Over the last year this blog has covered many different topics related to writing your spiritual ethical wills. We have talked about the process of writing an ethical will, creating digital ethical wills and creating more creative spiritual ethical wills. Today I’d like to talk about writing an ethical will as a couple.
When you are involved in a relationship you enjoy sharing with one another. One way that you can utilize this desire to share is to work together writing an ethical will to the world, to your children or to other people that matter to you. You can also write individual ethical letters to your significant other. This activity can not only be a fun way to spend an evening, but it can also help you deepen your relationship.
One of the stumbling blocks that many people face when writing their ethical letters is figuring out what they want to say. A good place to start is to simple express your true feelings for the person you are addressing the letter to. You can explain what they have added to your life and how they have changed your life for the better. Then move on to what you want them to know about you, your life and what you value. Close your letter with instructions for them on how you want them to carry on without you. For example, you can discuss what you wish for them and what you hope they will do.
