Dear Future Wife
How is your fine self today?
By now you know that I will be/I am a doctor. This is spells good things as well as bad things for both of us. I will let you get into the the life we are about to share.
So what's it's like to have a doctor husband?
You get to get free medical care. Both at home and at the hospital if you want. That’s a good thing. Don’t worry about your health we are sorted. But for me, I may get sick once in a while as an occupational hazard, but don’t worry, nothing contagious hopefully.
We get to enjoy the money together. We can spoil each other with the little money we will get. I hope you don't mind being spoilt. I want to spoil you a little. I believe that money is to be saved, as well as spent. So that.
We can raise children comfy. Self explanatory.

I won't get to travel a lot so you know I am either at home, church or the hospital.
But....
I will have call days, meaning I'll be working 24 hour sessions on some days. And it may be unbearable for the both of us. But this is the call I chose to answer.
I may get emotional. Reasons, I may lose a patient, I may have a rough day with my boss. I may not understand what I am studying and may end up frustrated. I need you to be my rock.
I will spend time immersed in books. Chunks of them. I hope you love reading, so that we can read side by side. Just so we don't feel alone.
Don't let the buts phase you. I promise there will always be time for you and the family. No one works forever.
I appreciate you.
Yours
Arthur
