Tips for a Great Valentine’s Day
F
or a holiday intended to celebrate love, Valentine’s Day has a complicated legacy; according to Psychology Today,
couples are more likely to break up in the weeks surrounding the day. Why? Experts say unrealized or unreasonable
expectations or comparisons to past celebrations can make what on any other day would be just fine a disappointment.
Another reason, psycholo-
gists say, is because
Valentine’s Day tends to add
even more pressure on cou-
ples who are already strug-
gling. They want to make it a
perfect night to prove to
themselves they’re not having
problems, or they find their
negative feelings intensified
by the day’s events.
To make Valentine’s Day a
great opportunity for a big,
romantic gesture of love or a
quiet reminder of why you’ve
been together as long as you
have, plan ahead, know what
you both want and give your-
self a chance to have a fun
day with your partner.
Make reservations as far in
advance as possible. This
isn’t just for restaurants and
hotels either; line up a
babysitter as soon as you can.
If you wait until the last min-
ute, your options will be lim-
ited.
Talk to each other. Make
sure you know each other’s
expectations and you know
what your partner wants.
You’ll have a much better hol-
iday if you plan your festivi-
ties together. Do either of you
want flowers delivered to
your office or breakfast in
bed? Tell each other before-
hand.
Don’t go overboard on
spending. It’s easy to max out
your credit card on flowers,

chocolate, dinner out, a lim-
ousine or whatever grand
plans you have. Figure out
your budget and find creative,
fun and romantic ways to
maximize your resources.
Turn off your phones. It’s
hard to disconnect complete-
ly (especially if you have kids
at home with a babysitter),
but do the best you can to
silence your phone. Ignore
