A Custom Love Song for Your Husband

The problem with a long marriage is that you have already used the good ideas. There was a watch one year, a trip another year, and everything since has come out of the same three aisles. Both of you know it.

The material you have not used yet is already in the house. It is the phrase the two of you say instead of I love you, the one that would sound like nothing to anybody else. It is the chore he silently took over four years ago and has never once mentioned. The shelf he fixed twice that is still not level. The mug with the broken handle he keeps using and will not let anyone throw out. The order he gets every single time, unchanged since 2014.

Grand does not work on a man like this. Specific and slightly funny does. Naming the mug is proof you were paying attention when nobody was performing. A song about how much you love him in general is a card with a tune on it.

He already has everything he wants, which is the usual dead end with this man. Nothing is missing from that house. What does not exist yet is a record of what these particular years sound like from the inside, in your words, in a style he would put on himself.
