VALENTINE’S DAY
Love is in the air...
alentine’s Day isn't just for loved-up, starcrossed youngsters who want to win each
others affections with chocolates, flowers and
cards. It is, of course, also for those who have
been in loving, dedicated and happy relationships
for years.
In fact, the Bishop of Stafford once issued a
Valentine’s message in which he said married
couples should ‘continue to work at their
relationship if it is going to be as we all hope, lifelong and mutually fulfilling.’
However Valentine’s Day can be enjoyed by
everyone. It is certainly a great time to rejuvenate
a relationship perhaps by revisiting that old
romantic spot, reliving a happy memory or simply
reaffirming your love for one another.
Make sure the two of you allow enough space
and freedom to concentrate on enjoying each
others company
Include something unusual in your plan for the
day. It doesn't have to be anything crazy, but it
V
should definitely be something you don't do
everyday. An activity that is not part of the regular
routine will help you both recognise the unique
opportunity that Valentine’s Day affords you to
enjoy one another.
While most make dinner reservations for
Cupid's day, a relationship can be strengthened by
planning a surprise. Or rather not planning. There
are two ways to do this. The first is to make no
Valentine's plans and see what the day brings you
as a couple. Some people are a little too regimented
for spontaneous activity. If you and your spouse
need a definitive plan, agree to create surprises for
each other to be presented on Valentine’s Day.
Married couples could even think about reaffirming their wedding vows this Valentine’s Day
– ask your local church or registrar what
opportunities they can offer – or just do it in a
private ceremony yourselves with family and
friends. Then you will have an extra special
Valentine’s Day that you will remember forever.
