Four Tips For Crafting The Perfect Love Letter

By Marc Sandford

Nothing adds more spice to a relationship than saying I love you in ways that are unique. Surprising him with a love letter is one of the best ways to go about this.

If love letters aren't a part of your routine, then a surprise, first time ever love letter will have a great impact. A letter written by your hand will win him over.

Some useful suggestions for using the written word to express your feelings.

1.) Your letter should be composed in two separate steps. 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.

During the composition stage let the words flow out from within you. Whenever you're conversing with someone, you don't stop to formulate your sentences, the words just flow from your lips. This is the approach you should take when you are composing the letter.

Imagine the two of you are together in some romantic setting and you are expressing your feelings. Write everything you say.

The inner critic within should be muted when writing the first draft. Make sure that you are actually feeling the sentiment that's being written. Having the right emotional state is essential when you write your love letter.

Put on some romantic music when composing. Never concern yourself about corny writing, just record the words as they come.

2.) Include some well known love quotations. Placed in the right spot, it will add beauty to the emotions of the love letter.

Romantic quotes are just a few keystrokes away on the Internet. Simply enter "love quotes" or "love quotations" into a search engine.

3.) Compose the letter in another language. This is an advanced technique and is not required but it enhances the letter.

Do this if you have a trusted friend to do the translating. You can either give the translation to your partner or insist that he translates the letter himself.

4.) A big part of love letters is in how you deliver it to the one you love. Any method involving surprise works best.

Hide the letter in his briefcase so that he discovers it at work. You can also place it into one of his pockets. There are endless variations to this.
