Love Letters, Whether You Call It a Flirt, Romance or Dating, They Can Work For You
Love letters are intended to express your innermost feelings for another person. Often expressing thoughts and feelings from the heart that may be hard to express in person, face to face. Can it be said that love and romance can ever be complete without love letters? I think not. For love requires communication. It demands the expression of one's heart in both action and word. I've heard it said that the greatest of all love letters is the Bible, which was brought forth to express the greatest love that could ever be, the love of God toward us of His creation.
Was the need to communicate love the reason behind Valentines Day?
Perhaps this is exactly why the The celebration of Valentines Day was started in 496 AD with the exchange of love letters between couples. Since that time the exchange of love notes and letters has voluntarily flowed from the hearts of countless friends and lovers who have understood the need to express their heart's feelings. Could it not be said that this very tradition supports the idea that there is no greater force than Love? I think so. The Scripture it's self testifies of this in 1 Corinthians 13:13, where it says. And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three: but the greatest of these is Charity. (love) Valentines Day is celebrated in many different ways in many different places. It is interesting to note that Valentines Day marks the biggest shopping day of the year, when it comes to chocolate and flowers. On the occasion of Valentines Day, or on any ordinary day, a love letter written by your sweetheart can definitely overwhelm you.
Love letters can be tools in your relationship
Couples have testified that over the years their writing of love letters and notes to each other enhanced their relationship, sometimes even dramatically. But it is apparent that others, although understanding the power of love communications allow their insecurities about their own writing ability to stop them from taking action. These need to be told that there are services available that will provide for them the basic structure of love letters, notes, and poems. Companies that offer the basic format, and the individual needing simply to, so to speak, feel in the blanks. Perhaps it should be suggested to those who think it is to “impersonal” to just fill in the blanks that the next time they give flowers or a personal gift to their spouse or a friend, that they make sure they plant and grow their own flowers, and manufacture their very own gift, if in truth that is what it takes to make it entirely personal, and a token from one's own heart.
Love letters can be bland, or very decorative and scented, anything is better than nothing
Love letters are usually a little more presentational than normal letters. Love letters are usually written in ink, but if your handwriting is especially horrible you can always choose a beautiful or unusual font from the writing program on your computer and/or print the letter out on designer paper. Traditionally love letters were also scented with the user's perfume. Scented love letters we generally relate to a particular scent associated with the person. I know I've received them adorned in flowers, others in colored print, yet still others in plain print and plain block letters. Yes, the decorative and dramatic, or the silly and playful are fun and good, but simple and plain is all the world better than nothing at all. Each is fine in my book, but no letter, no sentiment, no communication, that is unthinkable! For if we do not know, than we should be told, that open hatred is better than secret love.
