I like writing letters that sound like a fairytalelove story. Start it off with “Once upon a time…” and write memorable moments. Spin a story about your life together. And don't forget to mention the funny moments you've shared.

Don't forget to mention what qualities you like about them andwhat attracts you to them. If you like the way she winked at you while dancing, tell her. If you like the way he looks at you, tell him it makes your heart melt. And don't forget to use nicknames. If she is into dancing, you can call her Shakira. If she loves clothes and shoes, call her your little diva. If he loves stand up comedy, call him your personal clown....you get the drift.

Humor

Believe it or not, you can put some humor in here. Yes, a humorous love letter. Remember there is difference between humor and sarcasm. You can write a funny love letter but do not overdo it. Personally, I think a funny love letter trumps a romantic one if done well. Afterall, laughter is one of the most important aspects of a relationship.

It is important that you write this in your own handwriting on a sheet of paper that you have sprayed with aseductive perfume. This is better than sending a message to his phone or typing it out on a computer. And it's okay if your handwriting isn't the best.

Ambience

While you are writing the love letter, it is important to have a romantic ambience. Sit in a secluded spot and put on some romantic music. Do it in a quiet room where the lights are dim. This will stimulate that romantic mood. Do the same when you actually give him/her the letter and they will fall in love with youall over again.

I am married but from time to time, I love writing love letters to my husband. Each one of them is different and unique in its own little way. Your guy may not be the mushy, mushy type, but I am sure he would love to read about the magical moments you hold the most dearest. What is your favorite tip?
