Not only is February host to Valentine\u2019s Day, but it\u2019s also known as the month of love.<\/p>\n
What better time to write a love letter to someone you hold dear?<\/p>\n
Us humans have a preoccupation with the pursuit of love, and it\u2019s easy to understand why.<\/p>\n
Firstly, on a basic level, it feels great to love and be loved.<\/p>\n
If that\u2019s not enough of a reason by itself, recent studies have found that love can relieve pain<\/a> in adults and reduce stress in women<\/a>.<\/p>\n So, let\u2019s celebrate love together this month.<\/p>\n Learn how to light up someone\u2019s heart with your words by diving into our love letter ideas and examples.<\/p>\n Whether you\u2019re writing to your wife, husband, girlfriend, boyfriend, or partner, get those pens ready now!<\/a><\/p>\n A handwritten love letter is special because it\u2019s personal and unique to your relationship, so there\u2019s no one-size-fits-all approach to writing one.<\/p>\n Unfortunately, we can\u2019t tell you precisely what to write in your letter.<\/p>\n However, we have some great suggestions of points it would be beneficial to include, encouraging openness and intimacy between you.<\/p>\n Before you get started, though, make sure to choose some appropriate stationery<\/a>. That could be some writing paper, a blank greetings card<\/a>, or anything you can write on.<\/p>\n A good quality pen<\/a> will help you concentrate on the task, too.<\/p>\n Make sure the letter is written in your authentic voice.<\/p>\n It can be tempting to test out fancy language you wouldn\u2019t usually use when writing a love letter, but your loved one will appreciate the real you more.<\/p>\n Before putting pen to paper, take a moment to think about how you want the letter\u2019s recipient to feel when they read it.<\/p>\n Keep that feeling in mind as you write.<\/p>\n Don\u2019t be tempted to open your letter with \u201cDear Charlotte\u201d if you call your girlfriend Lottie, or you\u2019re more likely to say \u201cHey bae\u201d when talking.<\/p>\n Be yourself, and the recipient will feel instantly connected with your words.<\/p>\n You don\u2019t have to include a reason for writing the love letter, but there may be a reason you feel motivated to share your feelings on paper.<\/p>\n Including an explanation can be a helpful tool for you to get the first paragraph written, too \u2014 often the most challenging paragraph.<\/p>\n You might be writing because it\u2019s Valentine\u2019s Day, and you feel your partner deserves more than a shop-bought card.<\/p>\n Alternatively, you might feel inspired by how they recently dealt with a difficult situation.<\/p>\n Your love letter should include the reasons you love the recipient.<\/p>\n Don\u2019t hold back! Include the big reasons \u2014 their kind heart, for example, or their sense of humour \u2014 and the small ones.<\/p>\n We all want to feel seen, so use this opportunity to make your partner feel valued and understood. Comment on those little things they do each day that you appreciate.<\/p>\n For example, do they make your coffee each morning before work? Perhaps they keep on top of the laundry pile or drive your kids to all their after-school clubs and activities.<\/p>\n Whether your partner has a hangup about their eyebrows or their accent, they will be so thankful for you expressing your love for their self-perceived flaws.<\/p>\n Don\u2019t just say you love their accent \u2014 tell them why and how it makes you feel.<\/p>\n If it\u2019s your thing as a couple, slip some heat in your letter \u2014 whether it\u2019s hinting at what\u2019s in store that evening or if it\u2019s sharing what you love most about your partner\u2019s body.<\/p>\n It may seem counterproductive to bring up tough times in a love letter, but highlighting how you successfully navigated through hardship shows how well you work together as a team.<\/p>\n Reflect on your successes to build your bond.<\/p>\n Nothing says \u201cI love you\u201d more than a reminder of your commitment to the other person.<\/p>\n If you know they want children one day, take this opportunity to let them know they\u2019ll be great mum or dad to your children. Make sure to explain why.<\/p>\n You might be saving up for a deposit on a house. Tell them why you are excited to own a home with them, if so.<\/p>\n Sometimes it can help to see an example love letter, even though you won\u2019t be copying it word-for-word.<\/p>\n These examples are written using the tips we\u2019ve shared with you.<\/p>\n \u201cDearest Flo,<\/p>\n I\u2019m writing this today because how you helped the older man in the supermarket got me thinking about how much I adore you.<\/p>\n You are so kind and generous and would do anything for anyone. I\u2019m so in love with your big heart.<\/p>\n Thank you for always thinking of me in everything you do, too. I appreciate the packed lunches \u2014 and the little notes in them even more so!<\/p>\n Last summer was gruelling with us being apart for so long, but we got through it and could do it again if we needed to.<\/p>\n I would endure anything if it meant I could see your beautiful smile every day afterwards.<\/p>\n I can\u2019t wait to spend forever with you. I will love you always.<\/p>\n Your Will xxx\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cMy Bear,<\/p>\n Happy Valentine\u2019s Day!<\/p>\n I didn\u2019t want to send you another generic card this year. You deserve so much more.<\/p>\n I am forever thankful I went to the pub that night five years ago to drown my sorrows. I may have lost a lot of money that day, but I gained something far more precious.<\/p>\n You are one in a billion, making me laugh so much with your cheeky sense of humour. You even made carpet shopping fun last month \u2014 a real achievement!<\/p>\n I also appreciate your serious moments, especially when it comes to caring for the girls.<\/p>\n Please know I am so grateful for your incredible parenting, and I couldn\u2019t have gotten through Elsie\u2019s stay in hospital without you by my side.<\/p>\n I\u2019ve been thinking a lot about our first kiss lately. Fancy re-enacting it tonight? I booked a babysitter for 7:30 pm and a table for 8.<\/p>\n I might even invite you in for coffee afterwards. You\u2019ll have to make it yourself, though, because, according to my husband, I can\u2019t make a decent cuppa!<\/p>\n I can\u2019t wait to parent another child with you, Daddy Bear.<\/p>\n All my love and kisses,<\/p>\n Wren X\u201c<\/p>\n You can give your love letter in person or post it through the mail<\/a>. Either way, place it in an envelope for extra suspense.<\/p>\n Go the extra mile and finish it off with a traditional wax seal<\/a>.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n If writing a love letter isn\u2019t your thing, you\u2019ll find some great tips for writing a Valentine\u2019s Day card<\/a> on our blog.<\/p>\nTips for writing a love letter<\/h2>\n
