The Whens, Whys and Hows of Expressing Terms of Endearment It has been said, Words can bewitch the soul. Effectively used in the modern love letter, words can work to the advantage of all those who seek ever lasting happiness. Love letters have power: the power to sustain good relationships and move them forward, the power to improve failing ones and make them better even the power to save those in serious trouble. In How to Write a Love Letter That Works, the authors express their belief that a return to what worked in the past is not old-fashioned as long as it is updated to account for modern times and trends. The fifty chapters, each of them devoted to a different situation in which a love letter can and should be used, is divided into four sections: His Feelings, His Letter, Her Feelings, and Her Letter. The feelings sections gives the reader insight into their own motivations and allows them to examine the problem from the other person s point of view. Each of the letters, beautifully and effectively crafted, offers readers the opportunity to borrow selectively ideas or language, filter them through the prism of their own personalities, and create their own love letters that work.
