Dearest Samantha,
I remember the feeling I had when we first met 15 years ago. It is difficult to describe in words because in some ways there are no words for what we felt. It was an instant knowing of each other and of something much grander than either of us. It felt like time stood still… in fact, that there was no time.
We knew each other and the love between us even before we opened our mouths to speak.
Since that moment I have never tired of looking into your eyes because the depth and quality I see is priceless, endless, timeless and deeply inspiring.
We have always seen each other for who we are, willing to look beyond all the layers we have placed on top. And we have felt the power of this love between us. This is something that has sustained us, healed us and grown even deeper, richer and stronger as the years have gone by.
I know I love and understand you more now because I love myself and understand myself more deeply than I did when we met.
I have always sensed something special, something beyond this world, in your eyes, your walk, your voice, your movements, the sway of your hips, your touch…. You constantly remind me that we are so much more than human beings. That there is a divine quality or essence that is very beautiful and inside all of us. I feel more of the real me simply by being with you.
Since I was a child I always had a knowing of the deep respect, integrity, decency and true equality that was possible in relationships. Our relationship has already surpassed even my wildest imaginations and expectations. And I can sense that this is just the beginning.
You are so, so beautiful, graceful, joyful and sexy that it ignites my heart and fires up my being.
You live with so much integrity, honour, warmth and dedication to truth that you inspire me every day.
You are the rock of our family – a solid, consistent presence in the house that steadies me and our children whenever we wobble or lose our way. I know you have always got my back.
You share so much wisdom that you have always been a tremendous counsel and support to me and many others in understanding life.
I deeply appreciate the blessing of having you in my life, and having this golden opportunity to walk beside you in this life hand in hand. I can truly feel how unstoppable we are together when we are together – a true power couple.
Sometimes the way we live together seems so normal and natural that I don’t fully appreciate what we have already. So I write this love letter to you today to claim what we already live now and who we are and what we bring together.
I constantly marvel at how we came together and the way that we complement each other so well in terms of our strengths and weaknesses and how we reflect constantly to each other exactly what is needed for us both to evolve equally. The precision, detail and delicateness of this is truly incredible.
I deeply appreciate the commitment and dedication we have both said yes to so far in our relationship and the foundation of love we have already built together. It has been a beautiful unfolding of a very beautiful flower. There is no perfection and more of our potential to develop, but I can sense that we are on the verge of something even greater. I can sense the purpose in building the love between us to bring more of this love to the world. There is so much to celebrate!
We are eleven years married this year and yet it feels like we are beginning all over again.
I want to re-commit to myself, to you, to us, to love and to the rawness, vulnerability, intimacy, honesty and openness that is so beautiful in all loving relationships. I want to deepen and expand the beauty, the intimacy, the tenderness, the power, between us even more.
I am beginning to understand that our relationship is about far more than us, it is about all relationships everywhere and that we have a beautiful responsibility to continue to evolve our relationship for the sake of all relationships everywhere. And there is so much joy, laughter, fun and love we can be and have along the way.
With love, care and deep appreciation for all that you are and all that you bring to this world.

Love letters are not old fashioned and why are they not our every day Expression to each other? Can a relationship really be a relationship if we do not adore our partners and ourselves?
Absolutely Adele, the exquisiteness in sharing the magnatuide and depth of love felt is absolutely prescious. This is normal and so very needed.
It is a wondrous thing to look into another’s eyes and see reflected in them all the divine and love that we are.
Yes, to know we both are, equally.
Gorgeous Andrew I love this, just expression straight from the heart : pure and simple. A testimony that love is never ever complex but present and simple when we connect to who we are and truly see around..
I love this – we need more love letters in the world! The time of taking people for granted is over – we need more genuine expression of how much we love and cherish every single little thing about the people around us.
This is so beautiful Meg, I agree in full. The beautiful expression is real and tender and full of truth and beauty. It’s like a blessing all ready for us to be apart of.
Yes true appreciation is the antidote for taking people and things for granted. And the interesting thing is when we really start to clock and appreciate the qualities in people and love that is there in our lives, however buried by other stuff it may be, then the more we start to appreciate ourselves and our own qualities.
Living an evolutionary life is both exposing and uncomfortable.. but also offers growth and expansion and a feeling of space: a feeling of connecting to and absolutely knowing who we are, if we say yes to whatever lies ahead, no matter how uncomfortable and rocky it might feel along the way. The alternative is smallness and contraction and a feeling of never quite being sure of who we are, or brave enough to let go and attempt to live as who we really are.
This is very interesting Shirley-Ann as expressing this love for ourselves often seems very strange as it has not been how we have lived for some time but when we do express in this way we start to open up to more and more of the love that we are within.
What a beautiful evidence, that love does not get less the longer you are together but more, if you lead a truly evolving and constant expanding relationship.
Yes and this is completely the opposite of the usual trend in long term relationships where usually the fire goes out.
Such public expression of appreciation and adoration are such a blessing. As a society we have become so unaccustomed to the manner of communication. Yet what a wonderful way to confirm our best qualities and inspire one another to live and deepen the exquisiteness we all have access to.
How precious is it when we express our love and appreciation for others. This is deeply felt and full of genuine Love for your partner which then of course has an effect on all other relationships. Very beautiful, thank you for sharing.
So true, And we are all blessed and inspired by witnessing it too.
I love your open adoration of Samantha Andrew. I agree how can we ever tire of looking into another’s eyes and the endless, timeless depth that is there.
Could you write a letter like this to yourself? If you don’t extend the same appreciation of grace to your qualities you can never truly embrace someone else.
Adoration is so natural—how could we not adore ourselves and each other on a day to day basis? It would be too long to even last one day!
These sort of love letters have gone out of fashion a bit and seen as soppy or publicising one’s private affairs. I find it a beautiful display of love and transparency, and a wonderful moment where the love held for one is held for all.
I agree Michael and I would add that true appreciation and adoration of each other has also gone out of fashion. Time to bring them back for they are vital components on any healthy relationship and society.
Mhmm, I have seen recently how much appreciation and adoration can advance us as an individual and as a group collectively.
Timeless love is what we all have within us to access, age, gender, experiences, do not make us who we are, who we are is within and this has no age or distinction. Love is energy, we can feel it, we know it, it is a true, it is universal, it has no boundaries, barriers or criteria, it purely and simply IS. And so we have the opportunity in any of our relationships to make them about love, from love, in the quality of love.
It is truly amazing when we feel the expansive, timeless, holding energy of love in our lives and it is great to remember that this is a quality that is part of our essence, all of us.
A jaw dropper Andrew, I absolutely love how much I can feel the depth in you when you write and share your way.
Thanks Andrew for sharing such an intimate love letter to your wife. This letter is such a gift to all our relationships and to the world.
Yes Shirley-Ann what a great idea writing a love letter to ourselves which we can do everyday in fact by how we treat ourselves even if we don’t put pen to paper so to speak.
In my experience we need to deeply love ourselves before we can love another person and the love we then experience with another is far greater than we could possibly ever have on our own.
What you shared here Andrew is very valuable because it has nothing to do with gift your partner with nice words but to deeply appreciate her with no holding back the amazing qualities that she holds as a woman and the steps that you both have made together along this path of life. How amazing would be expressing in such a way in all relationships that we have? Starting with our inner talking and expanding to every person that we meet.
It is very precious to read how a man can show such a tenderness expressing love to his partner. It feels pure and very real. It starts within you by the work that you beautifully have done with yourself first, this is something to deeply appreciate and celebrate. An example of how we can be in all relationships starting to truly love ourselves first. Thank you Andrew
We can constantly marvel at all the constellations of the beautiful people that have come together in our life. Your letter has reminded me to appreciate this each and every day.
It is so precious when we share our observations and experiences of life lived from our heart. Such expressions offer a true gift of inspiration.
“I deeply appreciate the commitment and dedication we have both said yes to so far in our relationship and the foundation of love we have already built together. It has been a beautiful unfolding of a very beautiful flower.”What an amazing letter and sharing of your ever deepening love and appreciation for your wife and relationship. A real inspiration and reflection for all relationships.
What a heartfelt letter this is Andrew, you can feel each word that you have chosen is emanating the evolution of where you guys have come from and where you are today. So powerful and you can feel how much more is on offer when we really do stop and appreciate and celebrate what we are choosing. Thanks so much for sharing, very inspiring.
Thank you Natalie, yes what I am gradually coming to understand with some support from some very wise people I know is that appreciation and acceptance of where we have come to and the steps we have already taken is very important, if not essential for taking the next steps we can sense that we are being called to take.
This is a gorgeous and very touching sharing – but what if we all have things in our lives which we can savour, appreciate and cherish? It’s easy to admire it when other people express but hold it back in ourselves.
So true. As always the best way of appreciating what we witness in another is not by putting them on a pedestal, but to let them inspire us to the equal grandness there is for us to also express.
We often think making a difference in the world involves becoming famous, doing something on a grand scale, fighting something, having a mission, yet as we can see this letter alone has inspired so many people on such a profound level. Imagine what living and reflecting such qualities on a daily basis can do.
Thank you Golnaz the responses to my blog have really blown me away such is the obvious depth and inspiration people have felt and then shared and expanded on back. So I have been truly inspired by this also! Such an outpouring of love has got to have an impact in the world. I have always felt that from little things, big things grow and it is the quality of our one-to-one relationships that we have with ourselves and with others around us on a daily basis that will build the foundation for the bigger changes we want to see in the world.
We always underestimate our impact in so called “little things”. There are in fact no “little” things. We as human thinking beings only regard, like you said, big and famous things as huge, but on an energetic point of view nothing needs to be visually big. Energy is endless and does so much, if you but allow yourself to feel and receive it.
I really feel Andrew how you hold the foundation of evolving together as the basis of true relationship.
To ‘constantly marvel’ and stay awake to the magic on offer in our relationships every day… this love letter and appreciation is very inspiring… thank you.
When a relationship deepens in love and appreciation it is felt by us all and is an inspiration to be aware of and express our responsibility and love for each other.
Love and appreciation openly expressed is a wonderful inspiration for us all to also go there and open ourselves to such a level of expression.
Words of appreciation and adoration are so important to expres as it empowers the potential of the relationship these words are confirming.
To confirm others in their true qualities and to not settle for them living less than all they are, are essential aspects of our relationships.
I agree, to express adoration and appreciation is exactly what we need to be doing for one another. I really enjoy how my body feels when I express this and yet it is interesting to observe that it took me years to accept this from other people. And I used to deflect it, react to it and deny it, while still seeking it….bizarre but a reality of someone not willing to be loved or love themselves. I know this is shifting because I have learnt to step into love, for myself and others and in this I now enjoy being adored like never before and enjoy adoring others. There is always more, but this is life, we are here to learn. And concerning Andrew, my husband, I suddenly realised he had been adoring me for years and I used to act like he was an annoying wasp buzzing around my head, while thinking I was not appreciated….this teaches me that we should not have pictures about what signs should look like, and be willing to be honest about what our agendas and protections are, and instead be open to what we are truly feeling from other people and within ourselves.
Relationships are there to explore and build the potential that is available to the constellation the relationship is built on and mostly so, not only for these people that are involved in this relationship, but too to reflect back to the world that there is more to life that just to function and exist. In fact that we are divine and can have amazing relationships when we claim this in full.
Relationships and the quality we are in them are so key in life. In the simplicity of this lies all the answers to our current world dillemas. If we were more considerate of one another, more respectful, more loving there couldn’t be war, murder, violence, rape etc.. developing a loving relationship with ourselves would support our health beyond measure as when you care for yourself you naturally want to take care of your body. There would be no self harm and the 80% occurance of the top 5 leading causes of death being caused by lifestyle factors would reduce increadibly.
So what you share here Andrew the willingness and innocence of wanting to deepen more in relationship is much much bigger than just you and your wife as you have said.
It is what the world needs more than anything, Love.
It is in our innocence we can find our true essence and when people do show that to the world we all can be inspired to reconnect to that same innocence we all have, as we had it already when we where born.
So absolutely awesome Andrew, I feel my body expand as I read what you have so Loving portrayed and one can feel the depth of lived-Loved between you and Samantha and that level of Love should be our normal in every relationship. Love once expressed is natural and normal and we can all take a deep breath and learn so much from your words with the depth of True-Love that pervades each sentence.
How many of us take the time any more to write love letters to people? My mum used to have a collection of letters sent to her by past boyfriends and there was a sweetness and tenderness in the act of writing down and expressing love that we don’t seem to take time to do anymore.
You probably could write and write about the love between you and Samantha as there is no end to the depth of love you expressed. Very beautiful to read, thank you.
When we are willing to see and connect to the divinity and love we feel in another we confirm this love and divinity in ourselves also.
This is a very beautiful sharing
“I am beginning to understand that our relationship is about far more than us, it is about all relationships everywhere and that we have a beautiful responsibility to continue to evolve our relationship for the sake of all relationships everywhere. And there is so much joy, laughter, fun and love we can be and have along the way.”
This to me is what is missing in the world a reflection that of what a true relationship looks and feels like.
You are an inspiration Andrew, Absolutely Beautiful. I love the part where you said, “I know I love and understand you more now because I love myself and understand myself more deeply than I did when we met.” This is is gold. It just makes so much sense, to truly love and understand another, we have to first truly love and understand ourselves.
I agree, it is beautiful to read and beautiful to understand that we have the power within, there is no need to seek outside, when it comes to being complete, or with others. We can learn to be connected from within and then true, loving connection develops with everyone else.
Yes Doug currently in the world today we have an epidemic of holding back what we feel and who we are from the world and I have definitely been a part of that. It is currently not widely understood and recognised but this suppression of expression is really hurting us and harming our health and wellbeing. It has been a beautiful process to allow myself to open up and express more of who I am in my words, walk, work etc and has made a huge difference to my own life and health and wellbeing.
When people have a deep connection within to their stillness, sacredness, joy and harmony there is a quality emanating from the eyes that reflect the inner beauty that is within everyone equally so. A reminder of who we are as we are held in the eyes of another without imposition, there is only love.
“Since that moment I have never tired of looking into your eyes because the depth and quality I see is priceless, endless, timeless and deeply inspiring”.
Yes Stephanie the eyes as they say are the window in which we can truly see and sense someone’s soul, the essence of who they are and all the qualities they bring to this world.
It would be so fabulous to stop once in a while and reflect on what we truly appreciate about another from the depth of our heart. Thanks for the inspiration.
I know exactly what you mean, I had the washing machine engineer with us yesterday and I unequivicably felt love for him, who he was, he was sweet, caring, gentle, committed, open, we talked about puppy training, children and the washing machine and we really enjoyed meeting one another, and we both said it, and then on our dog walk it happened again a lady sat with a 6 week baby, we talked about life, children, relationships and I again felt love for her, who she is in essence, and the baby and she said ‘I feel more like myself meeting you, thank you’. When we see and appreciate someone for who they are in essence, this is an energetic love letter, we can write it and we can sing it, we can feel it, express it and it confirms what is love and truth in life. Every relationship / encounter can have this quality, even when it is not reciprocated it can still be felt by both. Love letters being shared all over the place what a shift in the quality of life we live….love this suggestion and observation.
“I know I love and understand you more now because I love myself and understand myself more deeply than I did when we met.” How beautiful Andrew and a real testament to relationships and the growing available to us all . A real joy and grace to read thank you Andrew.
Time standing still…that’s a beautiful thing. We often get attracted by the lure of getting something we want or don’t give to ourselves from another person. But to feel a connection and the space that allows is a confirmation of both people, the wholeness of who they really are and why we are here.
A beautiful declaration of your commitment to true love lived between you and how your relationship together represents your relationship with humanity, and an equally beautiful reflection of how powerful and possible it is to live with love as our foundation in our lives, in which our relationships then only deepen and enrichen. Very inspiring for all.
I truly love the simple act of writing a love letter to your wife and letting the whole world read it.
To express the beauty of love truthfully is very powerful. We come up with all sorts of excuses and justifications to not express our love for one another such as ‘you know how much I love you, I don’t need to express it to you!’, ‘you’re very insecure to have to be told how much I love you’ and it may not be said but really speaking we’re saying ‘I haven’t got time for expression, I’m busy’ etc. I’m sure we have all experienced these statements some time in our lives but could it be we find it too difficult and challenging to simply express our love for another and even if we are, are we living with consistency expressing our appreciation and confirmation of one another? This is something I am learning but what I am learning most is that my expression always comes down to me first and what is going on within me as to whether I express wholeheartedly or hold back from delivering what is there to be delivered.
Yes Caroline we can always find excuses not to express love but life takes on another level of richness and depth when we do.
Where you have come to as a couple is paving a way for many many to join in to experience the same.
We have in our society the term ‘honeymoon period’ — where you are in the buzz and bliss of finding love and referring to that time as the pinnacle of the relationship. Then that fades out as kids come into the picture, marriage and mortgage too. The fact we even have this term says to me that we are not in true relationships like we could be, like what you’ve presented Andrew, a love that constantly deepens and grows as you do within yourself.
It is beautiful and inspiring to read something so endearing yet there be no sentimentality.
So so beautiful and lovingly expressed Andrew, expressing to us the love that is possible in a true relationship, with absolute commitment and a deep appreciation to forever evolving together.
The tenderness of a man in all its strength and expression showing the way for all men.
Agreed Alex, far too often we don’t share this innate and tender side of who we are.
Andrew, this is deeply touching both in the qualtiy with which you have expressed to Samantha so openly and beatuifully, but also because you have not held back how you feel about her for all to see. Thank you, its gorgeous.
There is such beauty, sensitivity and honouring, both of yourself and Samantha, in this writing. Thank you Andrew for showing what a true love letter is.
Very inspiring to see that you left behind any pride or picture of being a so-called independent man and instead have opened yourself up in full to the relationship with your wife but also people in general and now know yourself in and through relationship.
Thank you Alex. Yes it is crazy really how we try to fly solo thinking we are tough and strong as men but really we just cut ourselves off from love and intimacy which deep down is what we all want both men and women alike. I know the more I open myself up to love the more amazing and rich my life has become.
So touching. This makes my heart melt every time.
“A Love Letter to My Wife” – the beauty of true love is that the way we love one person is the way we love another and so you could say that the love letter here in its universality aspect is a letter to us all Andrew.
Awesome sharing Andrew, so beautiful that you chose to share it with the world and not just keep it solely for Samantha, so we have another amazing example of how relationships can be.
Hear hear kev, this is too beautiful to keep for one person, and knowing Andrew and Samantha and their love for humanity, it is only fitting that this declaration be shared with everybody.
The grandness and Divinity in you both is very palpable. A great reminder that true love is grander than flesh.
It is gorgeous how you have taken care to describe and appreciate your relationship with your wife in so much detail, and have chosen to share this with all of us. It made me smile to read “I can sense the purpose in building the love between us to bring more of this love to the world.“ and “I am beginning to understand that our relationship is about far more than us, it is about all relationships everywhere and that we have a beautiful responsibility to continue to evolve our relationship for the sake of all relationships everywhere.” The sharing of this blog is a testimony to a choice to honour this realization.
Truly gorgeous Andrew and “I know I love and understand you more now because I love myself and understand myself more deeply than I did when we met.,” says so much for the importance of loving oneself to love another and the beauty and depth of love which arises from that.
There is an ocean of appreciation and a whole world of adoration to be shared – but we choose to dwell on the ‘not quite rights’ in everyday life. Like a horse with blinkers on we need to understand there’s so much more to see.
What a great reminder Joseph that if we just stop and take the blinkers off there is always loads to appreciate in life.
Appreciating something true and wonderful, however small is a great place to build and expand from.
So beautifully put Joseph. There is a whole Universe of Appreciation waiting to be explored, enjoyed and celebrated, which is why this is such a beautiful love letter, one that reminds us to drop the blinkers and connect to all the beauty that is within us and the wealth of joy there is to share.
Thank you for sharing the love between you in this blog. This kind of love and commitment to keep growing not only for yourselves but for relationships everywhere is exactly what the world needs. You are showing that love isn’t an arrangement or comfortable or about the meeting of needs.
Totally gorgeous Andrew, it’s very beautiful when one gets a snippet into timeless love. It creates space in one’s body and knowing of love that we are all part of.
It’s gorgeous that even after years of marriage you are both still as ‘into each other’ as you were when you first met! The spark of love never dies.
Susie it’s true that the spark of true love never dies. But unfortunately the spark of the regurgitated form of love that we have all come to accept was actually never truly lit in the first place, hence the feeling in most of us, that it’s well and truly gone out.
Thanks Susie, yes not only does love never die but also it continues to grow and deepen if we commit to it and allow it to be the guiding light in all our relationships. We really don’t have to do much other than put love first and love takes care of the rest!
Great observation. When love is truly expressed and appreciated, it is a Universal expression. It touches and includes absolutely everyone.
‘I know I love and understand you more now because I love myself and understand myself more deeply than I did when we met.’ The beauty and the grace of relationships, how much we grow and learn about ourselves.
Andrew, thank you for sharing this deeply touching and beautiful love letter to your wife Samantha. A powerful reflection for the evolution that is offered within relationships that is tangible and felt by all.
Thank you Andrew, a powerful way showing us that we must commit to what we truly love.
Personification of love and appreciation.
A deeply touching sharing of your relationship and commitment to it and expanding love for yourself and each other and all relationships in your daily life with the joy and appreciation this brings. Very inspiring and tangible to feel .
As I read this deeply touching love letter I could feel the glorious ripples flowing from it out into the world. A world that is in desperate need of knowing what a true relationship is, one that is forever evolving and one which has the power to unite us all in one huge relationship – a true relationship with humanity.
It is so glorious that you have shared this and not kept it to yourselves. Expressions of love such as this need to be the norm, and sharing it brings it out into the open as an example and inspiration for others. Thank you.
What is equally beautiful about this beautiful love letter, is your willingness to share it with everyone Andrew and Samantha. So often, a love letter is kept for ‘your eyes only’ and no one then gets to feel the depth of love that is there to be shared.
It is beautiful to feel the depth of love between you and gorgeous to feel how willingly you both share it with everyone. This is truly the way forward for humanity.
Thank you Andrew and Samantha for sharing your love with us here. What stood out for me this morning is that all relationships can hold the quality and depth you express and claim for your marriage, that beauty, intimacy, tenderness and power can be a staple of any relationship – “I want to re-commit to myself, to you, to us, to love and to the rawness, vulnerability, intimacy, honesty and openness that is so beautiful in all loving relationships. I want to deepen and expand the beauty, the intimacy, the tenderness, the power, between us even more.”
Reading this today I can feel the space that is in the relationship through the way you describe the ‘out-of-this-worldness’ of the connection. It is far deeper that we can often express. You have found the words to offer us all an opportunity to investigate it further. Thanks you.
A beautiful inspiration to go deeper with loving ourselves – for the quality of tenderness you share here Andrew is so palpable. A great reminder that the way we express – everyone can feel.
The depth of love and appreciation here is so touching. And this is possible because of your love and appreciation of yourself. So very beautiful.
“Sometimes the way we live together seems so normal and natural that I don’t fully appreciate what we have already.” So often love is written about through passion and emotion – what makes this beautiful is the acknowledgement and celebration of the everyday moment to moment steadiness, a foundation from which to explore and deepen.
Absolutely the true foundation that is to be celebrated and appreciated.
I agree and then the passion and attraction seem so shallow!! It is certainly not that the attraction isn’t there and the relationships stop being passionate but there is no sense of need or urgency. It is a sinking back rather than a reaching out perhaps.
The heartfelt appreciation is humbling and super inspiring.
There is such a huge difference between emotional romantic love which sets us up to look for love in the other to fulfil us, instead of being that love with ourselves first. When we bring that solid foundation to relationships where we can meet our own needs, both parties can grow and deepen in expressing and sharing more love.
It is beautiful to read when someone digs deep and appreciates their every day and the people around them.. inspiring stuff.
Simply wow… heartfelt or what! This is beautiful Andrew, truly beautiful to read. And the bit I love the best, is not just the honouring of another, but the recognition that the more you have developed a love for yourself, the more love is available in and for the relationship.
Yes, it is a great feeling when you have been together for years or decades and it feels as if you are only just getting started.
Most relationships after 15 years are at best stagnant, but often also abusive, abandoned and completely under-appreciated – it’s heart-warming to read that if approached correctly and if truly cherished this doesn’t need to be the case.
What is beautiful about this letter is it doesn’t make the other person better or greater, nor does it shut the world out, it is an expression of love that holds the person expressing it equally.
The more we love ourselves the more we are able to love another. Or it could be expressed this way . . . the deeper we know and love ourselves the deeper we can know and love another.
I agree Gill and it is not only that Samantha is appreciated which I feel as humanity we are not so hot on this (truly appreciating another/others) but the fact that their love is continually deepening and expanding which is so gorgeous to feel. Very inspiring.
‘I know I love and understand you more now because I love myself and understand myself more deeply than I did when we met.’ what a beautiful foundation for deepening your love in your relationship, coming from the understanding and love for your self, and so expressed in your love letter.
With love and appreciation such as this relationships become an expression of the love that we are from deep within.
This is such a gorgeous article to read. We should have far more literature like this around which reflects the true glory that we could all be living and inspires us to be the most divine expression of ourselves that we can in any moment be.
I agree Golnaz, it would be amazing if more magic was put into words – like this – rather than aimless gossip or words only for dramatic effect.
Yes, expressing love and truth – the more we do it the more it can come from our livingness and be transformative for everybody.
Your relationship is a great example of what is possible when 2 people say yes to deepening their own love and the love for each other….very, very beautiful and inspirational.
It’s so rare to read something like this, open, heart felt and full of true Love. It’s something crazy about our society that we have made internet rants normal but this natural expression rare as hens teath. Maybe if we stopped ranting we would find this preciousness is there deep underneath.
Oh yes please. It is time to stop the ranting and unloving games. I would love to have an internet full of expressions such as this blog – “open, heart felt and full of true Love” expressions rejoicing the exquisite preciousness that every one of us have deep within.
I agree Joseph there could be a lot more appreciation, truth and love shared on the internet rather than the usual serving of lies, criticisms and judgements.
Andrew, reading this love letter makes me realise how much appreciation we can have for each other. It is very beautiful to express this and not hold back how you feel. I love that you have shared your love and appreciation for Samantha for all to share and be inspired by.
A true confirmation that we are in relationship with another being of light not just another human person and that being in a truly loving relationship is always about the commitment to the quality of light you bring to each other, not just what you say or do.
Andrew your expression is in itself expansion and so when applied to the all, which all expression can’t help but be, it supports the all to expand. And so the question for all of us is ‘is what we are expressing a form of contraction or expansion?’.
This love letter for your wife is for us all, thank you.
Yes Fiona this is what I felt too as I sat down to write this letter for my wife. By the end I realised it was a love letter for everyone.
I feel expressing our love for someone has become very rare, it is not what we are surrounded by. So thank you for doing so and thus setting a standard how natural this can be.
Instead of the usual complaining and moaning, imagine if we expressed like this to each other more how confirming and uplifting this would be.
‘I deeply appreciate the blessing of having you in my life, and having this golden opportunity to walk beside you in this life hand in hand.’ Thank you Andrew for so openly expressing the love and inspiration that is reflected in your life together where you have both been so open to the expansion that is available to you and to all through you.
This is truly inspiring Andrew … to feel the depth of your love, tenderness and sensitivity that is in fact innate within us all – men and women equally so.
A beautiful sharing of the quality that you hold for each other
Sharing the Love within a true relationship as you have Andrew should show us that this is equally available to all “for the sake of all relationships everywhere.”
It is the most gorgeous gift when people share the precious aspects in their life which they find is supporting them to expand and deepen the love, fullness of expression and quality of relationships. Yes it lets us all know that it is possible for us too – and is ever so inspiring.
Andrew, this is a great point; ‘I know I love and understand you more now because I love myself and understand myself more deeply than I did when we met.’ I can feel that because I love and understand and don’t judge myself that I am then able to feel this love and care and understanding with others too.
Beautifully inspiring Love Letter that has got me pondering on how to express my deep appreciation for all the gorgeous people in my life. Thank you.
