The skill, or perhaps art, of how to write romantic love letters is at risk of falling by the wayside. In our high tech world, many people choose to communicate electronically, and while we do still take the time to write romantic emails, these may not last as long thanks to computer crashes and hard-disk restores.

For historians the fact that it was common practice in past times to write love letters to objects of affection is well appreciated today. Much of what we have learned about day to day life of times gone by has come from this, especially as love notes are often cherished possessions that are kept for years, and perhaps even after the love has died the letters can remain.

Keep this in mind when you begin to write love letters. Use good quality paper and envelopes, and a pen that will not fade or smudge, and your letters should stand up to being folded and unfolded and reread throughout the years.

Unlike those love notes that are written on high quality paper, those that are scribbled on a napkin or written in lipstick on a mirror will not last forever. However, these spontaneous expressions of love will show your loved one that you are still thinking of them. They are spur of the moment decisions, and you may not always have the most ideal material on hand to convey your emotions.

When you write love letters, take your time and don’t rush. The time you spend means as much as the letter itself or the sentiments inside. Be specific. Mention things your partner may not know you care about, such as the way he holds his cup, or the way she touches her hair. Think each sentence over carefully before you write it down.

It is always good idea to keep the love letters safely if you are one of those lucky ones to receive them. Even if the love doesn’t last, it is wise to keep them somewhere until your heart is healed. Twenty years from now, they will help you to remember those old sweet days.

A well written love letter will be kept for years, decades or more, passed on as family heirlooms. More importantly, they will bring joy to your love right now, and in todays ever faster moving world, a love letter is an unexpected gift.

Writing love letters is almost a lost art due to technology. Throughout history people have written letters and others have treasured those letters. To write love letters you should take the time to think about what you want to say and use quality materials that will last. That’s not to say that spontaneity doesn’t have its place. To write romantic love letters all you may need is lipstick on a mirror or the back of a napkin. And it is possible to write romantic emails if one chooses to do so. Despite how you may choose to write them, love letters are always to be cherished.
