"To My Dear and Loving Husband," by Anne Bradstreet is obviously a poem expressing a wife's love and devotion towards her husband. The narrator believes that the couples’ love makes them one through the line, "If ever two were one, then surely we," and “If ever man were loved by wife, then thee.” The last line of the poem, “That when we live no more we may live ever,” is a paradox because it is a contradicting statement. Although, in this line she is implying that their love will live after they die.
