Anne Bradstreet's poem, "To My Dear and Loving Husband," is a small poem wherein she’s revealing her never-ending love, devotion, and appreciation for her spouse.

Many stories have similar themes, “The Rememberer” by Aimee Bender and “Jealous Husband Returns in Form of Parrot” by Robert Olen Butler are two short stories that do. In “The Rememberer,” Ben is going through reverse evolution and Annie and Ben both do not know why. It is implied that Ben remembers Annie, but not completely specified.

Alice Munro’s, “How I Met My Husband”, provides a good example of both situational and dramatic irony. The situational irony lies in the fact that the reader does not expect the mailman to be Edie's husband at all.

In Alice Monroe’s story How I Met My Husband the most obvious theme is the social class separation of farmers housewives and regular housewives. The theme of social class separation is showed in many ways, by the level of education, the level of respect from others, and the level of respect in themselves.
