Want a special anniversary with my husband

Dear Pastor,

I have been with a man for 22 years, but we have been married for 10 years.

When people see us and talk to us, they feel that we have not been together for so long. I know that I have taken good care of myself. I eat right and I exercise. My husband owns his own business and he makes time for me. So on the last day of January 2026, we will be celebrating our anniversary and we want it to be special. What can we do to make it special? We are thinking of having a second honeymoon and do the things that we did not do 10 years ago.

You see, Pastor, this man and I went on vacation together several times before we got married. We have gone abroad and we stayed in some lovely hotels. So to think about having a second honeymoon, what would be exciting about that? This man knows me inside out. I don't know what you can suggest that we do. We still have time to plan, so give us some ideas.

T.F.

Dear T.F.,

I can tell you that I suspect that your husband and you are loaded with cash. If you were poor people, you would not have a problem in deciding what to do and where to go, or how to celebrate your togetherness for the last 10 years since you have been married.

I am reminded of a lady who was in her senior years and she told me that her husband had died, but her children were living in different parts of the world. They were always having her spend time wherever they live. She loves travelling to be with her children. She did not have to pay any money for the trips. Your husband and you can afford to do whatever you want to do.

Although I may appear silly to suggest that you may go on a cruise, you probably have done so already. But you may choose a cruise that you have never done. That can be luxurious. You can also ask travel vacation planners to help you in going to new places because money is clearly not the problem for you.

Pastor
