Last night Lori and I went to a service appreciation dinner for folks who volunteer at church. Various leaders were given a few minutes to spotlight and thank a few of those who work with them. There were a lot of happy tears and smiles, and we were all encouraged.
Why not do this for your wife? Most women can’t get enough heartfelt expressions of love and appreciation from their husbands. A great way to do this is to write a love letter. This gives you the chance to get it just right and it allows her to read it repeatedly.
A love letter isn’t about what you hope for in the future or things you want her to do or change. A love letter is about her, how you love her, and why. It tells her she is wonderful and shows her why that is so. It’s a mirror for her best self, letting her see things about herself she downplays or doesn’t see at all. It tells her how much you enjoy being with her and how you look forward to many more years with her. A love letter might mention how great she is in bed, but only if sex isn’t a problem area for the two of you.
You have a few days till Christmas, so get with it. Make some notes first, over the course of a day. Organise the notes and do a rough draft. It should be a single page, two at the most, and not in microscopic print. Go over it several times, letting it stew in your mind between edits. When you have it just the way you want it, print it out on nice paper using a special font. Or do it by hand if you have legible handwriting. Leave it on her pillow or tuck it somewhere she will find it. Be sure she’ll have time to read it when she finds it.
