Anniversary wishes for the spouse who has, in fact, walked into the bedroom and forgotten why a thousand times. Iconic.

Happy anniversary. May our next argument be about something small enough to laugh about by Tuesday.

Years together, and you still steal the covers in your sleep. I've accepted it. Happy anniversary.

Happy anniversary. The wedding day photos still look great. The kitchen-sink photos are honestly funnier.

Anniversary love. The kids think we're embarrassing. They're not wrong. We're choosing it.

Happy anniversary. May the next year bring us better Wi-Fi, more snacks, and the same level of mutual tolerance we've achieved so far.

More from today

Years together. Same fight about the GPS. Same agreement on the snacks. Net positive. Happy anniversary.

Happy anniversary. We've been together long enough to know that the spider is, in fact, my problem to handle. Hasn't changed in years.

Anniversary wishes for the spouse who has finally, after all this time, learned to text back within an hour. Progress.

Happy anniversary. May the only thing we sleep on tonight be the couch we both picked out, voluntarily, after a movie.

Years married. Still laughing at the same bad jokes. Still annoyed by the same small habits. The balance has stayed roughly correct.

Happy anniversary. Marriage is when you go on a date and then talk about your back for half of it. We are crushing it.

Anniversary love to my spouse, who has, against all evidence, not yet returned me for a refund. Generous.

Years together. Still wondering who left the milk out. Still arguing about the thermostat. Still completely in love. Iconic.

Happy anniversary. May we always have the energy to mock each other affectionately for many more years to come.

Anniversary wishes. The first decade was the warm-up. The second decade is the cardio. We're hydrating.

Happy anniversary. May the next year bring us more sleep, fewer surprises, and the same level of mutual mockery we've enjoyed so far.

Years married. Same spouse. Same kitchen. Same fight. Same love. Wouldn't change a single thing. (Maybe the dishwasher loading.) Happy anniversary.

Happy birthday, son. Watching you turn into a person I'd want to know — even if you weren't mine — has been the great privilege of my life.

Birthday wishes for the adult version of the kid I used to read to. You're easier to read now. And funnier.

Happy birthday, son. The years go too fast. I'm trying to hold onto each one a little longer.

Son, you have grown into the kind of man I quietly hoped you would. Happy birthday. Today, said out loud.

Happy birthday. The kid I remember is somewhere in the adult I'm celebrating today. Both versions are loved.

Birthday love for my son, who has somehow become someone I'd ask for advice on the things I used to teach him.
