Valentine’s Day

Ann from Relationship Wellbeing Specialist

Celebrating Valentine’s Day “right” is a source of stress for many couples.
All of this marketing has made us feel that we suddenly need to conjure bouquets of roses, diamond rings, and “steak dinner with extra shrimp!”
I believe that the best gift you can give your partner is a happy, healthy, and fulfilling relationship.
To help you do so, download the free app Gottman Card Deck, cuddle up on the couch with the Gottman Love Map and Open Ended Question Card Deck.
If you wish to do something special, that’s fine too! Most importantly: relax. This is the first step to enjoying the day. High expectations on Valentine’s Day are a source of conflict in many relationships, so if you wish to celebrate, do it in a way that is comfortable for both you and your partner.
Valentine’s Day should not have you automatically reaching for your wallet – it should be a time to celebrate love with your partner. There’s no price tag on that.
