Jessica Simpson has never been happier!

This summer alone, the mother of two got married, enjoyed a beautiful honeymoon and proved to be in fabulous shape. Did you see those bikini pics?

And in a new letter to Glamour magazine, Mrs. Eric Johnson is sharing what she has learned about loving her man and most importantly, herself.

"I've grown into myself and established my identity on my terms. I embrace my strengths and celebrate even the small victories," she writes for the publication. "I'm certainly not perfect, but when I look in the mirror, I'm proud of the woman I see. I'm not only someone's mother, wife, and daughter—I'm me."

The 34-year-old singer, who recently served as a bridesmaid for sister Ashlee Simpson's wedding, says her self-love could not have been possible without her husband.

"Eric has seen me at every size, and he loves me no matter what," she explains. "Eric was so supportive and challenged me to accept my insecurities and focus on what truly matters."

The Weight Watchers spokeswoman added, "I feel stronger than ever, and Eric's unconditional love has been a reminder of the love I should give myself."

Pretty sweet, right?

Today, Simpson continues to balance motherhood and a successful fashion empire.

But no matter what obstacles come her way, the happy wife knows she has plenty of love and support.

"My family has been by my side in every way imaginable—through the highest highs and the lowest lows," she explains. "I believe that because I've nurtured and cherished these relationships, my marriage and the relationship I have with myself are strengthened daily."
