“Just think of me as the pages in your diary”- Alicia Keys

Let it be (B)eautiful: If you and your love will be spending a few days apart or you don’t see each other as often as you would like it can definitely suck. Here is a cute idea: Take a pillow case and spray it with your signature scent. Have your guy do the same and then you two swap. This way, while you are in bed it will feel like he is sleeping right next to you. Sweet dreams.

Let it be (A)uthentic: In your relationship you should care about the happiness of your partner without any thought for what you may be getting out of it for yourself. You make him a beautiful dinner of his favorite dish-its because you want to see him happy. It is not because you want to get on his good side so you can feel okay about your weekend plans that don’t include him. Your actions are out of love and your desire to see him happy.

Let it be (D)etermined to last: Intimacy is difficult for most men to handle. They try to reject it in any way possible. However, when a man does open up to his woman its a beautiful thing. It will make the two of you that much closer. As women, we are emotional creatures and it is sometimes easy for us to spill our innermost thoughts and secrets. This is not the case for a man. So when he does tell you something private (i.e his true feelings, a childhood memory, an embarrassing moment, etc) make sure to cherish it. If he trusts in you enough to tell you about something that pains him or let’s you into his past/childhood don’t go off and share it with your friends over lunch. Keep his secrets as if you are his diary. Write it in your heart and lock it up.
