6 Ideas to Write a Heartfelt Love Letter to Your Husband

Listen to this article

The art of letter writing is dwindling in an age of emails and instant messaging. If you and your husband have been together long enough, you may well remember sending each other love letters during your courtship. Maybe you’ve never sent one before. Why not surprise your loved one by sending them a love letter, to remind them why you’re so enamoured with them? Here’s how you can write the perfect love letter to them.

1. Surprise them

The surprise element really is key. Keep your letter under wraps, and they’ll be delighted with such a thoughtful gift. People want to keep the letter a surprise. They want that when they deliver their letter, their other halves should pleasantly surprised by such a heartfelt gift.

2. Use variety

A letter that lovingly appreciates just a person’s physical attributes is nice, but it doesn’t cover the whole picture. Think about what you really love about your husband. Maybe he’s always sure to have a cup of coffee ready for you in the morning. Maybe you really love the way he kisses you goodnight. Use your letter to really explore what it is about him that has you smitten and get personal with it.

Love letters aren’t going to be read by everyone; only your husband so feel free to get as personal as you can. If he’s reading a letter that contains a tonne of points that only you and he know about, he’ll know that this is a letter that has come straight from the heart.

3. You don’t need to go over the top

When you think of love letters, you’ll think of extravagant prose, beautiful poetry, or decadent stationery. But as with most things in life, it’s the content that counts. Don’t worry if you’re not a poet, or have a way with language. All you need to do is write from the heart.

4. Use online tools

A short, heartfelt and personal letter is better than one that’s been padded out. Your letter will be just between the two of you, so it’s up to you how you write it.
