To My Dear and Loving Husband

If ever two were one, then surely we.
If ever man were loved by wife, then thee;
If ever wife was happy in a man,
Compare with me ye women if you can.
I prize thy love more than whole mines of gold,
Or all the riches that the East doth hold.
My love is such that rivers cannot quench,
Nor ought but love from thee give recompense.
Thy love is such I can no way repay;
The heavens reward thee manifold, I pray.
Then while we live, in love let’s so persevere,
That when we live no more we may live ever.

– Anne Bradstreet

I have the one I searched for, and it’s you.
I’m lucky that I have you as my mate;
It’s our anniversary; time to celebrate!

And it’s all because of the wonderful one.

So here’s to us and what we’ve done,
And to all the fun, that’s more to come!

Doubt that the sun doth move;
Doubt truth to be a liar;
But never doubt I love.

Husband’s Handy Habits

Every morning, he can’t find his shoes,
Always on the hunt, forever confused.
Yet, when it comes to the TV remote,
It’s in his hand, like a captain to boat.

He claims he listens, but often, he’ll drift,
Daydreaming of gadgets, his spirits uplift.
Yet I wouldn’t trade him, not for the world,
For he’s my anchor, as life has unfurled.

Dinner disasters, he’s had quite a few,
But when it comes to barbecues, he’s my guru.
This wonderful man, with habits so grand,
Together we stand, hand in quirky hand.

This poem affectionately pokes fun at common husband stereotypes – misplacing things, focusing on hobbies (like gadgets and BBQs), and selective listening. It wraps the humor in a warm declaration that these quirks are part of the man she loves.

My Time-Telling Man

Forgets the date but not the time,
His watch on wrist, always does chime.
Yet when it’s our day, he’s often late,
“Was it today?” Oh, the husband’s trait.

He’s punctual for football, that’s for sure,
But anniversaries? Dates seem quite obscure.
Yet when he recalls, he goes all out,
Makes me wonder what the fuss was about.

Calendar alerts, alarms, and chimes,
Yet, our date often slips by time.
My ever-forgetful, time-telling mate,
Together we laugh, at every missed date.

Another humorous look at a husband’s habits, this time focusing on remembering dates versus times or important events versus personal interests (like football). The poem ends with a sweet acknowledgment of laughing together through these relatable foibles.

Celebrating Milestone Anniversary Years for Your Husband

Certain anniversaries mark significant milestones – one year, ten years, twenty-five, fifty. These years represent different phases of the journey and call for reflections specific to the time passed.

Trial Year Triumph (1st Anniversary)

One year down, and what a ride,
Laughter, tears, a rollercoaster’s glide.
Burnt dinners and misplaced keys,
But wouldn’t trade it, not for all the seas.

“Who left the light on?” we often bicker,
The first one up, to the coffee maker quicker.
Yet through these quirks, love only grew,
More reasons to adore, a bond so true.

First anniversary, to the ‘trial year’ we toast,
Through every hiccup, together we coast.
The love we share, wild and free,
Here’s to the start of our lifelong spree!

The first year is often a period of adjustment, learning to live together. This poem humorously touches on the small struggles and triumphs of that initial phase, celebrating the fact that despite the “trial,” the love emerged stronger and ready for the future. Looking at examples of a haiku can also show how capturing small, specific moments, even challenging ones, can create a vivid picture.

So stick it out for ten more years; I’ll send a poem again.

Twenty Five Years (25th Anniversary)

Twenty-five years
On this day we were wed
A day wherein many
Joyous tears were shed.
And we had no idea
What life had in store
But we knew that one day
Our love would grow even more
And here we are now
We’re still here together
Because our love is a flame
That will burn bright forever.

Had a milestone, turning fifty.
Fifty years of sharing bed,
of sharing kids, and life.
Instead of looking back to see the score,
let’s look ahead to fifty more!
Happy Anniversary!
