10 Creative Valentine’s Day Ideas for Couples

It’s the Love month and Saints Valentine day is fast approaching, it’s important to make your spouse or partner feel special on this day, but sometimes personal spending limitations can put a damper on the best of intentions.

 “I like not only to be loved, but also to be told I am loved.” - George Eliot. Valentine’s Day is the occasion when you can experience both.

Here are some creative ways to tell your spouse, “I love you.”

1) Make a book about why you love your spouse and why you are thankful for him/her. 

2) If possible, go on a date with your spouse to a restaurant that you enjoyed when you first met. After you order your meal, take some time to write down favorite memories from the past year. Then share your lists.

3) Make a meal with symbols of love. Examples: Write I love you with grains of rice; make a tart in the shape of a heart

4) Hide little heart candies in your spouse’s shoes, suits, car, bags etc. 

5) On individual note cards, write why you love your spouse. Insert these cards in a small photo album. 

6) Read a love poem to your spouse.

7) Fill a large box with helium balloons and special gifts for Valentine’s Day.

8) Privacy and weather permitting, watch a romantic movie on a rooftop or yacht.  

9) After your spouse goes to bed, tape notes to his car’s steering wheel with reasons that you love him, or decorate the bathroom mirror with lipstick kisses or Valentine’s window clings.

10) Make a special “14 Reasons I Love You” Valentine’s Day breakfast for your sweetheart. On his/her plate, leave a letter or card listing 14 reasons that you love your spouse.

Have fun this February 14, and remember: Love is not meant to be given and received just  on Valentine’s Day. Instead, it’s to be practiced every single day of the entire year.
