Valentine’s Day is celebrated every year all over the world. It is an occasion that is expected to strengthen the love and intimacy that exists among married couples.
People have expressed different opinions about how this yearly event that is absolutely dedicated to love and romance began. Some have traced its origin to St. Valentine, a Roman who was martyred for refusing to give up Christianity.
Others believe that it started in the time of the Roman Empire. This may be true because St Valentine approachflung flowers and notes up at his window.
One of these young people was the daughter of the prison guard. Her father allowed her to visit Saint Valentine in his cell. Sometimes both of them would sit and talk for several hours. She helped him to keep his spirits up. She agreed that he did the Saint Valentine left his friend a little note, thanking her for her friendship and loyalty. He signed it, “Love from your Valentine.”
The whole world believed that that note started the custom of exchanging love messages on Valentine’s Day. It was written on February 14, 269 A.D, the day that Saint Valentine died. Now, every year, people remember the sacrifice that he made on this day. More important, they think about love and friendship. And when they think of Emperor Claudius, they remember how he tried to stand in the way of love, and they laugh because they know that love cannot be defeated!
Valentine’s Day, otherwise called ‘lovers day’, is celebrated every February by giving flowers, gifts and cards to those we love. We do this in honour of Saint Valentine. The event is synonymous with the mutual exchange of love notes in the form of ‘Valentines’.
Modern Valentine symbols include the heart-shaped outline, doves, and the figure of the winged cupid. In the U. S. greeting card associations estimate that approximately one billion valentines are sent each year worldwide, which makes it the second largest card-sending holiday of the year, beside Chirtmans. The association estimates that, in the US, men spend twice as much as women on Valentine’s Day.
Gradually, February 14 became the date for exchanging love messages and St. Valentine became the patron saint of lovers.
The world’s most expensive Valentine’s Day card was dated back to 1790. The intricately designed card, filled with heartfelt messages would fetch up to £4,000, if auctioned today. It is currently housed at the British Postal Museum and Archive and its keepers have no intention of selling it. The card is a handmade puzzle that unfolds to reveal poetic messages - a far cry from the short notes written in today’s Valentine’s cards.
On the outside of the card, the inscription reads:
”My dear the Heart which you behold, Will break when you the same unfold, Even so my heart with lovesick pain, Sure wounded is and breaks in twain.”
The effect of Valentine’s Day on the sexuality of your partner cannot be over-emphasized. One of the best ways to receive the best sex ever known between married couples is to give your spouse an unforgettable gift, this valentine. A spouse’s gift is like a rare gemstone; no matter how your partner looks at it, he or she will see love, romance and beauty reflected in it. When couples exchange love gifts at Valentine, such gifts are often well appreciated and treated as special. Giving gifts this valentine day is the best way to express your love and receive from your spouse the best sexual treat that you can ever imagine.
The soul of intimacy is giving and sharing. And while giving and sharing gifts this season, let it be voluntary, not by compulsion or obligation. Remember, the spirit of Valentine’s Day requires you to give thoughtfully and the best gift that you can give to your spouse is ‘yourself’. So give your spouse a surprise gift that is beyond his or her expectation. It may be something that he or she has been longing to have for a long time. For instance, saying ‘I love you’ in a special way or taking your partner to a unique spot and making love to him or her there will definitely go down the memory lane.
The fact is that we feel loved when we receive gifts and it is heart warming when we know that at least one special person in the whole world cares about us. Valentine’s Day gifts are very important, especially when we know the need of our partner.
When you present a gift to your partner on Valentine’s Day, you are saying to him or her ‘Your are my best’. The gift, no doubt, will not only attract his or her attention, it would strengthen the sexual intimacy and fellowship that you enjoy in the relationship. Apart from that, it helps to maintain the tide of erotic feelings between both of you.
In a nutshell, a gift to your partner is just saying to him or her, ‘l was thinking of you in all ramification of oneness, sex inclusive’ You can give a flower, perfume, lingerie, boxers, valentine ring, movie tickets, perfumed candles, et cetera. Just imagine what you want to give and do it.
Have a happy Valentine’s Day.
