Valentines Day is a good day to express how much you love your spouse or loved one.
While I believe that we all need to show love every day, I do know that a lot of people become more romantic and thoughtful on this day. And there are many Valentine’s Day-themed promos and specials.
But our expression of love does not necessarily have to be a grand presentation with fireworks. Because most of the time, it’s the small things and the small gestures that give the loudest shout of “I love you” to our spouses. We just really have to know their love language (words, service, touch, quality time or gifts) and express our love using that language.
So with that, I give you 5 simple ways to say I love you this Valentines Day.
- Prepare a “hearty” breakfast for your loved one. Make your loved one’s Valentine’s Day breakfast a little different from others by creating heart-shaped pancakes and adding some heart-shaped strawberries on the side. I’m sure someone whose love language is service will appreciate this.
- Leave a sweet note in his wallet or bag. While they’re having breakfast, or perhaps while they’re in the shower, slip a sweet note in his wallet or bag (basically any thing they’re sure to open or look at when they’re at out). In your note, tell them you love them and why you do. A variation of this is to sneak a calendar reminder on their mobile phone and type in your love note. If your loved one’s love language is words, this will most probably make them smile all throughout the rest of their day.
- Hug him/her for 20 seconds. I read an article somewhere about hugging your loved one for 20 seconds. Hugging for 20 seconds supposedly releases oxytocin (the love hormone) and makes both huggers feel more loved. Whether or not that’s true, prolonged hugging will make someone whose love language is touch feel loved.
- Give him/her a simple DIY gift. Some people just love receiving gifts — and they don’t have to be expensive. Those whose love language is gifts find more meaning in receiving gifts or tokens especially when they know the giver put a lot of thought or effort into it. Pinterest would be a great place to find ideas for this.
- Surprise him/her with a movie date night. Spend some quality time with your loved one over a romantic movie. Here’s a quick date night checklist to help you get ready:
Bring excitement back to date night in with a trio of premium textures including creamy gelato, luscious sauces and gourmet toppings. Breyers Gelato Indulgences are all you need to have a grown-up night in with your sweetheart.
