Sometimes our significant other just needs to know how much you love them. Obviously you aren’t going to be able to explain that in one little letter but you can try. Here’s an idea of what to say in the letter.
I have so much to do
“You know I love you God but my teacher just offered me extra credit if I write a 3 page paper by tomorrow night and I really need it. Yes, I know I could have said no to working that extra shift tonight but God, I really need the money. You know, Valentine’s Day is coming up, I really wanna take my girlfriend/boyfriend to a good restaurant. I know I promised I’d spend time with you but I forgot to do my laundry the other day, I really need to do it right now.
I have to spend 2 hours minimum watching Netflix with my boyfriend/girlfriend. On suday mornings, I signed up to sing at church, be in the choir, and teach a Sunday school class for the children. I have to play guitar for about 1 hour in order to get better. I need to find time to sleep still, plus I have to use the bathroom every once in a while. God, I don’t think I have time for you today, but I promise, tomorrow, I will try to at least spend 5 minutes reading the Bible.”
All couples fight. It’s just something that happens. No matter how much you avoid it at the beginning, a fight will eventually make its way to the surface, whether it be something stupid or something serious. So make an open when letter about when we are in a fight. To be honest, I close myself off because of walls I’ve built. Rather than screaming or arguing, I tend to say nothing at all. Reason being, I will say stupid things I don’t mean. I’d rather say nothing and talk when I’m ready than to say things I don’t mean. Even though he will forgive me right away, I would feel so bad about it.
I think it’s rare to be in a relationship for a long time without thinking at some point that things don’t feel right. Sometimes there is doubt or fear, or maybe arguments. Sometimes our person needs a reminder to keep fighting, even when things are falling apart.
So we all desire to make our exquisite boyfriends those cute little ‘Open When’ letters that we see on pinterest and tumblr. Yet, even being so popular, all we can ever find online is the outside of the letters. So I am going to help you fill your letters or maybe give some ideas.
