• 40 years of marriage, we have come a long way, my love. I remember holding hands as we walked into the church to get married. Our vows were simple and yet, as we spoke them, our heart’s echoed the same message. We promise to share our lives through good times and bad. To love and cherish one another for all eternity. I wouldn’t choose anyone else in this world to spend my life with.
• It’s hard to believe that 40 years ago I was lucky enough to marry the love of my life. If someone had told me at 20 when we married that I would still be smitten with you at 60, I would not have believed them. But here we are and after all these years I am still madly in love with you.
• When we married forty years ago, we had no way of knowing the happiness that would follow. Every day I see you together I’m so pleased that we made this commitment to each other. Thanks for being such a great husband and helping me do what I want to do with my life – be your wife!
• You are my heart, my soul. I can’t thank you enough for all the love you’ve given me and for making me the happiest woman alive. I look forward to many more years of walking hand in hand together, growing old, crazy trips, memories to last a lifetime, and raising our beautiful family. You make every day so much brighter and I love you with all that I am!
• My mind is always consumed by thoughts of you. You are my heart, my soul, and the love of my life. I only want you and could never be with another. You are the world to me.
• You stole my heart the minute I first saw you. I never thought I would find someone like you and be so happy. The way you make me feel can’t be described in words. We have been through some hard times but each day I learn to love you more. Thank you for showing me how wonderful love can be! You are the best thing that ever happened to me. I cherish every moment with you and wish we could spend many more together.
• Ever since the day you opened your eyes to see me, you have been my one true love. I didn’t know what to do, so I just stared at you but you were too young to even notice you had another human in your life. I had always hoped that one day I would meet someone who would be my soul mate and I did but then I got worried that this person was born yet.
• Congratulations on your fortieth wedding anniversary. To be married for forty years is a tremendous accomplishment.

For your fortieth anniversary, I would like to give you both my best wishes for many more years together.

• All the years that have passed have been filled with much happiness. The many years of our marriage should not go unnoticed because they are the most beautiful and strongest years anyone could wish for. We fought through the hard times together, we loved through the good times together. Those are times I will always cherish.
• In the depths of my heart, I love you more and more each day. I hope that your 40 years together will be the start of a long life of love. I am so lucky to have found you!
• Marriage is a lifelong romance. It’s full of twists and turns, ups and downs, laughter, and tears. But when two people love each other enough, they can make it work. That’s because love grows over time. The first blush may have faded, but the love beneath only becomes more refined and powerful.
• You are my partner, my best friend my everything! I love you so much and can’t wait to spend our 40th anniversary together.

• This card is for you, to say how amazing you are! Thank you for sticking with me through thick and thin, through good times and bad. We have been together for so long that it feels like forever.

I cannot wait for many more years of laughs, kisses, cuddles, and love!
• We held each other close and promised to love and honor each other for better or worse, richer or poorer, in sickness and health. And remember what I read that day? True love doesn’t mean being inseparable; it means being separated and nothing changes. Congratulations on your 40th wedding anniversary, I hope you stay married for the next 40 years!
