    How to Write Your Partner a Poem from the Heart

    Valentine’s Day is just a few days away, and I know how easy it is to get caught up in the hustle and forget to make time for something truly meaningful. Gifts and grand gestures are great, but here’s the truth: writing a heartfelt poem for your wife can be far more valuable than anything you can buy her. That’s why I’m sharing something special with you today—a way to express your love through words. In a recent podcast interview, Adam Roa, a renowned poet and speaker, shared an incredible exercise designed to help men craft heartfelt poems for their wives. Adam’s approach is simple yet powerful: it’s not about writing the world’s most perfect poem—it’s about capturing what’s already inside you and putting it on paper. In this 7 minute bonus episode he walks you through: How to reflect on meaningful moments in your relationship. Ways to turn your thoughts and feelings into poetic lines. The transformative power of sharing those words with your partner. Take a few moments to listen and try the exercise.
