She never tires of it, and I will continue to compose those syupy sweet notes. So get yourself some nice stationary gentlemen, and lay it on thick, with numerous pronouncements of ooey-gooey deliciousness. The ladies love it, and the fringe benefits aren't bad either.

He is already a wonderful and caring man, and this is really making me love him more to see him to interested in improving himself. He writes me sweet cards all the time and always tells me he loves me. I guess I am very lucky and blessed. I am very lucky because my fiance is doing this “30 Days to a Better Man” blog.

My letters to my wife have been getting kind of dry and repetitive. The ideas you suggest should improve the letter-writing tremendously. Recalling memories especially should be helpful because I'm not normally very active about doing that with her, so I think doing that in a letter will mean a lot to her. Thanks for the post!

Love letters are very direct and potent ways of getting to the female heart. This is a great breakdown and tutorial in a masculine way of how to write a love letter. Hats off to you !!!

I agree with Dan on the privacy of the letters, the few emails my husband wrote me were for my eyes only and so they remain. Couldn't agree more on the "We feel that our love for someone is manifestly obvious" stance by men, and that we women just don't take it that way. I've written love letters and even one erotic letter (gulp! yeah, I did that) and it broke my heart to see my husband destroy them on the reasoning that he had already read them. (I don't take it personally - he also destroys Christmas and Birthday cards after the event, and he's had more than one irate word from yours truly after getting through my old mail). While I wish he would express himself in more elaborate ways (this is, through letters or presents), it is also true that he wishes I'd said "I love you" as often as he does, and that he reads my mood through my actions and hopes me to do the same (the house is a dirty mess = there's something wrong going on / the house shines, the food is good, I'm feeling very crafty = everything is fine). Communication in the sense of "fine tunning" is one of the biggest challenges of domestic partnership. Patience, respect and of course love, are the tools to get the tunning done. Don't you think so?
