Mull over the maxims: ‘Absence makes the heart grow fonder’ and ‘How can I miss you if you don’t go away?’ 

Always make room for romance.  Keep the fires burning and the affection churning. Remember what attracted you to your babe in the first place.

Don’t let yourself go physically. Take care of your body, mind, and spirit so you can remain your darling’s rock. You will gain substantial benefits by developing into the best woman you strive to be.

Sanction your sweetheart when his guard is down, mentally and psychically. Allow him the liberty to be laid-back, messy, uninhibited.

Recognize you’re his best friend. The biggest compliment your honey can pay you is, “You’re my best friend.” It typically has a deeper meaning to your dearest than the three magic words, “I love you.”

Your chap may drink, smoke, or watch sports with buddies, yet you are his go to person. You’re the lone individual he’s vulnerable with. In your presence, he doesn’t have to maintain his macho image and constantly roar like the king of the forest.

Welcome weaknesses. Embrace his limitations and flaws. Celebrate his Achilles’ heel. Invite your other half’s humanness, with tolerance and approval.
