When I was as young as 18 or 19, I got the most incredible love letters; boy, could he write!

We were young and innocent, but he expressed how he felt, and my heart melted! Do you remember what young love felt like? Think back to that time in life, how you got butterflies when he called. Maybe you felt that way when you were first married, and hopefully, you still feel that way, because of all the things you have gone through together.

Express how you feel and tell him that you still adore him; remind his how special he is and how special he makes you feel. In other words, pour your heart out! Be specific as to how he has "rocked your world" and helped to create a life that is rich in love, in memories, and in good times. Remind him that you are blessed that he has chosen you to be in his future, but at the same time, emphasize that you hope he feels the same way; afterall, there is no dress rehearsal, because we all get one chance in life. How important you must be to each other to enjoy life as a couple, and perhaps as a family!

Recall, using your senses, all the things that perhaps only you would know. You might even say, "as much as I love to get ready for our husband-wife 'date' alone, and appear the way I did, when you rang my doorbell so many years ago, I love watching you, as you put on that aftershave or stand in the mirror fixing your tie"! He might even like watching you watch him, as he is in front of the mirror, and could even find it exciting! He will love it too, when you leave a little love note on the bathroom mirror, that he will see, when he goes in to shave in the morning!

Show passion in your relationship and in your letters. Remember, as much as they are personal, never put anything down on paper that if someone else read them, you would be mortified! You can be intimate on paper, without being sexually explicit! Your intimacy also includes simple things like his touch, as he maybe rubbed your back or your hair, or hugged and held you. It might even be a gentle kiss, which you could remind him about, or time without the kids. The anticipation alone might capture his heart (and make him come home a little earlier than usual!)

Remember, just as you want him to be the man, so, too, he wants to be caught up in your teasing, your feminine ways and wiles. Be tastefully seductive; have a little class! Hopefully, the days of feminine mystery are still alive in your house!

Some express themselves in words on paper, better that verbally to someone's face, and although you should say how you feel, a true love letter is a real relationship enhancer! Keep it personal and make it fun! Don't forget the caligraphy or special fountain pen, and by all mean write neater than you would a grocery list. Unfortunately, gone are the days where people considered letters and art, but you can recreate letter writing as what is yet to be for the evening and fuss over him, by being truthful, yet mysterious, while creating an atmosphere of curiosity arousal! Remember girls, leave a few things out!
