We don't do Valentine's Day

Mention February 14th and you immediately think of hearts and flowers, candy and Cupids, love and happiness. Valentine's Day, or the Feast of Saint Valentine is the most lovey-dovey day of the year. Couples shower each other with cards and gifts. Restaurants are packed and florists are run ragged. For some, it is their favorite day of the year. Not us.

My husband and I have been together for ten years this summer, and married for over five of those years. We don't celebrate Valentine's Day. We both feel that if you can only truly express how you feel for each other on one day of the year, then your marriage and relationship has problems that flowers and jewelry are not going to solve. 

Say "I love you" everyday. Do something special and meaningful, no matter how small, for your significant other often. Think of them before you think of yourself. 

1 Corinthians 16:14 - Do everything in love
