You could give this to your spouse on a napkin or an expensive card, but the result will be the same. Just keep in mind the old saying “it’s the thought that counts.” As long as you take the time to express your true feelings, your spouse will be happier than ever.

Wishing you a lifetime of love and happiness,

Dr Dana and Amy
