Why we don´t need to celebrate Saint Valentine’s Day.

Every once a year, we get to celebrate something unique and special. It could be a day for the heroes, a friend’s birthday or a mother’s day. Come Sunday, we’ll be celebrating St. Valentines Day, the day of you, the lovers.

Valentines should be a day that crowns it all, a day that celebrates what you have done for each other.

Celebrating Valentine's Day can distract you from the issues in your relationship.

If you spend enough time with any one person, the two of you are will have issues. While encountering challenges isn’t a bad thing, Valentine’s Day could provide an unhealthy distraction from the things that the two of you need to work out. The roses and reservations can create a “honeymoon effect,” pushing your challenges to the backburner, only to resurrect themselves at a later date…with a vengeance!

Celebrating Valentine's Day could be a sign that your relationship is failing.

Unfortunately for some couples, this is the only day that they spend together. If you find yourself and your significant other becoming two ships that pass in the night, then Valentine’s Day—romantic day that it can be—could be the telltale sign that your relationship is on the rocks. A strong relationship will be a “Valentine’s Day EVERYDAY” coupling, with acts of love and adoration occurring regularly, which include spending time together.

Celebrating Valentine’s Day could reveal to you that the two of you need to re-kindle your passion for each other and your relationship. 

Are the roses and reservations the celebratory mainstay? Or, can he or she expect to be surprised on February 14th? If your Valentine's Day is predictable, which means you know exactly what you're going to do; when you're going to do it; and what romantic little trinket you're going to get, then it could me a sign that the romance and the spontaneity has waned.

Experience of a couple

Over the past few years, I have been a little more irritated with many of the holidays we celebrate in America. I feel they have been taken over by the retailers. Christmas has been completely overwhelmed with an intense focus on shopping and spending money. Valentine’s Day is no different. It has become the holiday all about flowers, chocolates, cards, and food.

I like to be spontaneous when it comes to showing my wife that I love her. There isn’t much fun going on when she expects to get some card or dinner on a specified day.

The short answer is that I don’t need an official holiday to tell me when I should show affection to my wife.
