Writing a Letter to Your Wife
By Steven D. Mikel • January 1, 2023
One of the most meaningful tasks we can do as married men is to take a moment and write a letter to our wife. You single guys, if you are not doing this as you date, you should, and then don't stop once you are husband and wife!
Pick any subject, it could be about anything. Need some ideas? Check out some sample letters.
Grab a sheet of paper, a pen or pencil, an envelope, and yes... a stamp. Then imagine being deployed overseas, or away on a work trip before technology made it "simple" (maybe too simple) to make contact. Back in the "old days" relationships were maintained by handwritten notes and letters delivered by postal services or even family members traveling west.
Sit down and write a few heartfelt lines, doodle some if you wish such as hearts, googly eyes, or maybe some key phrases that mean something to you both. Then, date it, sign it, and for extra bonus points spritz it with your cologne (the one she likes, but not too much. Just one shot from about 6 inches away from the paper.) Fold the letter, place it in the envelope and address it to her at your address. For the return address, just use the "to" address but perhaps don't include your name. Place the stamp and mail it.
Trust me, this small amount of effort will communicate value and the fact that "she" was on your mind and will yield incredibly positive results.
