You said it best K...."celebrate love, with or without Valentines Day." I have never much liked the pressure card, candy and jewelry makers put on us to "celebrate our love." I have been happily married for over 18 yrs and yes, my hubs does nice things for me on Valentines day...but he does nice stuf for me ALL THE TIME cause he likes to spoil me! LOL! W/ 2 teen/tween kids right now, we are happy to get a free night WHENEVER we can!!
Don't get me wrong...it IS a fun holiday, but shouldn't be taken too seriously...my husband should love me every day, without being told...and the flowers mean way more if there is no reason for giving them!
