Although the bare reality of all life stressors and traumas is not so romantic, having your husband around when it was tough, and having him stay there for you and your family, is an important thing that should be on your list.

Tell him how much you appreciate his support in good times and the bad. Be specific, and list all the things your marriage survived. Some people decide to make this list after a very hard period of their marriage.

Even if he, for example, he betrayed your trust by being unfaithful, the fact that your relationship got through is something to be put on the 100-reasons list.

Your shared plans

It’s the fact that we can feel so safe and loved by someone to plan our future together with them that makes a marriage a happy one. So, make sure to let your husband know that.

You can list your upcoming vacations, the tomorrow’s theatre show, your date night or, you can also touch upon your greater plans for your future together, were you planning on buying a house, starting a business together, sending your kids to college?

And, finally, be more intimate than that, and speak of your plans to spend your last days in loving care for each other, describe it and say how much you love him for that.

Miscellaneous
