I'm obviously not a typical male but this might help. I really appreciate it when my wife writes things down for me. She tends to say a lot ...process out load and say things she that aren't well thought out yet or completely accurate. When she writes it, I know at least a little more thought went into it and it carries a little more weight because of that. Also, it lets me ponder it before we talk in person - very important! Texting would be a good start but because texts are usually short and abreviated, I prefer a letter or email. However, if that's a comfortable step for you to take, go for it! I've been married for 23 years and some of our biggest growth spurts started with one of us going outside our comfort zone. The greater the vulnerability (in what you do and SAY), the deeper the intimacy can go. Best of luck to you Loverstilly.
