Why write love letters…
As I think about the man that I have been blessed with, I think about how much I can write to him about him. I can easily write a lengthy love letter of how much he has loved me, blessed me, and has grown with me in our marriage. With my love I can easily write a hopeless romantic letter to him.
Giving God all the Glory…
I do believe the Lord wants us to write love letters to our husbands. When we write to our husbands about the godly man we are blessed with, we are giving God all the Glory. No man can be a godly man without God.
Just as Paul wrote to the Corinthians; what they are described in the letters of how they serve God, they are just as in person.
Let such a person consider this, that what we are in word by letters when absent, such persons we are also in deed when present. 2 Corinthians 2:11
Would your letters be of what your husband truly is? Would your letter be of how Gods see him or how you see him?
A true love letter must have the main component; true love!
We have to remember that we would not know what true love is without God.
When we have God, we have peace in marriage, we have communication, we have determination to do Gods will which is a powerful tool for a marriage.
If we are writing love letters with our own thoughts and fleshly love to our spouse then we are not writing about or with the true love God gave us in the marriage.
God is Love….

5 Things I pray for myself to become a better wife.
When I write my husband a love letter I hope to give truth, the Word of God, prayers for his righteousness and grace. I hope to write how God sees him because how God sees him is how I should strive to see him each and everyday.
With Mercy and Grace, I want the writing of my hand to be led by the holy spirit.
I want my letter to him to be encouraging and to build him up enough to recognize his gifts in ministry.
When my hand writes; “You are a man of integrity”, I pray my husbands head is lifted up with humbleness.
When he reads the words that I love when he raises his hands to the Lord, I hope that he feels a victorious strength within him.
I want my love letters to describe the love I see in him for God. Praise God. Embrace God. Love God. If he’s not doing all this then he probably wouldn’t have been the man that I feel in love with.
I need to remind myself of that so that my love doesn’t become a selfish love. But that it continues to be a love that ignited inside of me because the Lord lit it.
Give Thanks to the Lord for He is good and His love endures forever!
1 Chronicles 16:34
When I married Anthony I thanked God for giving me a man that I prayed for. Everything I do I strive to give thanks to God for all that is within my marriage (during the good and the bad).
God gives us the insight that we need for our marriage today. He gave us loved ones around us to pray and encourage our marriage; to speak life into our marriage. God has repeatedly shown Himself to us and has to built us up in our love for one another.
Knowing all the investment that has been put in us for a Christ like marriage, it is our responsibility to continue speaking life by reminding our spouse who we are in Christ and what love truly is in a Christian based marriage.
Write your husband a love letter of how you think God sees him. Remind him of words that has been spoken over you marriage that once encouraged you both. Write an encouraging prayer to your husband about a specific area in your husbands life. Write about a specific trait/action that you love about your husband as he serves the Lord.
I once wrote to my husband that I loved most about him was that every Sunday when we walk into church, he will grab two tissues and stuff them into his pocket. He prepares himself for crying before the Lord. That is a strength in my husband that I admire and reminds me of how much he looks forward to seeking God.
I look forward to hearing about what it did for you and your husband by writing this kind of love letter.
this is really going to help me as an introvert thank you so much….
I love this idea. My husband made mention a while ago of something that really touched him and it was a father who had written his son a letter every week for his entire 18 years, expressing his love, encouragement and admiration of his son, even though he had been there to raise him through all 18 years. He gave all the letter to him as a gift on his 18th birthday. I was always surprised at what a touching reaction my husband had to this and made a mental note to do the same for him (from me)…maybe write him more love letters. But life has gotten in the way….Your post is giving me that boost! Thanks. =)
What a sweet story and a powerful revelation that you got to learn about what speaks to your husbands heart. Writing to him can defintieley spark a intimate level for you both. I truly hope you start a journal, post it notes on the mirrors in the mornings, or hand written letters on special occasions to him. After hearing the story, I truly do think it would give him a boost of confidence!
Love this blog. The scripture is 2 Corinthians 10:11
So glad you enjoy the blog!! That brings joy to me. Love the scripture you left. That is a very good one to stand on for marriage and in anything else for our lives.
I love this post as well. I have been writing letter to my future husband in my journal. I think I met him and I thank God. I wait and continue to write until he finds me by asking me to be his best friend, fiance and wife. Amen
Love that you are writing to your future husband now! That is a awesome idea! It will bless both of you later in your marriage more than you know. I’m sure its also blessing you now to be able to write words of affirmation to him! Blessings!
I love this post! Will definitely be paying more attention to doing this. In this age of technology, we forget the art and joy of hand writing a letter to those we love and care for. It is also more treasured for those who receive them as well.
I completely agree with you about the art and joy of hand writing a letter. I love getting a note pad or journal and writing to my loved ones! Many blessings to you Z! Thank you for your comment!
