Dearest Valentine,
I realize that I fall far short of Prince Charming, Casanova, Don Juan, and Romeo. I'm not what you would call eager to spend money frivolously on flowers, candy, balloons, knick-knacks, paddy-whacks, or cows that jump over the moon. And, you know that I am about as close to romantic as Michael Scott is to couth. I know I'm not the perfect husband, and I never will be.
But... I am your husband. I am your husband that loves you more than you will ever know, or I could remotely come close to expressing. I am your husband that looks forward to spending the coming decades, and, who knows with the advances in technology, maybe even centuries, with you. I am your husband that is blessed to be the father of your children. I am your husband that will be by your side when you succeed and when you fail; who will love you all the same in both cases. I am your husband that doesn't need some made up holiday to tell you haw much he loves and cherishes you, but is willing to tell you on that day to make sure you do not feel left out.
Thank you for letting me be your husband. Thanks for putting up with me. Thanks for loving me.
I love you.
-me

Dearest Valentine,
You have just given me the perfect Valentine's Day gift. I think the reason I like celebrating special occasions is because it's a day that makes you take time out and tell someone how much they mean to you.
Thank you for taking the time to share your heart with me. Thank you for all of the little things you do for me, even though you don't want to, just because you know it will make me happy.
I couldn't ask for a better mate, and I continue to be amazed at how much God has blessed our friendship and our marriage. Thank you for being my best friend. I look forward to learning new things together as we become parents, and I look forward to growing old with you.
Thanks for putting up with me (Lord knows you do) and for loving me despite my imperfections. I love you even more today than I did on our wedding day.
-me
P.S. - Who is that crazy women in your previous post? Goodness! She looks like a mad woman!
That's my boo, yo!
