A fantastic way to show your feelings as a long distance couple is by writing your significant other a love letter. But why write a love letter?
There are lots of reasons to send a love letter. Firstly, receiving something in the mail (that isn't junk mail) can be quite exciting, especially when they realise it's from you. Another reason is to give them a tangible object to remind your sweetheart of you while you are apart. Many couples have kept their letters and read them back when they are missing each other. These words of comfort can truly mean the world to your partner in a time of sorrow.
Writing A Love Letter
If you are a talented writer and completely in touch with your feelings, writing a romantic letter should come very easy to you. However if you're not that much of a romantic, here are some valuable suggestions.
Explain Why You Are Writing
The very first line should be telling them that it's a love note. It may scare your significant other to get a letter from you and may make them think that something is wrong with the courtship. Tell them straight away that you are missing them a great deal and wanted to tell them your feelings in a written format.
Make Points About What You Love About Them
It could be their physical appearance. Or it could be the things that they've done for you. Make a list of everything about your partner that makes you love them. Then expand these things into sentences and make a paragraph. You may take something along the lines of, "I love your smile" and change it to, "Your smile can brighten the darkest clouds and make you stand out in a crowd."
Express Your Thoughts About The Future
Be sure to add a few paragraphs expressing how your life has changed for the good since you started dating, and where you see the relationship taking you to in the future. Give your partner a pretty mental picture of what your life together will be like. This is sure to make them grow even fonder of you.
Reaffirm Your Commitment
Although they may already know it, you should tell them how much you are committed to the relationship. They will never get tired of hearing it. Be sure to end with "No matter how life treats us, I will never grow tired of you."
Sign and Date
Place your signature at the bottom and remember to date it at the top. By dating your letter it will be a great way to track them in the future.
