Oh, Adrienne! When I think of couples who are married-with-children and still totally in love, you and Mike always spring to mind! It makes me feel so warm and fuzzy knowing how much you adore each other!

on the other hand….
I love the ways that Mike shows me that he loves me on Valentine’s Day. I can see his heart in the way he wants to please me, and can appreciate the warmth of his true character when I know that he wants to love me in my ‘language’.
Being broke never helps (duh) but I find we’re more creative and cut each other more slack. This year we went to a restaurant we loved when we were first married and bought chocolates to share.
20 years of acumulated Valentine’s Day practice helps wonderfully, too.

We’re more into the constant show of affection, rather than saving it up all for one day. I’m not into jewelry, i buy my own chocolate…Though I think one year (coincidentally) “for Valentine’s Day,” Leslie bought me our Dyson vacuum cleaner. Now THAT is my idea of romance!

I got over Valentine’s Day pretty early. My Dan is very thrifty (cheap!) and doesn’t like to waste money on flowers and I am very picky so he doesn’t even attempt to surprise me with a present any more.

We exchange cards and that’s all we ever do…for any holiday. If I want something, I get it for myself. Not very romantic but it works for us. I know he loves me whether or not he is spending money on me…he shows me all year long with the little things he does for me and the kids!

I always felt this way, too!

I don’t know what happened, but this year (for the first time) David did absolutely nothing to acknowledge the day. I think he’s too preoccupied with life at the moment.

And I don’t know what has changed, but it just made me smile inside and love him all the more. The boys and I had a great time with lots of Valentine hurrah, but it really bothered me not at all that he didn’t have a Valentine presence of mind. It is just him, it is just where he’s at this year, and maybe it’s that I have been becoming more and more conscious of how much he loves me, so I didn’t have to have him show me in any particular way.

Of course, it just might be because my dad sent me a lot of dark chocolate. Because I certainly would have been missing that! =)
