• Enjoy doing those things you love independently, then come home missing him! This last tip is the most practical and when you actually follow it and commit to it in your relationship, it can offer the most rewards! Here’s the thing—most guys have experienced a girlfriend or spouse (I’m not pointing fingers here) tell them what they can’t do. “You can’t go play golf today, I need help with household stuff,” or “You can’t go out with your buddies tonight, because I thought you would want to come home to me. I made special plans for dinner and rented that movie you love.” The thing is, whether you are a little bit guilty of making him feel guilty when he wants some time away, or you’ve completely ditched out on your friends for the man in your life, it’s not pretty. And when you ignore your life that existed before he came along (and don’t give him breathing room with his buddies from time JOY FEELINGS MAGAZINE to time) your entire relationship can cause the both of you to feel like you’re suffocating. Everyone needs alone time—and goes just like the saying: “Absence makes the heart grow fonder.” It’s true, and when it comes to your relationship, nothing will make him want to come home than the feeling that he’s free to go off, drink a beer or two with his buddies and have the trust from you that it’s totally ok for him to do so—no guilt trip attached. Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that frightens us most – Marianne Williamson If you are a woman, chances are there are inner powers that you are not tapping to the maximum. You are attractive beyond measure, and the seductive power lies in you - within you waiting for you to realize, to strike.
