It’s that time of year when you see red everywhere…V-Day aka Valentine’s Day. Many have already looked in their bank accounts to see how much money they have to spend on their mate. Some have decided to go big, while others will go light simply with the card and flowers. And let me say that there is nothing wrong with either…especially coming from the heart.
Now what if you could throw in some extra gifts for free that would truly set things off. Now please notice I said “extra.” Don’t think I’m trying to say not to buy your mate a gift…unless you know he or she will be okay with that (your judgment call). Here are a few gifts you can give that should cost you only time and some thought.
1. A Love Prayer. Take a few minutes to bow your head with your mate and pray. Make the prayer all about love…love for your mate, love for your relationship, love for your family. Make it all about the two of you and what you share as a couple.
2. A Love Letter. For those that are not comfortable praying aloud, this may be a fit for you. Now I know you can write. Even if you go back to the roses are red and violets are blue, make the rest of it your own. Note: Do not type the letter…use a pen and paper.
3. Sex. Put the kids to bed early so they are in a deep sleep and close the doors. Then go ahead and make the man in your life happy on this day. That’s probably all he wants (no card needed).
There you have it. Three simple items that hopefully are easy for you to do with your mate. Enjoy the moment…enjoy the atmosphere…enjoy each other.
