This poem is simply beautiful. The fact that the poem is dedicated to his wife makes it so much sweeter and really shows Abse's true feelings. It shows that Abse still thinks back to the early days in their relationship, which implies that they have good memories and times together. Also, the fact that he mentions how far they have come - 'three grandchildren later' - suggests that their relationship is strong and the fact that they have made it this far together implies that they must really love each other.
I don't feel like there are many Larkin poems that link to this poem as Larkin doesn't tend to let us into his emotions or show us much about his personal life.
