Who wouldn’t get excited to find a love letter waiting for them at the beginning of a day? Whether you are male or female your lover will appreciate your words and thoughts on paper.  Ever since the Internet boom, receiving a hand written love letter has become a thing of the past.  It seems today that the only remaining remnant of the love letter of days gone by...would be the advent of "texting."  The sound of that "ping" coming from our iphones now brings those feelings of anticipation and the excitement of hearing from our lovers! No more – pick up a pen and paper and write your significant other /lover  a letter that will make them swoon and remind them why it is that you love them.

Having a hard time getting started? Here are my 4 steps to writing a perfect love letter for your sweetheart.

To Whom It May Concern: Getting started can be different, so focus on the tone that you want to set for the entire letter and make that shine in the beginning of your letter.  Start out by addressing the letter to your “Dearest” or “Beloved” and make sure to date the letter, so she can look back on the memory and remember when it happened.  

The Opening: Start the letter by telling your love the reasons that you have for writing the letter. This is a good time to describe why you fell in love in the first place. You can also list the ways that your life has changed for the better since meeting this person, how you feel when you are apart or how wonderful this person makes you feel everyday.

The Body: Use the body of the letter to include fond memories that the two of you have shared together or take the time to list the wonderful qualities that made you fall in love with this person in the beginning. This is also the perfect place to simple say how this person makes you feel and how you can't imagine living without them.

The Closing and a Surprise: When closing your letter, use something romantic, such as; ‘All my love’ or ‘Yours Forever’ and then add a little something special in the envelope as well. Whether it that fantastic Polaroid of the two of you together last weekend or a little trinket that you found that reminded you of your love - it’s that little something extra that really shows that you took the time to write the love letter just for your special someone.

Have you heard the story of Lynn France, who found out about her husband's surprise second wedding that she found about via Facebook? No, ok - you will want to sit down for this one.

Lynn France is a mother of three from Cleveland who sat down to her computer one day, logged into Facebook and was shocked to find over 200 pictures of her husband, John walking down the aisle at Disney World marrying another woman.

Now comes the shocking part - she took him back when he decided he wanted to stay with Lynn and annul his marriage with the Disney princess. Then on May 21st, John took the couple's two sons and headed back to Florida to live with his other wife.

Now, Lynn is left behind to watch her husband and his other wife, live her life online with her children.

Do you think that Lynn should have taken her husband back in the first place?

What do you think his other wife is thinking?

How do you think this will affect the lives of the children involved?

Chemistry can be a good and bad thing. Chemistry is good when you make love with it. Chemistry is bad when you make crack with it.   -Adam Sandler

What is this thing called chemistry? There are many naysayers out there that don’t believe in love at first sight. However, for those  of you that had the chance to watch the Bachelorette this season ( I only caught the last episode) it should have been  immediately obvious that Ali would choose Roberto. Her body language clearly evidenced her interest in the man, leaning in as she spoke to him, looking into his eyes as they spoke, and the excitement and energy they exhibited together as a couple.  As readily proclaimed  in the finale of The Bachelorette, chemistry is alive and well.

Ali, this season’s bachelorette stated when interviewed; that after all was said and done ...although she initially didn’t believe in love at first sight, her final choice Roberto  was the one that she gave the first impression rose to at the beginning of the series.

I'd love to hear your thoughts on these issues~

 If you don’t feel chemistry in the beginning, should you still date the person anyway hoping that chemistry will develop later on?

On the other hand, if the chemistry is really hot in the beginning and when you kiss your date goodnight you feel dizzy, does that mean this is the perfect person for you?

What if you have known someone for 5 years and you are pretty sure it is more than friendship, however nothing intimate has come from it. Do you make the first move?
