Readers’ Tips for Keeping the Love Alive, Installment X (originally published in True Romance, February 2006)
My husband and I have different work hours, and sometimes I’m leaving just as he’s coming home. We keep our love alive by leaving playful notes for each other on days when we won’t get to spend time together. He’ll leave me a smiley-faced post-it on the bathroom mirror telling me I’m beautiful, or I’ll hide a note in his brown-bag lunch saying “Have a great day!” with a cutout of his favorite comic strip.
