Thoughts for Valentine’s Day
A recent study said that most men prefer love over money and health. I’m willing to bet that most women prefer guys who aren’t poor and sick. Still, this might explain the barrage of ads aimed at making men prove their love with plants and trinkets that jumped tenfold in value just before today. How many guys felt that pressure? How many felt obligated on this one day to shower their loved ones with flowers, candy, jewelry and other assorted gifts? Yes, there’s nothing like the pressure of television and businesses to make you act out of guilt instead of out of love.
As for me, I don’t celebrate Valentine’s day per se. And yet my girlfriend is still happy. My secret? Start out by consistently treat your woman with respect and honor. After that, give them gifts and tokens of your affection when they least expect it. If you do things right, every day is like Valentine’s day, just without the naked, armed, chubby cherub. Your relationship can go a long way when you give in the spirit of love rather than guilt. I don’t know why. My guess is that this confirms to a woman that she is indeed someone very special — and not special in the Olympic sense. Although if you surprise her with a perfect Valentines-type day, there will be such an endearing look of innocent joy in her eyes that any child would be envious of her love-filled gaze.
Yes, I know we guys are often more practical than romantic and you really can’t put a price on the emotion of love. (However, you can put a price on all its accessories.) So consider that giving without the hope of reward can have very real, practical returns. Love is like a fire. You want to make sure that it builds to warm the heart instead becoming a destructive power that ends up burning down the house … or trailer. But don’t take my word on this. Just pick up a newspaper and tell me if I’m wrong. Happy Valentine’s!
