Valentine's Day gift: a love letter ❤️
A Valentine's Day gift: a love letter for your other half
At birth, a baby is filled with gifts. What if the parents were also preparing a surprise for each other? We often think of the famous piece of jewelry offered by the spouse to the mother. Nine months of pregnancy, childbirth and postpartum are worth a thousand times a ring... But there is another precious gift to give yourself as a couple: a love letter.
The birth of a child is a moment rich in emotion and fatigue. It is possible to be on top of your skin from the maternity stage. The first few months and the postpartum period can also be difficult. When you're trying to find a new balance and all of your love is for a baby, it's easy to forget how you feel about each other as a couple.
It is precisely during these first months that parents need to be united in order to better overcome difficulties. Our advice for remembering your complicity? Write a love letter to your partner and give it to them before giving birth.
Some ideas for your love letter
No need to have Victor Hugo's pen or to master Bescherelle like the back of your hand. All you need is a pen or even a note on your phone. The idea of this letter is to write something personal with your words, your own language.
Take paper or write down your notes, having a real piece of paper is important. This letter shows that you have devoted time to each other.
Embark the other person in a great story, yours. Remember the first time you met, your first impressions. Your first date, your first “I love you” and your desire to build a family together, the moment when you told yourself that the other would be a great parent. You could talk about the projects mentioned together, important moments such as the discovery of pregnancy, the choice of the first name...
List the physical and moral qualities of your partner, do not be stingy with compliments! Objective: release of oxytocin and happy crying in the cottages.
Finally, explain what you would like to say to your partner in the event of a major blow. Whether you will be there for him or her, that together, you will find solutions... or not! And that's okay, because at worst, you build memories together, you get laughs and a few wrinkles in the process.
SOS Love Letter
In case of a hard blow, pull out your letter (and a few tissues) to remember it. In fact, this letter should also be from the person who wrote it. When you no longer have clear ideas, it is sometimes good to remember why you love the other person...
Remembering your attachment to your loved one is useful at any time, especially at the most critical one, so don't wait to reconnect or confirm your love. This letter will be like a gentle soothing caress.
In short, write this love letter anywhere, anytime, but write it!
