Valentine’s Day is a day of love, gifts, chalky candy hearts and cards. It’s about new love, first dates and butterflies in the stomach. However this can be a holiday for married couples as well. Whether it’s rekindling the magic or just showing a significant other how much they mean on the day of love, married couples can have just as much fun on Valentine’s Day.
Little Gifts to Say “I Love You”
Make a list of everything about a spouse that is loved, cherished and appreciated and give them little cards each day with a few of those things written on. Leave the cards on the car seat or in a packed lunch for the spouse to find during the day.
The same can be done with memories. The cards will be a walk down memory lane when thoughts are conjured up of a first date, the proposal, the honeymoon, and other personal romantic memories.
Romantic Songs
A lot can be said through songs that can not otherwise be put into words. That perfect song that reminds people of their wedding day, first kiss and the first time they fell in love with their spouse.
Whether a person already has an mp3 player or a spouse needs to buy one as an extra gift, load it with songs the significant other will love. Put the song on their that was played at the wedding, the song that will always remind them of each other, fun songs and their favorite songs. If there is a loss for romantic songs to put on there, here is a list put together by some National Public Radio music experts:
“Big Kiss” by Carrie Rodriguez
“A Time for Love” by Abbie Lincoln
“I Just Want to Make Love to You” by Muddy Waters
“Luiza” by Antonio Carlos Jobim
The spouse will be excited not only because the mp3 player is new but that it’s already loaded with a few great songs. And if they already own an mp3 player they will be surprised to find news songs on it when it’s given back to them with a bow.
Date Night
Don’t underestimate the power of dinner and a movie, even when married. When all the young couples are going out on their first date on Valentine’s Day, a married couple can be basking in the night of the romance as well.
Recreate the first date or the night of the proposal. Get all dressed up and remember the magic of whatever night is being recreated. Go to the restaurant at the same time, sit at the same table, listen to the CD that refreshes that moment. Experience those important moments all over again.
