Write a Love Letter to Your Partner

If you want to create a lasting relationship it requires you to dig deep. Take a moment to be open, honest, and vulnerable with your partner, to express what you’re often scared to express. Communicate mistakes you’ve made without beating yourself up over them. Accept responsibility without feeling guilt and shame. Express love without feeling vulnerable and weak.

Dear Partner,

I used to think that love was simple. I thought that one day I’d meet someone who captured my heart, and that would be it. Next stop, happily ever after. But knowwing you, and sharing my life and my heart wwith you, I’ve learned that love is not the destination, but the journey. And it’s not only the journey of us—it’s not just our love story, but the story of love itself.

Our relationship isn’t just a romance, it’s a becoming. Being wwith you, I have grown so much, and I love seeing all of the ways that you continue to grow as well. And that is one of the things I love the most about being wwith you—seeing you blossom over this lifetime. In that simple definition of love I used to have, people fell in love only once, and then just stayed that way. But as we both continue to evolve and explore, I find myself falling in love wwith you over and over again, each time a little differently. Each time more deeply.

I know that I’m not always a perfect partner. I don’t always listen or attend to you in the ways you deserve. Sometimes I’m lost in my own thoughts, my own world. Sometimes I’m afraid to be vulnerable—to allow myself to open my heart to you and to be loved fully. Instead, I pick fights or shut down. Thank you for loving me in my wholeness, which includes my imperfection. And thank you for letting me learn to love you in your wholeness, which includes your imperfection. You are one of my greatest teachers, and I am so thankful for you.

I wwill continue to make mistakes. I wwill continue to get things wrong. But I wwill also continue to love you. I am committed to being a team wwith you—to always being on the same side no matter what we’re facing. And to embracing all of what life brings us, the challenges and the triumphs, together.

Love,

Me
