Let It be (B)eautiful: There’s nothing sexier than a man enjoying a meal you have just prepared for him. The satisfaction of knowing you have completely pleased him is worth the amount of time you spent slaving over that stove. Surprise your man with a romantic home cooked meal, maybe even a sexy outfit you know he would like, and he will be kissing your feet. 😉

Let it be (A)uthentic: I see so many women completely lose themselves in relationships. I in fact have been a victim to that myself. I thought he knew what was best for me. I thought I had to love him more than myself and that all of my time should be devoted to his needs. However over time, I grew strength as a woman and realized that real love, does not mean you have to forget who you are, or put aside your values, needs and wants so the other person can be happy. Real love is being able to SHARE all those things with your partner without ever feeling the need to hold back your greatness or change who you are! Your partner should want to uplift you and make sure you are always living to your greatest potential!

Let it be (D)etermined to Last: Relationships are always going to have rocky roads. However, the determining factor of whether those hard times will make or break your relationship, is ATTITUDE! If you want your relationship to continue, don’t hold grudges or get loud, respect your partners feelings, put pride aside and if you say your going to move on, REALLY move on, don’t bring up past problems if they have already been resolved. It’s all about how you approach the situation! And once you have resolved your problem, enjoy the make-up rendezvous that follow. 😉
