1. Open with their pet name

Start your love message by using your partner’s pet name (don’t worry, we’ve all got one).  The more original the better, but there’s nothing wrong with a classic ‘dear darling’ or ‘sweetheart’, if you’ve not found their special nickname yet! Your love message could start a little something like this:

• To my darling…
• Dearest love muffin…
• Sweetest [Name]…
• To my super husband/wife/fiancé…

2. Explain why you’re writing

Is it a special day? Or are you simply sending a love message to tell someone how much they mean to you? Whichever it is, make sure you tell them!:

• Happy Valentine’s Day!
• I just wanted to tell you that…
• Thank you for…

3. Tell them why you love them

You’ve won them over with a sweet intro, now it’s time to seal the deal. Search your heart, and start writing down all those special qualities that make you love this person so much.

• You make me feel like [the luckiest man/the most beautiful woman] in the whole world.
• You are an incredible [husband/wife/father/mother/boyfriend/girlfriend].
• You have a lovely peachy bottom!
• You make life an adventure.

4. End your message with a declaration of love

This could be:

• All my love always…
• Forever yours…
• You’re my everything, and I’ll love you forever…
• Big kiss…
