Jason Wright, author of “Christmas Jars” and “The Wednesday Letters” shares his advice for writing a love letter that will change your relationship.
________________________________________________________________
In his new book “The Wednesday Letters” Jason Wright introduces Jack and Laurel, married for 39 years, and the owners of a B&B in rural Virginia. With unexpected tragedy, both die on the same night, Laurel cradled in Jack’s arms as he lovingly scribbles his last “Wednesday letter”. When their adult children arrive to arrange the funeral, they discover boxes and boxes full of letters their father wrote to their mother, every Wednesday of their marriage. As they begin to open and read the letters, the children uncover the shocking truth about their past.
Three tips for writing a love letter:
1. Ditch the computer. Nothing says “I love you” like a handwritten letter. It means you took the time to stop and think of them in an unusual way.
2. Bear it all. Don’t stop to think! You’ll write words you never knew were inside you.
3. Do it again. The first one is just the beginning. Like anything else you get better the more you write. It’s a habit that will change your relationship.
How to get started:
1. Write a “list letter”: Make a list of your loved one’s qualities and continue to add to it as new items come to mind.
2. Write a “recap letter”: Take a recent date, an anniversary or a vacation and recap in detail in a letter. What did you do? Where did you go? What will you most remember years from now?
