How to Have a Happy Valentines Day
10 easy ways couples can show they care
~ by Jennifer Coleman
Valentine's
Day is an emotionally charged holiday in which
relationships can renew or sometimes break down. Jennifer Coleman,
Rosen Law Firm's Life Transition Coach and a National Certified
Counselor, has some easy tips on ways to show you care this Valentine's
Day:
1.
Don't forget about the holiday completely or you're basically telling
your sweetheart "I don't care".
2.
Don't pick up something cheap at a gas station because it was fast
and convenient. If you're going to buy your loved one a gift, be
thoughtful and sincere.
3.
Remember and acknowledge that marking your milestones as a couple
is important.
4.
Valentine's Day gifts don't have to be flowers, candies, or expensive
jewelry. It can be about making your sweetheart's favorite dinner
or watching a movie that you both like together. Choose a gesture
that involves what you have come to know about each other over time.
5.
Celebrating this holiday doesn't have to cost money, if that's what
you both decide. Instead, give your loved one a gift certificate
for services redeemable by you. This could involve a massage or
even washing their car.
6.
If you're going to exchange gifts, set a spending limit so that
one person doesn't feel like they received something less. Make
it equal.
7.
Tell your sweetheart things you appreciate most about them and the
time you've spent together over the years.
8.
If you can, hire a baby-sitter. Don't use the kids as an excuse
to why you can't do something together as a couple.
9.
Work within your budget. Don't go into debt celebrating Valentine's
Day; rather do something special you can afford.
10.
Don't worry about making it the perfect Valentine's Day. Just have
fun with the person you love the most.
