I know there are some people that love this holiday and some
that don't. I love it! I see it as a day dedicated to love, making your partner
feel special and appreciated. I have always loved romance, although I think most
men hear the word romance and cringe. Valentine's Day and other days like
anniversaries or birthdays can put a lot of pressure on a man to meet
expectations. These expectations seem to be based off of the grandeur of the
gesture, which I think is ridiculous. Romance is not about meeting
expectations; it is about showing that you know what makes your partner happy.
Valentine’s Day is not about chocolates and roses; it is about putting time and
effort into something to show you care. Not every lady likes chocolates or
roses and it is up to the man to show he knows his lady by the activities
and/or gifts he chooses.
Valentine ’s Day should not just be about the guy making the
lady feel special; it should go both ways. It is a day about love and there is
no reason why us ladies should not be doing something nice for our men too. It
is so easy nowadays to take each other for granted because we are all so busy
and stressed out. We sometimes forget to stop and think about how lucky we are.
Valentine’s Day is your day to stop and think about your partner, the person
that makes your everyday that much better.
