Do you need Valintine's Day to express your love?

I find Valentine's day as just another holiday created by the corporations to make big bucks. Who needs Valentine's day anyway. I love T and she loves me. Thats all that counts. Now I do buy something for my kids on Valentine's day. But I will buy T some candy, because I know she loves Godiva. And I will take her to dinner as well. She would appreciate that very much.

I agree with you Sarah.. It is not actually important for the people who are already with someone... However, yesterday, someone told me that if I am in love with someone then I could propose her on 14th this month, because that day no one thinks bad of it... I am not sure... What do you think, is it a good day for those who are yet to propose???

i think that every day is valentine day so dont need to wait 14feb,,,,, enjoy ur lifes every moment with ur partner,,dont wait or loose...

I am not one of those people who are looking forward to February 14th besides who invented “valentines’ day” huh? It is just like Christmas day. People share and give love every Christmas day and after that event, they are going back to the old ways. People become friendly with their enemies and after that event, they have already forgotten what they did during Christmas. Ha ha. We could give love every day to the people even if without those events like Christmas and Velentines. I think Catholic church invented those events in the society.

I don't sit around counting down the days till Valentines day. But when it comes around like any other holiday where you can give someone a gift besides there birthday. I kind of look forward to it. Its a day to be really creative and not give darn what others might think and how corny you might be to give something. Yeah any day can be Valentines and I do have those days where its not Valentines day and we get to do something sweet and kind for each other. But hey I have a kid there isn't too much time for romantics any more so any excuses we can get to just be the two of us we certainly want to take it. I know it might sound wrong but what can I say I like to have alone time outside of the house if I can. We also try to do something special for the little ones since little kids get really into making someone smile outside of the family.

Hi., Valentine's Day is necessary for lovers for celebrating their love with each other, But not for expressing their love. Every relationship has particular day to celebrate like mothers day, children day etc. In Same way the lovers need one day to celebrate their love and lovable memory. It will improve better relationship with each other. I think that we need Valentine's Day to celebrate our love.

I live in Australia so we don't really celebrate it but some young people like to get involved with it, I guess it is a nice feeling when someone does send you something but I am a deep thinker so I would rather someone give me something just because he wants to rather than because he feels he has to.

I have a bloke who wouldn't remember Valentine's Day even if I tattooed it on his forehead. Thankfully, that's no problem for me. I know he loves me, and I hope he realises I love him.

Such days are new things that never existed in my younger days.It just shows how the world has changed and how fast paced our life has become that we have even forgotten to include love in our daily routine and that we have to be reminded of it on a particular date and day. No, for me such days and there are many of them today like Mothers and fathers day etc, are just dates in the calendar.We should incorporate these days everyday in our lives and make them a regular part and parcel of our lives.Once we do it then we need not have to fix a particular date.

I think that it's a wonderful thing to feel cared for and loved everyday versus once a year. I can see why it is a special day for those that have only that..so maybe it is a rare and great thing..but I am one that knows life is short and a year can be a long time to feel cared for.

I'm with you on this one sarah! Expressing love should be an everyday thing. We don't need a single date to symbolize this. In fact, I've always thought that greeting card companies just made this day up. If buying cards, candies, or floweers were spread out through out the year, it would be less stressful for guys!

I think it's shocking to hear about couples who only ever express their love for one another in abundance on this particular day alone. Surprisingly, there are quite a few relationships like that and it's kind of upsetting. I like what you have said as well. When you are very much in love with someone, there is a constant need to let them know it every single day, every single minute even if you're that type of person. I know I am that way, as is my fiance. We let each other know how we feel all the time, not just on Valentines Day. It's just nice to celebrate it I think :)

No I not need any day for express my love for my hubby. I always told him I love you and some time I got replied I too. I think now new generations express their fake love in 14th Feb. and after some days break up also. Few boys and girls are in the world those really love to each other.

Hubby and I celebrate Valentine's Day very casually, normally by going out to eat. We have never exchanged gifts or cards for any occasions, since his family never did. This could be because they were unable to because of the political situation in their country. I doubt if they even celebrated Valentine's Day in Serbia, so it would not have been a part of his culture. Although my family always made a big fuss over holidays, I've learned to accept the fact that it's not important to him, and he would really just be going through the motions to humor me. But he frequently says he loves me and shows it in many ways daily. It's not about presents and cards, after all. A lot of people send presents and cards when love isn't really in the picture.

no because my hubby and i have been sending each other free ecards every week day just to let each other we are thinking of them. we have been doing this for years. there are not too many days we miss. it is good because it is free and easy.

You're right. I think that Valentine's Day is sort of a hallmark holiday. A guy might buy his gal roses on Valentine's Day, but I think it would be more meaningful if he just bought them for her on any random day, just to say "I love you". Seems a little more romantic than doing it on a day where everyone is supposedly celebrating their relationships...

We view the same thing with that. Valentine's Day is just a day made to give special love and attention to people. But, you don't need to wait for that day to express how much you love that special person in your heart. Everyday should be like a Valentine's Day for the both of you.

I agree w/ your thoughts on this one hundred percent. This is exactly how we all should feel. Why take one day out of the year to express how we feel about each other? What do we do when the holiday is over? Go back to hating each one another or fighting about stupid meaningless things? No. I think if you love someone you should tell that person every day of their lives. If you want to express your love for them, great do it. Don't wait for a holiday that only comes around once a year because who knows what that following year will bring. As my Mom used to say "here today, gone tomorrow." Tell them now how you feel. Don't wait for tomorrow because anything could happen by tomorrow & you might not get another chance to tell that person just how much you love them.

Hi! I don't look forward much for that day.It is a pagan practice. We can really show our love for our loved ones any time. We must not waste time but we must show it everyday. I have a funny experience on valentines day though and up to now we still laugh about it.:)

No, I don't. I think love should be expressed all the time. But Feb 14th is a day that celebrates love and also friendship. However it were wrong if you only at this day show your feelings of love. Always it is nice if one brings some flowers for his girlfriend.
