There are many important relationships in life, and they deserve to be appreciated for all they have done. However, there is one relationship that takes away the top priority among all. It is the relationship between spouses. There is no one in this world that knows you as much as your spouse, not even your parents. Spouses spend most of their adult life together, and they share their moments with each other like no other.
As a woman, one of the most important days in your married life is the day of your anniversary, especially the first one. It is the time when a whole year is concluded with your husband, and you get to know for sure that this is the person you either want to live with or don’t. If it is the former, you would definitely want him to know what this year meant to you.
If you are looking for first anniversary wishes for your husband, I have compiled this beautiful list just for you.

-UnknownWhat to write in an Anniversary Card
If you decide to give your husband an anniversary card, here are some ideas for what to write on them.
• When you walk into a room, the whole room stops and stares at you. All of these stars in the sky, but not one of them shine brighter than you. I feel so lucky that out of all the women in this world, you chose me. I will never take you for granted. I love you so much, my dear. Happy Anniversary!
• Every time you touch me, it feels like I am touched by heaven. You take my breath away every time you speak. It feels like I was dreaming about the most beautiful soul in the universe, and that soul walked out of my dream and became my reality. I don’t know how to believe that you have become mine. I love you now and will love you forever. Happy Anniversary, my precious!
• It took us a while, but we reached each other’s hearts. Without you in my life, it will be a restless endeavour. Without you, I would have been incomplete. You came into my life when my mind seemed to be in a coffin, and you brought me back to life. I was living in the dark, and you became my light. You have no idea how thankful I am to life for showing you the door to my heart. Happy anniversary!
• I never used to care about finding the right guy. I had my defences up because I thought love was just a distraction. All the guys were there, but they never made me break a sweat. I never even cared about getting ready. But then you came into my life, and I just became this person who became obsessed with being perfect because I wanted to be with you and impress you. You made me glow as soon as you walked in. Your first glance made me paralyzed. Unlike before, I wanted to fall in love, and I did. I am so glad I chose you to love, and I couldn’t have made a better decision. Happy anniversary to the loveliest husband in the entire universe.
• I admire you like women admire shiny diamonds. With your hand in mine, there is no part of heaven we can’t experience. I never want to lose you, my love. You changed me to become a better person, and I love that the most about you. Happy Anniversary!
• There was a certain emptiness in my life, and I couldn’t figure out what it was. As soon as you stepped into my life, I realized that there was a vacancy in my heart that needed you to fill it. You are my other half, my one and only, my dearest. I love you so much.
• When I had a mental health spiral in my life, someone told me to go outside and appreciate the green grass and the blooming trees. I did even more; I sat down beneath rainbows and the white clouds. I hiked through the green trees and listened to the birds chirping in the forest. I watched some animals grow and become strong. These were all the joyous moments of my life, but nothing made me as happy as the day I met you. Happy anniversary; I love you, darling.
• Today I heard Judy Garland sing, "Somewhere, over the rainbow, way up high. There's a land that I heard of once in a lullaby. Somewhere, over the rainbow, skies are blue, and the dreams that you dare to dream." Throughout these lyrics, she was talking about a place, but I realized that for me, it was a person. That person was you, and I am already in this imaginary beautiful land. I love you so much. Happy anniversary!
