Who says married people can no longer write love letters?� Love letters are a wonderful way to express your faithful devotion to your spouse or rekindle those flames of romance that are sometimes neglected as husbands and wives.� Here are a few tips adapted from Michelle Lovric's How to Write Love Letters on writing the perfect love letter.

1.� Write your letter with your own hand.� It not only shows how genuine you are, but the effort you have made in writing it.� Make you signature memorable as it is a symbol of who you are.� Write neatly and elegantly.

2.��� Use good quality paper, like plain ivory vellum.� Avoid paper that is decorated to the point of being hard to read the actual letter.

3.���� A fountain pen has a certain romantic quality about it.� But in the least, stick with using a clear black pen to write with.

4.���� Before writing your letter, make sure you are clear in your own mind about the purpose of the letter.� Is it to celebrate your marital bliss?� Mend an argument?� Reminisce about your life together?

5.���� Be specific in your writing about what you appreciate about your spouse.� A specific description about what attributes (physical or personal) you adore or admire�will garner greater response than a general statement about your spouse's character.� For example, "I love the way you glance at me across the room when we are in company" is more descriptive and personal than "You are very considerate of me."� Your spouse will respond to the intimate details that you have lovingly observed.

6.���� Try not to pursue the trivial in your love letter.� Make your letter something that your spouse will want to keep forever, a memento of love and passion, undiluted by trivia or mundane technicalities.

7.���� Write in a conversational style that is true to yourself.� Try also to use proper grammar without being stiff.� Individuality is the greatest delight of a letter.� The most cherished letters are those in which the writer's soul has been poured out on paper.� Write a letter that no one but you could have written.�

8.���� Avoid copious underlining and capitals.� IT LOOKS LIKE SHOUTING!!!�

9.���� By all means be witty in your letters, but avoid irony and teasing.�

10.���� Write from the heart.� Using quotes or lines of poetry written by another can be appropriate, but the bulk of the letter should be your own.

Now here are a few creative ways to send your love letter.

1.���� Scent it with your favorite perfume.

2.���� Give your love a taped collection of romantic songs labelled "Thoughts of You."� (From Romantic Notions by Lisa Tawn Bergren)

3.�����Write your spouse a love note in lipstick or soap on the bathroom mirror.

4.����� Write your love letter in indelible ink- in a tiny envelope- planted inside an ice-cube in a drink.

5.����� Make a collage using pictures and mementos for your spouse.

6.����� Write your love notes in a series of rolled tiny notes and tucked into closed tulips or roses.� As the flowers open, the notes will appear.� (Above four ideas from How to Write Love Letters by Michelle Lovric)

7.���������Send your spouse a letter at the office disguised as an important business letter.�
