You
want to tell your partner how you feel about them but you end up
staring at a blank screen for so long you give up. Or you try a few
lines only to delete them all and start over. Again. Why is it so hard
to tell the loved one in our life exactly what they mean to us? Do you
struggle to find the words to properly convey how you feel? Or is it
that you just can’t explain it? Don’t let words get in the way of
telling your loved one how much they mean to you.
Everyone
wants to be loved. When you are busy living life, there never seems
time to slow down and really savour that central relationship that makes
it all worthwhile. Oftentimes we think that those closest to us know
exactly how we feel about them and how important they are to us. But
the sad reality is that often they don’t.
So how can you write a
love letter that you will feel proud to give and one that your loved
one will cherish for all time? Where do you start? Follow these easy
tips below and you’ll be on your way in no time.
1. First
write down 5 things that you love about your partner and be as specific
as possible. Rather than writing that they are kind, instead be
detailed about how they are kind. Perhaps they always smile at waiters
in restaurants or they are great at making people feel included,
especially at parties.
2. Write down 5 things that they have
done that confirms how much you love them and again, give examples.
Perhaps they enveloped you in a hug last night when you were feeling
frustrated about your family. Or maybe they knew how disappointed you
were when you missed out on that promotion and they cooked a special
meal to cheer you up.
3. Pick the best three examples from
each of the above categories and weave them into your letter. You could
start by saying ‘I love how you…’ and then include the three examples
from the first point. Then you could say something like ‘I loved the
way you…’ and then mention the other examples. Make sure you emphasise
how their actions made you feel, how loved you felt and how grateful you
are to have them in your life.
4. It is best to write up a
draft first and then go over it to see if you can improve it. Sometimes
it helps to write up what you want to say, edit it until it flows well
and then leave it for a day or two before going back for a final edit
and polish.
5. Buy some special paper and write out your
letter. Don’t worry if your handwriting isn’t perfect – it’s distinctly
yours and your loved one will appreciate the time and effort you put
into the letter. If you feel your writing is so bad it will be
difficult to read or if your illegible handwriting is something you’ve
argued about before then pay to get it hand written by a professional.
At a stretch you could use a more romantic font on your computer, say
Garamond in italic, but you should really only do that as a last
resort. The more personal you can make your letter the more your loved
one will treasure it.
6. Think about how you plan on
delivering this letter to them. Will you slip it in their briefcase?
Mail it? Leave it under the pillow? Do you want to be there when they
open it? If you want to see their reaction, then it is best to hand it
to them. You could team the letter up with a small gift like flowers or
chocolate but make sure the gift doesn’t diminish the letter as you
want that to be the main focus.
If a birthday or anniversary or other special occasion is involved you’ll want to include mention of that too.
