Every day should be Valentine’s Day
Valentine’s Day is almost here. We have already shown you how to have a thrifty and cheap Valentine’s Day without sacrificing romance. Now let me share with you why I don’t particularly care for Valentine’s Day in general. Warning, this post might entice you to ban Valentine’s Day all together but it will definitely make you think.
I have always found that Valentine’s Day is the one day that forces the significant other in your life to tell you that they love you. Then they have to spend 2-3 times as much on roses and candy because the industry jacks the price up for the special occasion. They have to buy some ridiculous card that says they love you when you already know that and most of the time, the card is bought at the gas station or convenience store down the street as an afterthought.
Having said all that, let me share with you what my Valentine’s day is usually about. Nothing! And that is just the way I like it.
Now before you go thinking that my SH is a looser, let me show you why I love my Valentine’s Day life, as I call it.
- My husband remembers when I have had a bad day and usually asks me when he gets home if my day was ok, unless we have been blessed to talk aobut our day during the day.
- If I call him, he always asks me if I am doing ok and how I am feeling. We are pregnant so he likes to see how I am feeling.
- Before the first one of us leaves for the day, we always give each other a kiss before we separate, even if it makes us a few minutes late.
- I can’t remember the last time I actually had to open my own car door when he is around.
- He’s not perfect but he sure makes me feel like he is when he holds my hand as we walk down the street.
- He helps with the baby by giving her her bath and putting her to bed when I am tired.
- If the baby gets up during the night, Daddy has night duty so I can sleep.
- He makes sure we go on a date on a regular basis. It might be dinner, a movie, or just a walk in the park. Nothing special, but it makes me feel that way.
These are just a few of the things he does every day to make me feel loved and needed. So when it comes to Valentine’s Day, I don’t need a special day to make me feel like a queen. He does that for me every day. If you will go back and reread, he also doesn’t spend a lot of money on me, which I can totally appreciate. He takes the time to remember what I like and that helps save money. I really appreciate that. He gives me a Valentine’s Day every day so we don’t need February 14th to do that.
I hope you have a good holiday and you are made to feel like a queen for a day by your husband or boyfriend. I really hope that they can make you feel like that every day so that Valentine’s Day is just another day of love in your household.
Yea, Valentine’s Day isn’t really big here either. It’s just not that big of a deal I’m afraid.
I’m glad that he makes you feel like a queen. That is sweet.
My sentiments exactly. Our anniversary is our special day to celebrate romance. Valentine’s Day is for kids to exchange cheap paper hearts.
I’ll take the acts of love and caring any day over the material things in life.
