To My Wonderful Wife, My Everyday Blessing

My love, my heartbeat, my personal government-issued stress reliever, where do I even begin?

You, my darling, are the best thing that has ever happened to me, right after jollof rice and free Wi-Fi.

From the moment you came into my life, everything changed.

Suddenly, my laundry started washing itself, my food started tasting better, and I found socks I thought had disappeared into the underworld.

Every single day, you amaze me with your love, patience, and ability to tolerate my unique brand of nonsense.

You deserve a Nobel Peace Prize for handling my mood swings and a standing ovation for pretending to listen when I ramble about things that even I don’t understand.

You are the CEO of my heart, the Minister of Internal Affairs in this home, and the undisputed champion of all family debates.

The way you multitask between being my wife, my best friend, my financial adviser (who often says, “You spent how much on that?”), and my personal doctor (who prescribes “just drink water” for every ailment) is nothing short of legendary.

Life with you is like a well-cooked pot of soup, spicy, nourishing, full of surprises, and sometimes a little too hot to handle.

You are the only one who can make me smile even when I’m angry, and let’s be honest, you are also the only one who can make me apologize for something I still believe I was right about.

Thank you for your kindness, for your unwavering support, and for making sure I don’t walk out of the house looking like a confused masquerade.

Thank you for believing in me even when I doubt myself.

Thank you for filling our home with joy, laughter, and the occasional "Where did you put the remote?"

I love you more than I love my afternoon naps, more than I love the smell of fresh suya, and even more than I love avoiding traffic.

You are my queen, my safe place, my everything.

May our love continue to grow stronger, and may you continue to find new ways to outsmart me in every argument.

I wouldn’t trade you for anything in the world, except maybe unlimited data for life (but even then, I’d negotiate to have both).

Forever yours,

Your extremely lucky husband
