Dear wife
(well almost)
I know you are still a stupid kid at heart. I know you still need your mom for everything and your dad still treats you like his little girl. I know marriage sounds like a big responsibility for which you are not ready. I know starting a family, becoming a lady of the house, and having a baby are heavy thoughts in your carefree world. Trust me, I understand. And I understand because I am as terrified as you are. But you know what? We will be fine, together. And no, I don't see my mom in you. I don't expect you to run my home and take care of me as my mother does. I want us to stay like two lovers. Let's mess up, together.
About cooking, to survive, one of us must learn to make Maggi at least. That's all I expect from you. So, chill. My home is not an old Bollywood set-up where you need to make a sweet dish to prove your wife credentials. What else can scare you? Hmmm, you will still have your own life, personal life. You can still have your own friends, go out with them, and just do your own things as before. And they don't even need to be my friends. And to visit your parents, you need to remember one important rule: Don't ask me. I am nobody to 'allow' when and how you can meet your parents. So please, just go.
And yes, career, well, do whatever the hell you want to do. I won't have any problem with anything that you choose to do. Stay in your job or leave the job and do something of your own. And kids, well that will be special and hard. I mean, I don't know how we will do it. I guess we are too stupid right now to even imagine raising a baby, but we will manage, together. I know pregnancy would be super hard for you. And I know it will change your world completely. But I promise that I will stay awake every night that you won't be able to sleep. I promise that I will be there with you, in everything that you will go through.
I know that there are shit scary stories floating around about marriage and how it ruins your life. But trust me, we will be a different story. We will be the love story that they show in movies.
