There is so much hype about Valentine's Day, but I know several people who really don't like to feel forced to celebrate. It feels too commercial or they feel it's too much pressure to be memorable.
I was wondering if it really did communicate love at all anymore or if it was just a day couples felt they needed to celebrate or their partner/spouse would feel left out.
Do you think Valentine's Day communicates love? Or do you feel it's too forced/commercial? Here's a little survey. Please share your thoughts.
1. Do you celebrate Valentine's Day? Why or Why not? 
2. Is Valentine's Day meaningful to you?
3. What would make Valentine's Day meaningful to you?
4. Do you think Valentine's Day really communicates love?
5. Do you believe Valentine's Day is too forced?

My husband and I “celebrate” Valentines day, but it’s more of a casual celebration (dinner and a movie in). If anything I just view it as a reminder of how lucky I am to have him in my life. Life gets so busy sometimes that I think it is good to have times to slow down and just enjoy!

Valentines day is just another day, I want the love from my husband every day and he shows me that he loves me every day, I could never in a million years have a better companion, we have been married since 1993, and I don’t know what I would do without him, he is the love of my life, and my best friend and I know he will always be there for me for better or worse, it is the second marriage for both of us and its the best it could ever be, so for me Valentines day is every day..

That’s a good point. A great reminder, but it should be a habit and not the exception. I agree.

Any day is a good day to share your love. In our busy world we often forget. Valentine’s Day is a good reminder, but should not be the only day.

Very good points, Patti! My dh and I have been married 30 yrs and have never done Valentine’s Day for many of those reasons. I believe also that we should do nice things because it’s the right thing to do (means so much more) rather than we are told we should. Good council for your sons!
