is valentine's day really just for lovers or couples?

Valentines are traditionally for lovers and couples but since you mention it, I'm planning a dinner date with my husband and daughter. I would love my daughter to see how happy we are together and that she is part of our happiness...I think its also important to let our children see how important we are to each other so that they will learn to value the love that they might found when they grow up. Exposing them to family love during valentines may also help us change the idea that this is for lovers and couples only. :)

no it is for all lovers that means if anybody loves their parnets are friends and relatives whatever they must n love so it is the day for lovers so any body enjoy it

I totally agree with you!!! Mom always gets Becky and I something for Valentine's Day. I like your point about your anniversary. That is your day. I think Valentine's Day is whatever you make of it. I believe it's important to involve the entire family in the celebration.

valentine day really meant for religious peolple becoz it come from name of saint velntino augustine .

I think that's a good idea to involve the kids. I know my kids and I are going to make Valentines cards for the family together. Maybe we'll start a little tradition of our own to do something special together on that day. That would be really nice.

I think Kids enjoy the holidayjust as much as adults. I think its wonderfull, holidays arent just for adults, we do valentine with our kids then after bed time set aside some romentic time for us.

I like that! I think it's a great idea! I think anything that lets our kids know how much we love them and how special and important they are, the better! There seems to be so many angry kids when they get to be teens and older.. and so much crime against children, that I think we should do as much as we can to keep them safe and feeling safe. I don't mean to be a gloomy gus, I'm just very concerned for children in our world of today, and so an idea like yours, to me, is great! I'm thinkin' too, that valentine's is a good time to send a little card to just about anyone! Using it to tell someone we care.. like an Aunt.. or friend, etc.. It doesn't have to be a "be my valentine" of course! :)) just a "thinking of you" card, or even a heart sticker!

I think that is a brilliant idea and so sweet of you to think of. Your children will certainly appreciate to I think. After all, like you said they are part of your love story too. what kinds of things will you do?

Although it probably isn't how Valentine's Day was originally conceived, I feel that Valentine's Day is a great time to let ANYONE know how special they are to you! I have always given a little something to my children on Valentine's Day. Afterall, I love them dearly! I used to have a wonderful boss, I once got her a single rose and put on the card, "Thanks for being a great mentor and friend." It is a great day to show anyone a little extra attention!
