Write Letters

Please tell me I'm not the only one that thinks of this when I think about letter writing:

(Yes, I know there isn't any mail on Sundays.)

Okay, but in all seriousness, letter writing is a great date!  Not only is it free, but I think it's really special.  When my husband and I first started dating, I would write him letters about once a week.  He didn't get these letters until after we were married, but he loved getting them and reading them.  I'm always excited about receiving a letter and that's why I think this date is perfect!

My husband and I still write notes and letters to each other and I keep every single one of them because it is a reminder to me of how much he loves me.  If you're feeling extra ambitious, you can actually send your letters to each other in the mail.

Relationship reconnection:  Include in your letters a paragraph (or the whole letter) where you write about how much you love and admire your significant other.  Not only does this make them feel extra good about themselves and loved, but it will strengthen that friendship upon which the relationship is built.  Those positive feelings can act as a buffer when tough times hit the marriage.  Your admiration and fondness of your spouse is a powerful thing.

Happy dating!
