Open When: We’ve Had Our First Fight

Not every letter is going to be directed towards an amazing life moment. Sometimes fights happen and couples don’t see eye to eye. But if the fight is too big for barriers, then it could mean an ending to a great fairy tale. Remind your partner why you both fell in love with each other, and how even though things have gone south in this particular moment, your love with shine through and help you both make it through this bump in the road.

Open When: I’ve Been Gone For Too Long

Write a letter to your loved one about how much you miss them, and how before they know it you’ll be back in their arms, feeling the warmth from their body warm your own.

Open When: I’m Driving You Crazy

Ladies, let’s admit it. Sometimes we get too clingy and our men need their space. We’re so filled with love and joy that sometimes it’s overwhelming. Give him his space, but give him a letter letting him know that you understand and that it’s okay. That you love and that you’ll be waiting for him once he’s had his guys night out.

P.S. It’s not a bad thing when this happens! Every couple needs their space and a friend night out is most definitely required for both parties. But remember, by the end of the night, he’ll probably feel bad because he needed space and will be falling into your arms once he walks through that front door.

Open When: Your Stressed About Money

Finances is one of the biggest enemies of relationships. Most likely when a relationship ends, it has to do with money and the stress that comes with it. Through better or worse, your love will shine through. You don’t need to be living in a mansion in order to live a long and happy life. Tell your partner that money isn’t everything, and let him know that as long as you both are happy with what you have, then money isn’t everything the world has to offer. Stability is great, happiness is forever, and love is the balance beam keeping both parties on the same level.
