People expect these gift. I go into it not expecting anything. Every day is worth celebrating. Life is here for us to enjoy. I don't like to put emphasis on a day just because of its title. Celebrate the relationship all the time, not just the days that have titles on them.Kissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11236120070441543700noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5914092373936984359.post-65257350337302647972014-02-25T22:52:30.572+00:002014-02-25T22:52:30.572+00:00I bet that's the only time you get to disobey ...I bet that's the only time you get to disobey your wife without receiving an earful, ha ha ha. It's heartwarming to hear about how you included your mum in your Valentines treats. It reminds me of an old piece of popular wisdom that I believe to be true "show me how a man treats his mother, and I'll show you how he'll treat his wife". <br /><br />Congratulations of 35 years of marriage. From your avatar and blog, you don't look old enough :)<br /><br />Always good to hear from you Frank.

No...RPD, sorry I am just getting to read this post. Normally, my wife and I do the same thing each year for Valentine's Day. We don't play it up very much. In a nutshell, we do no more than go out to dinner. She says she does not like flowers and orders me not to buy them because they last only a few days, making them a waste of money. The past decade or so, however, I stopped listening to her in this regard. I have a florist deliver her the flowers each year, and she is always happy to receive them. We usually take my mom out to dinner out with us for dinner on Valentine's Day and Mother's Day. That way I have the two special ladies in my life with me. But the past few years mom has declined the offer as she is 75 years old and moving a little slower. Anyway, I enjoy the evening alone with my wife. I'm a very busy person and it's great to be able to slow down the pace, if but for an evening with my wife of 35 years.Frank Kinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07155126596496270174noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5914092373936984359.post-77080617525700201522014-02-21T14:29:59.465+00:002014-02-21T14:29:59.465+00:00Lunch out is good too.

It's a holiday that puts pressure on many people and is a cause for depression for others. My husband and I have seen this first hand being in ministry full-time for over 18 years. We try to be an example to our congregation every day, not parade what we can do for and give to each other on one particular day. Thanks so much for getting the convo started!
