When you have a romantic Valentine, you look forward to Valentines Day celebrations all year long as a wonderful opportunity to do something special to express your love and gratitude.
Loving is much easier these days than it was for Saint Valentine in 269 A.D., when romance was viewed as an aberrant distraction during war-time.
Today, women purchase 85% of the 1 billion Valentines Day cards sold in the US. However, men are the biggest buyers of candy and flowers for Valentines Day celebrations, which first became popular in the early 1700s when Charles II of Sweden published writings about "the language of flowers" in Europe.
He said that secrets could be exchanged through the choosing of a certain bouquet. Flowers are still one of the most popular Valentines Day gifts. As of the 1980s, the diamond industry began promoting their jewels as a more expensive way of showing undying love.
Though we don't sacrifice the family dog, pick our sexual partner's name out of a jar and run down the street naked or whack people with straps of animal skin, we can still have a good time with Valentines Day celebrations.
Whether it's something extravagant like a romantic cruise, a diamond or a huge floral arrangement, or something quaint like dinner and a movie or writing a handwritten love letter, don't let this chance to express positive emotions slip away.
As French novelist George Sand wrote, "There is only one happiness in life; to love and be loved."
