The significance of Valentine's Day and Valentine's Week

As per the Catholic Encyclopaedia, there used to be three Christian saints by the name of Valentine. One amongst them was a priest in Rome, while another was St. Valentine and the third was a bishop in Terni. Surprisingly all three saints had been martyred on February 14.

During the third century, Valentine who was a priest served the nation during the rule of the Emperor Claudius II. The Emperor decided that unmarried men are best soldiers as compared to a married man with wives and families. For this reason, he banned the marriage of young men. St. Valentine was disappointed with this decision and thought it was biased. Valentine decided to conduct weddings in secret. The Emperor had him thrown in jail and sentenced to death, as soon as he discovered this.

200 years later, 14 February was proclaimed as St Valentine's Day, and this is how across Rome and others, the day is celebrated as Valentine’s Day. By this time, Rome had become Christian, and the Catholic Church was determined to stamp out any remaining paganism. A pagan fertility ritual was held in February each year, and the Pope abolished this festival and proclaimed 14 February Saint Valentine's Day, thus establishing this feast day on the Catholic Calendar of Saints.

The fact that Valentine’s Day brings relationships into focus can be an excellent excuse to take stock of your own.

Relationship experts agree that valuing your relationship, acknowledging it and celebrating the good things about a partner is essential – not only on Valentine’s Day but also on every day of the year.

Just like your physical welfare and finances, relationships need attention and maintenance; this can’t get taken for granted.

Like most aspects of life, when things are going well we fail in our determination towards keeping things that way. Only when things begin to slide, is then that we feel the need to take action, on many occasion, much late to salvage anything.

Conflicts, as well as negative feelings, are typical in relationships. The difference between happy, stable relationships and broken relationships is just the way they manage conflicts from within.

In happy relationships, partners:

•   Don’t let their negative feelings to disrupt their attempts to work out their problems

•   Build up positive attitudes

•   Manage the negatives

•   Repair their connections

•   Support each other’s goals and aspirations.

To make your bond even stronger, you should celebrate your love each day of Valentine's week.

What can be some creative gift ideas for Valentine's Day?

1.   Say it with music.

Dedicate all the romantic songs in a list, send them a playlist via YouTube or Spotify. Share on any platform that is common for you. Pay attention to the lyrics and pick songs that have relevance to both of you; some songs may have upbeat melodies but have heart-breaking words! If you are feeling creative, you may even try to compose your poem.

2. Sweet Treat.

This action calls for confidence and guts! Take out a bundle of Hershey’s Kisses as if it is something you have bought casually. As soon as they “thank you,” reach out for the bag, stop them and say, “Hold on… I’ve got one more thing” then kiss them.

3.   Say it out loud.

Catch them by surprise and say it unexpectedly when they least expect it. Say it while you are both in a queue or while browsing through items in a store. You do not need to wait for the perfect moment to do so — it sounds weird when it happens as if it was unintended or as part of a conversation where you were just expressing your initial thoughts.

4.   Get cooking.

Is it true that the way to a man’s heart is through their stomach? Your ability to cook up a good meal is much attractive and a plus. If you are cooking novice, consult the online recipes. Find creative ways to decorate your food with heart shapes.

5.   Flaunt a surprise publicly.

Plant sign along a path to your preferred date site. Get some help, so you don’t have to do it yourself. Ask the Starbucks barista to consider including a “secret message” below their names. Ask a child to pass them a confession card when you pretend to excuse yourself to the bathroom. Make prior plans with the pub band to play a song you have dedicated, along with your confession message.

This Valentine, make grand plans to do something you never did before. Think out of the box for an exciting Valentine’s season.
