When was the last time you wrote a love letter to your spouse or partner?
I'm hearing crickets out there. A blank silence.
If you can't remember the last love letter you wrote, or if you've never hand-written a love letter (with an actual pen and paper), it's not surprising.
In this era of instant communication, an old-fashioned love letter might seem archaic and inefficient.
Why cramp your fingers writing a letter when you can strengthen your thumbs with a quick text? “ILY, babe. UR awesome. (Heart emoji, smiling cat face emoji).”
Nothing expresses your heartfelt devotion like an electronic message, right?
Sarcasm aside, writing a love letter to your beloved the old-fashioned way — with a pen, in longhand, on a piece of stationery — is one of the most loving gestures you can offer.
