about you and I can’t stop myself from imagining how happy we will be in the days to come with our togetherness. Let this letter be a promise to you that I will do my best to be the man I want to be for you:

  • I promise to make your smile my priority
  • I promise I will always look at you with the same adoration as I did the moment I realized I loved you.
  • I promise to try to ignite the same sparkle in your eyes I see when you’re surprised, inspired, motivated
  • I promise to hold your hand when we’re 80 years old with the same liveliness that I did when I crossed that line to hold yours for the first time.
  • I promise to do my best always to interest you.
  • I promise to keep reinventing myself, gaining new hobbies, new knowledge and new interests to keep you and myself - Entertained.
  • I promise to have new stories to share with you, and maybe I’ll retell the best ones again if you insist.
  • I promise to keep our friendship growing over the years
  • Even in grief and darkness, I promise to show you the different shades of the dark, and to help you find the tiny rays of light that are always there if you seek them.
  • I promise to play the games you like to play.
  • I promise to love your family as you love them and to be by their side as much as I am by yours.
  • I promise to always listen to you when you simply just want to be heard; when you want someone to vent to about something or when you want advice regarding the new dress that you would order on Amazon or Flipkart.
  • I promise to cook and clean for us (sometimes).
  • I promise to create family traditions and to make sure that your legacy lives forever through our child.
  • I have pictured my life with the person I am committed to – YOU.

Sincerely, 
Your (Future) Husband
