So here we go again. Sure, if you’re in a long-term healthy relationship you don’t have much to worry about with today being Valentine’s Day and all. You can just sit back on your couch, flip through the TV and laugh at everyone else spending their time and money on the most Hallmark of all holidays.

The idea is to enjoy a little activity and get those endorphins flowing to leave you both in loving moods.

So head over there and take notes, gents. No matter how small you may try to make the big day, it’s never as easy as it seems. Good luck, everyone!
