For our second anniversary, I planned a special evening. I cooked my husband\u2019s favorite meal, set up candles, and surprised him with the smartwatch he\u2019d wanted for months.<\/p>\n

Inside was a letter from his mother. She wrote about the values she hoped we would carry into our marriage\u2014resilience, kindness, and teamwork. My husband had worked with her to create something meaningful.<\/p>\n
