In a photo of the couple recreating the American Gothic painting, theYellow Jacketsstar, 46, listed all the things she’s thankful her husband, 43, does in their relationship — including “being a cutie.”

“Thank you @jason_ritter for making me laugh out loud every day; doing your very best to remember to do things that make my life easier; working so hard on yourself for the last ten years and making any of this possible; wanting to hear the stories about any and every thing that happened when I wasn’t with you,” wrote the actress.

She continued: “Making fun of me in a way that makes me feel seen and celebrated and also makes me cry laughing; being the best dad our sweet daughter could possibly have; always choosing to watch the reality show even though you’d rather be watching documentaries; being exceptionally kind to every person you encounter; loving me so fiercely and unconditionally that it’s literally changed me as a human being and allowed me to love myself too.”

“I love you, Dringus,” the Emmy nominee concluded.

Ritter replied to his wife’s heartfelt message, writing, “I have come to truly love the reality shows. I love you so much thank you for this sweetness!!”

“Happy Valentine’s Day to the loveliest there ever was. Thank you for being who you are, thank you for loving me in such a way that you inspired me to strip myself of the mask I can sometimes wear out in the world, and allowing me to show you the parts of myself that even I was afraid to look at. (And also, sorry you had to see all that stuff 😅) I love you with my whole heart, and you and our daughter make coming home the most joyous experience a person can ask for,” wrote Ritter.

He concluded: “I love you forever, you’re it for me. Thank you for this happiness ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️.”

“I love you so much Dringus,” Lynskey wrote in the comment section. “This is the only rollercoaster I am ok with being on (but I am hopeful all the sudden drops have ended now)! I’m so grateful to you ❤ thank you for this life and this sweet post.”
