Dear Partner,
Lately, I’ve noticed we’ve both been a bit out of sorts. We’re worn out, running on fumes, and feeling stretched thin. Life is joyful, yet the demands are relentless.
You carry the responsibility of our growing family on your shoulders. I see the stress and worry etched on your face as you come home to a whirlwind of bedtime routines and bath time chaos. If you’re lucky, you wake up to an alarm, but more often than not, it’s our little one who decides when the day begins.
I spend my days at home with our two little ones, and some days, it feels like I’m barely functioning. My body feels foreign, and time seems to slip away while I struggle to accomplish even the simplest tasks. I often feel like I’m failing as a mother, questioning why I can’t juggle everything and have dinner ready when you arrive. I worry you might feel the same way.
I want to apologize for the times I’ve snapped at you, for letting my frustrations spill over. I’m sorry for the moments when I’ve assumed the worst of you.
Yet, despite all this, I am deeply grateful for you. Thank you for waking up early to tend to the baby, for playing with our children, and for always supporting my parenting choices. Your willingness to do whatever it takes for our family doesn’t go unnoticed.
I realize I often don’t express it, but I cherish those stolen hugs in the hallway. When you pull me close and hold on tightly, it reassures me that your love for me is still strong. Even amidst the beautiful chaos of our lives, we are still connected.
It’s easy to reminisce about the love we shared before children—our spontaneous dates, cozy evenings spent on the couch, and the heartfelt notes we exchanged. That was love, but I believe the real essence of love is where we find ourselves today. It’s about the daily sacrifices we make, showing up for each other, even when we’re exhausted. It’s the little things: letting you sleep in a bit longer while I handle the kids or giving you a moment to breathe after a long day. It’s about putting our own needs aside for the sake of our little ones and lifting each other up in the process. This is what true love looks like.
I’ve heard that navigating these early years can be challenging, but I have faith in us. We aren’t just partners; we are a family. You are my family, my safe haven in the midst of life’s chaos, and I can’t imagine a future without you. So for every diaper you change, for every late-night wake-up call, and for every hour you devote to work, I will remember these gestures are the true romance of our time. This is what real love looks like.

True love evolves through shared experiences, especially during the challenging early years of parenting.

As we navigate this journey together, it’s essential to recognize that real love is found in the little moments and gestures that keep our connection strong.
