A great way to add romance to any relationship is to say I love you in a manner that is unexpected. The love letter is one of the best ways to go about this.
If he isn’t used to getting love letters from you, then a love letter from the heart will make a lasting impression. The fact that you’ve put time and effort into writing it will mean so much more than a store bought greeting card.
Here are some helpful tips for expressing your love on paper.
1.) The letter needs to be written in two stages. The first is the composition stage.
Editing comes next where you clean up mistakes and grammatical errors. Never edit your letter while composing because it slows down and stunts your writing.
The proper way to compose a letter is to just let your feelings flow. When you talk to someone, you rarely ever stop and edit the words you’re about to say, you just converse. You should emulate this when you write.
Imagine a setting where both of you are together and you’re telling him how much you love him. Write down whatever your imagination says.
Always keep your inner critic silent when you compose. You must actually experience the sentiment that’s being written. That means being in the right mood as you write.
Put on some romantic music when composing. Never concern yourself about corny writing, just record the words as they come.
2.) Try adding a few romantic love quotes. They tend to amplify the emotions of the love letter.
Quotations of love can readily be found on the Internet. Search for “romantic quotes” or “love quotations” on the Google or Yahoo search engines.
3.) Write your letter in another language. This method is over the top and is not required but it enhances the letter.
Try this if you speak a second language or if someone you know can translate. You can give your partner the translation or insist that he do the translation.
4.) A big part of love letters is in how you deliver it to the one you love. Any method involving surprise works best.
Put it inside his briefcase and surprise him at work. Another idea is to slip it in one of his pockets. With practice, you’ll discover that there are a multitude of ways that this can be done.
