Send as a card →Husbands keep evidence, not adjectives: name a thing he did this year — the deck he built, the job he crushed, the way he showed up for the kids.
The marriage roast is a love language: one domestic joke (keys, thermostat, snoring) signals decades of affectionate observation.
End with the re-choose: 'I'd marry you again' lands harder on a birthday than on an anniversary, because it's unprompted.
One thing he did this year that you admired, one affectionate roast, one 'I'd choose you again'. Three lines, permanent keeper.
Send it as a letter he opens by candlelight — struck match, your words inside — timed for his morning coffee. Ceremony beats length.
