Dear Future Husband – An Honest Open Letter

- By Anamika Mishra

Dear future husband,

Firstly, if you are reading this I want you to know that I love you so much. You are very special to me. You are so so important to me that I can not even begin to put it in words. You might wonder why I am writing this open letter. Well, this is because firstly, you are my future husband and perhaps I don’t even know who you are; secondly) I am putting out this intention open in the universe so that universe sends you in my life when the time is right and fill your heart with all the wisdom and emotions that I expect from you.

When I begin to think about you, I feel the butterflies in my stomach. I cannot wait to start our life together and spend each day with each other. Frankly, I feel so nervous when I think of shifting from my house to yours and I don’t even know how I am going to manage because I have lived like a princess in my house. I am not an expect in household chores but I will surely try to learn and do well. Mainly because of the fact that this is also a sign of independence – to be able to cook our food; and perhaps I don’t know if we are going to live in a joint-family or not. Although I want to. Because I am a very family-oriented person and I love to be around people and elders. But before I forget, I want to say that I do expect your help in kitchen. So, if you are a good cook I am so grateful to the universe but if you are not, maybe we can learn together watching the youtube cooking videos.

I hope that you are kind and strong man that I see in my dreams. I pray that not just you, but everyone who is close to you loves me as much as you do. Dear Future Husband – An Honest Open Letter

I want to tell you that I am a bit impulsive, chirpy and spontaneous girl but at the same time, very sensitive and soft. At times I react without thinking, but I expect you to understand my nature and know that there is nothing less than true love and respect in my heart for you. And same goes for you! If you have any thing about your nature that I should know, I expect you to tell me because that way, I will be able to understand and behave accordingly.

Let me tell you something (kinda) funny. When I was in my 20s, I was a very filmy girl and thought love is exactly what we see in movies and read in romantic novels. But with time, I am understood it is just the fairytale period that ends real soon. I am still a romantic person and I appreciate romantic gestures like flowers and candle light dinners but I don’t expect it to turn into something very cheesy. I am a very simple person and it is very easy to please me. You hold my hand, call me beautiful or gift me a flower, and I will smile for the rest of the day. But whatever you do, do it with your full heart.

Which bring me to a very important point – Please don’t lie to me. I can bear anything but liars. Dishonesty is something that cracks me. So, no matter WHAT it is, good, bad or ugly, tell it to me. I might react and perhaps fight also but with time, I will understand if it is something which you did without a bad intention. Okay, this is a long topic, maybe we can talk in person once you read this letter after our marriage! Dear Future Husband – An Honest Open Letter

The most important thing that I expect from you is love, care, affection, respect, loyalty and time. Is that too much to ask for? I say,NO! These are the basics that every girl deserves from her husband.

When I girl leaves her house and moves in with her husband, all she has is her husband, who will take care of her, understand her and love her. Gradually she becomes frank and friendly with other family members but no one can come as close as the husband. Imagine the person who love so much and need so much starts to ignore you, take you for granted, yell at you, disrespect you and treat like unimportant.

The biggest turn-off for me is when someone talks to me rudely and starts to take me for-granted. This is mainly because in my house, my family has never ever spoken to me in a loud and rude tone. I expect you to treat me with respect and affection.

I am not saying arguments won’t happen or there will be no fights. I understand that we are adults and independent individuals and there will be some adjustment issues but I promise I will try adjust and expect the same from you. So no matter what, we will not end our day with fight. We will sit and talk and sort it out. Because at the end of day, you are my husband and I am your wife and we both love each other.

To be honest, I do not run after materialistic things; But yes, I do want to travel the world with you. I want to live a happy and simple life full of love. Dear Future Husband – An Honest Open Letter

I expect you to support my dreams because I am surely going to support yours. I will help in every way I can, because obviously ‘love’!

You are my ‘forever’ kind of love and I hope no one replaces my place in your heart and life, ever. Know that, I married you just because of the reason that I love you. There is no other reason but LOVE. As phoebe says in friends, you are my lobster!

I pray that our love grows every day in every way.

If you are not a fan of reading and if you have make it to this line, then at first, thank you so much because you read it for my sake and secondly, know that I truly love you.

Ending this open letter here, with gratitude, love and hope that the divine universe will always grant our deepest wishes, protect our bond and keep the love and respect alive in our hearts forever.

In the song “God Gave Me You,” Blake Shelton says, “God gave me you for the ups and downs,” and I believe in that one hundred percent. I don’t know where you are, who you are or whether you are thinking of me right now, but I can’t wait to meet you. I can’t wait to make the memories that lasts forever. I can’t wait to spend the rest of our lives together. Life is going to be a rollercoaster, but surely it will be the best ride of our lives and we are going to love it.

Hope you see you soon!

With all my love,

Your future wife! ❤
