Summary of this article
 
I'll be on my vacation for a few days, but I have prepared some Tips for you that should get your creative juices flowing.
  
"Love Notes" to your spouse are a 5 minute effort that can be a life changer. Buy a pack of note cards, inspirational cards, 3 x 5 cards, or just a pad of plain paper.
  
Pick a regular time once a week when you will write the note. Then hang onto it for a random amount of time. Surprise is part of the fun. Hide it in a place that is unique each time but will surely be found.  
  
Before writing I suggest you put your hand on your heart. (Just learned about this recently.) This helps you tap into your deepest feelings for your spouse. Write the note. Here are some suggestions for what the content could be:
  
* Expressing Love
* Offering Respect
* Gratitude or Thanks for ...
* Appreciation for ...
* Affirmation of ...
* An Apology for ...
* A Joke
* An Inspiration
* A dream or goal
* Your Choice
  
Try it, you'll like it.

Where To Leave Love Notes

 

By Sheri & Bob Stritof, About.com

 

It appears that the most popular places to leave love notes is somewhere in your kitchen or bathroom.

 

Regardless of where you leave or hide a love note for your spouse to find, writing the note and taking time to find a unique place for it says loudly that you are still very much in love with your spouse.

 

Here are room-by-room suggestions for where to leave love notes for your spouse to find.

 

Where to Leave Love Notes - - Kitchen

 

· Write on an egg in the refrigerator.

 

· Plan and cook a meal together and leave a love note in a recipe book or on one of the ingredients.

 

· On the refrigerator door.

 

· Inside your partner's favorite glass or mug.

 

 

· Inside your mate's favorite bag of chips or package of cookies.

  

· In your silverware drawer.

 

· Use refrigerator magnets that spell words.

 

· Taped on the inside of cupboard doors.

 

· Inside the sugar canister.

 

· If my husband is taking a bag lunch, I will make sandwiches for him either the night before, or the morning of his work day. I fold up the love letter and put it under his entire lunch. When he goes through his lunch items, he will find the food I made for him, and finally he will find the love letter positioned at the bottom of his lunch bag.

 

· In the dishwasher, tied to the stove handle, and on their favorite food/snack.

 

· One day I was fixing her dinner, and while making the salad, I cut the words "I Love You" out of a block of cheese and laid it across the top of her salad.

 

· Open a stick of butter and carve I love you on it and then re-rap it and wait until it's opened.
