Maybe this is an unpopular opinion…..
But my husband and I have never really done Valentine’s Day.
We’ve been together 15 years. And the big, one day, showy romance thing? Just not really us.
Instead we’ve tried to build something more steady, quieter (well not always 😉).
Connecting on random Tuesday’s. Day dates for no reason. Acknowledging the small things. Having hard conversations. And choosing to appreciate one another when it’s not promoted.
And honestly? I think that’s why our connection FEELS steady. Growing. Safe.
I love that Valentine’s Day exists. Not as a day to be performative in your show of love or affection - but as a reminder.
Don’t save your tenderness, your heart, your wanting and willingness to connect authentically for one day a year.
Sometimes the real magic happens in the ordinary days and moments. 💛
Do you agree?
