Valentine’s Day is celebrated all over the world. This event-full day is giving people the chance to show their ample gratitude to their most treasured loved ones. May it be their parents, lovers or partners in life. 

We all celebrate this through giving flowers, chocolates, going out to dinner dates and in any imaginable way just to express our love to the special people in our lives. Most of the people on this very day are in their Romantic mode. All the cheesy, crazy ideas are brought to life just to surprise their partners or to some to make a good impression to get a date.

But, out of this day I began  to think. Why is it that most people only do these things just for one day? Why do we do something special to our loved ones only in a day?

Valentine’s has its own unique meaning, and if we  truly believe in it. Celebrating Valentine’s everyday in our own simple but special way, we can let out loved ones feel that we don’t only let them experience Valentine’s once a year but, the whole year round.

-Tu es belle…(You are beautiful)

2 -Tes cheveux sont magnifiques…(Your hair is beautiful)

3 -Tu sent bon…(You smell good)

4 -Est-ce que tu veux nager nu avec moi?…(Do you want to swim naked with me?)

5 -Veux-tu danser avec moi..(Do you want to dance with me)

6 -Est-ce que je peu t’embrasser?…(Can I kiss you?)

7 -Veux-tu faire l’amour avec moi?…(Do you want to make love with me?)

8 -Veux-tu marcher avec moi dans les sentiers de l’amour?…(Do you want to walk with me in the paths of love?)

9 -Est-ce que tu veux m’épouser?…(Do you want to marry me?)

10 -And the last one, the classical one…Je t’aime…( I love You)

So if you don’t have the car, the money or beauty to impress a woman do it with the words of this romantic language but for the pronunciation you’ll have to look elsewhere

What Does Valentine’s Day Mean

In today’s world, society the meaning of St Valentine’s Day means LOVE.  It’s a celebration of, whereby, men and women treat one another with loving affection; by doing romantic things towards one another.  Baring cards; gifts; meals; chocolates, all this contributes towards some kind of sexual romantic ritual to be alone together; on this special day 14th February, St Valentine’s Day.

How did St Valentine’s Day transpire?  Where did it come from?

All this originates from Pagan and Christian concepts, customs and beliefs.  It had been an attempt to convert Pagan traditions of Sexual festivities worshiping Gods and Idols.  Celebrating Lupercalia (known as the “festival of sexual license”).  On the Feast day of Juno Februata a Roman Goddess of Love (fever), purification and also for women and marriage:  These rituals used be celebrated on the 15th February and got changed to 14th February by ancient Romans done in honour of the Hunter God Lupercus of fertility, light and protection; they believed it would protect them from wolves devouring life stock and people.

How these ceremonies were done, were small pieces of paper with teenage girls names written on them put in a ballot boxes; would be drawn at random by teenage boys.  This would join them together as sexual partners for a year, also joining them in festivities and erotic games throughout Rome for the feast of Juno Februata.  This custom lasted for centuries with the ancient Romans.

The festival Juno Februata had been renamed to that of ‘Feast of Purification of the Virgin Mary’.  The dates were changed by Pope Gelasius from 14th to 2nd of February, then back to the 14th February known as Candlesmas day ‘The presentation of the Lord’ and also known as ‘The Purification of the Blessed Virgin and the feast of ‘The Protection of Christ’.

Christianity was the official religion of the Romans in A.D. 325.  Church leaders wanted to abolish Pagan festivals and ‘Lupercalia’ which was very high on their list. It was not until A.D. 496 the Church of Rome was powerless to rid the festival of ‘Lupercalia’; Instead Pope Gelasius changed the dates from the 15th to the 14th February and called it St Valentine’s Day as mentioned earlier.  (After one of the church’s Saints who had been executed in A. D. 270 by a Roman Emperor for his beliefs).

According to Catholicism it is known three St Valentine’s all of them martyrs.  One a Bishop of Interamna (modern Terni), one a priest at Rome, the other who suffered in Africa with his companions, who is not identified: Several men named Valentine, who had been made Saints, were merged in to one official day, St Valentine’s Day as we know it today.

The church could not totally eliminate ‘Lupercalia’.  So they decided to put names of Saints to be elected to be drawn unsystematically by teenage boys and girls, for them to emulate the Saints life, chosen.  The church saw it as ‘Christianizing it’ from pagan ways. 

Men still practised ‘Lupercalia’ under a water-downed version, by sending woman romantic messages and notes, declaring their undying love, under the name of St Valentine.  Over the centuries by using this method, cards started to evolve at the end of the 18th and early 19th centuries.  These cards would be decorated with painted pictures of flowers; cupid; hearts and even lace attached to them were used instead for St Valentine’s Day.

Where does the actual name Valentine come from?  It derives from a Latin word Valentinus – Valens ‘”to be strong and mighty”‘.  It is portrayed through religious principles from the bible where it is described ‘a man named Nimrod who was mighty and strong hunted before the Lord with a bow and arrow’.

People of the world took on this Roman mythology and used the Latin word Valentinus – Valens in their own native language where they worshiped their own gods. The Romans initially copied Greek mythology.

The Greeks – Lupercus was known as the hunter God.  The Romans – Lupercus was known as the hunter God, and also known as Pan God of light.  The Phoenicians worshipped the same as the Roman and Greeks.  Therefore, their Lupercus was known as Baal, the Sun God.  Baal was one of many different names for Nimrod, ‘A Mighty Hunter, Especially of Wolves, and the list goes on and on.  Out of all of these mythical names of Gods, Cupid the God of desire, affection and erotic love, the son of Venus the Goddess of Love, beauty, sex and fertility arose.  The Pagan devotion for ‘Lupercalia’ developed in to religious Christianity faith; it all progressed from the bible.

All of this when you look through the eyes of Christianity and its beliefs from the bible; ‘.Exodus 20:3 Thou shalt have no other gods before me.  ‘Leviticus 19:18 Thou shalt not avenge, nor bear any grudge against the children of thy people, but thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself: I am the LORD’.  Is not what ‘God’ did; make man in his own image; if you are a believer in God then you would agree.  If you are a Romantic and A lover then you must believe in the God of Cupid (desire), and the Goddess Venus. (Love) to this you would agree, which of these Gods do you believe in?

St Valentine’s Day is all about loving relationships, who you Love and Cherish. Also, if someone admires you would like to get to know you; so you can be loved and can love back.

This poem was written to how I had seen relationships and marriages break down and break up with no reconciliation, due to various circumstances, that destroyed the love between couples.

Valentine Won’t You Be Mine

Valentine! Valentine! Won’t you be mine?

No more lies only but truths.

It does not matter what age you are,

Be it young, be it old

Stand up and be bold.

Don’t let the years roll by,

As time will fly.

Some say love is strong,

People do try to interfere.

Don’t be beaten, don’t break, don’t fear.

Because at last wedding bells you hear.

Valentine! Valentine won’t you be mine.

The day arrives with love, joy and pride,

You the groom, and your bride.

No more mud slinging, No more dirt.

From times that have gone by with hurt.

From people who lied and made trouble,

Out of jealousy, greed that’s a double!

The feelings that are about to be destroyed

Made you the groom and your bride annoyed.

Because the years did not pass

And now you are both happy at last.

Valentine, Valentine won’t you be mine.

Do You Talk?

 It’s important to stay in touch with your partner. Ask them how their day was, see if they have any amusing stories or just shoot the crap about a recent news story you heard. It doesn’t really matter what you talk about, as long as you still enjoy each other’s company. If you or your partner don’t talk very much, it’s likely your relationship needs a tune up.

 Are You Restless?

 In most relationships, couples tend to fall into a routine. Over time they forget what it was that attracted them to their partner in the first place. Restaurants, dancing, moonlit walks and candlelight become a distant dream.

 If you’re feeling restless, irritable or as if you’re missing out on something, it might be time to reevaluate your relationship. It’s important for couples to continue to date, even though they have been together for months, years or decades. Give your relationship a tune up, by getting back to your romantic roots every now and again.

 Arguing

 If you can’t even be in the same room as your partner without walking on eggshells or breaking a few eggs verbally, you may need a relationship tune up. Many couples avoid conflict by saving up real or perceived hurts, instead of being open and honest with one another. Over time, this leads to resentment and arguments.

 It’s important to talk to your partner, and take each other’s feelings into consideration, even though you might not agree with them. Failing to do this is almost sure to lead to a relationship meltdown.

 Player

 If you’re starting to look at other men or women, and wondering what it would be like to date them, your relationship needs a serious tune up. You need to figure out immediately why you’re feeling this way and fix it pronto, before your wandering eyes lead to infidelity.

 If you recognize one or more of these signs in your relationship, it’s time to get a tune up before it’s too late. If you care about your partner, don’t let your relationship crash and burn. 

 The quickest and surest way to ruin her birthday is to forget about it. Don’t buy a gift and don’t mention it, and you’re well on your way to the fight of your life. It’s in your better interest to mark her birthday on a calendar, one you look at often, in order to prevent this sort of disaster from happening. 

Buy a Dumb Gift

 You’ve probably heard horror stories of the guy who bought his wife a vacuum cleaner for their anniversary. If you want to ruin her birthday, try buying her a power tool you’ve been coveting for six months or tickets to the big game. She’ll assume (rightly) that you are a selfish boor, and only think of yourself. Next stop: the couch. Do not pass Go, do not collect…well…anything. 

Invite Someone to Her Party She Doesn’t Like

 If you want to ruin her birthday, invite someone to her party that she’s uncomfortable around. For instance, if you really want to ruin her birthday, invite one of your ex girlfriends to the party or someone she’s feuding with.

 Remember, just because you like the person, doesn’t mean she does. And it is her birthday, so why not try to invite people she likes? 

Treat Her to a McDonalds

 If your motto is, “Go cheap or go home,” there is a very good chance you’re going to ruin your woman’s birthday in the near future. Do not, under any circumstances, take her to McDonalds or Burger King for her birthday. She wants to feel special and loved, and these particular eating establishments do not ooze that atmosphere. Sure, a Big Mac might taste great going down, and your wallet will appreciate you, but your woman will not. Take her out somewhere nice. Show her how special she is and you won’t regret it.

 A woman’s birthday is important to them. They expect you to remember, and the very act of forgetting is seen as a sign that they’re not important enough to you, to remember. Don’t make the mistakes found in this article. Some of them are tempting, but deep down you really don’t want to ruin her birthday, do you?

 Take a walk on the beach. The very idea of a romantic walk on the beach, the moon riding high in the sky while the surf pounds in, will give almost any woman a shiver of delight. Better yet, it won’t cost you a single penny! 

Second Date Idea

 Find the highest point in your city, and watch the stars. If you own a telescope, you could even bring that along. You and your date could watch for falling stars streaking the night skies or just enjoy each other’s company, while the stars glitter in the sky above. It will also give you a great opportunity to talk. 

Third Date Idea

 Go for a hike. If you live near a trail system, you’re set up for this great date idea. You could pack a picnic with the food you already have in your cupboards and refrigerator, and wow her with you thoughtfulness. You could also bike the trail, if you prefer. Along the way, you’ll see some fantastic sights, be able to enjoy the great outdoors and have a wonderful chance to talk to each other. What more could you possibly want for just the cost of food you already have? 

Fourth Date Idea

 This may sound cheesy, but I would bet your date would find it hilarious and entertaining. Set up your own puppet show or skit. You can use things you already own, such as old fabric, socks or scraps of wood. Be creative, take the time to jot down some ideas, and away you go. You could even spruce it up some, by taking your show on the road. Set up a romantic campfire in your backyard and dazzle her with your creative genius! 

Fifth Date Idea

 Read some romantic poetry by candlelight. Create a circle with the candles, and have her sit in the center of your circle with you. She’ll soon be snuggling in your lap, and lauding your sensitivity, and it won’t cost you a single penny.

 Now that you’re armed with five great date ideas that won’t cost a penny, what are you waiting for? Go get her, Tiger!

1. The point in time:

If you really want to make your candle light dinner for two a success, you’ll have to pick the right time. Ring the restaurant if you are not cooking it by yourself, and book a table for a nice evening time, where both of you are quite relaxed and able to enjoy the time together most. You might also hint to the waiter that you’d prefer a “quiet table” a bit away from the busy main circulation corridors. If it’s you who cooks the dinner, make sure that you organise all preparations well in advance, so that you’ll be able to put the dinner on the table at the time desired.

2. The set up

You remember, this is supposed to be a romantic dinner? Romantic has to match the restaurant or the set up of your own dinner table very well. If you pick the restaurant, make sure you know enough about it, that you can put it in the category of being “romantic”, meaning that it has a nice setup, a lovely warm atmosphere (not extremely hectic), and that the food is of good quality, or in other words yummy! If you are setting the table at home, buy and lay out some beautiful napkins with a romantic design, put a bunch of fresh and vibrant looking flowers in a vase, and don’t forget to light some nice candles, when you hear her approach. Two wine glasses including a bottle of your finest white or red wine, as well as a dimmed cozy lighting will complete the romantic setting for this evening.

3. Conclude the evening after your romantic candle light dinner in order to expand the wonderful time by watching a movie together in the cinema, having a nice walk along the river, cuddle up and enjoy each other, or anything that you might deem appropriate. Leave the dishes sitting in the kitchen this time (as long as you don’t rely on SOMEBODY to wash them later). Enjoy the togetherness.

If your bear these few simple things in mind, your evening or night out will be success.

 Everyone is feeling the love. People must love before marriage.But what do you think the right person for your lover? Now, to understand this, try to give information.

Some suggestions for you;

 Reconciling human character, whether or not the person right in front of you. At first, you must understand. After being in love,because it is too late. Also suffer. Take time to learn more. Just do not download the candles on the water. But do not let you.

 Love is never blind your eyes. No surrender to him completely by saving your file. Be careful with love. Do not close the doors of his heart.

 Show your love interest, of course. However, it is waiting. That the value should give it up. If you are not performing in the love of thehand is a problem. You are suffering.

2. Often think about sex
Not just a man who likes to think about sex, women also, only difference is in fantasy woman is her partner. Unfortunately, sometimes at night the weather was too tired and drained of energy to realize his fantasies.

3. Fear of commitment
It is true that women often dream of a romantic wedding, all in white, and coupled with a handsome prince. But she also did not differ much with men, they are also anxious and scared at the thought of commitment. Anything that raises uncertainty does make the heart hesitation. Is this guy going to be a good husband, if our marriage will be happy, and a row of other doubts immediately alighted on the head when talking about marriage.

4. Still need help
Women today are more modern and independent, but somehow the small hearts of every woman needs help and protection from her partner. Fix a car that broke down, has extensive knowledge, or just bring a bag, already make a woman feel more feminine and secure with the him.

5. Want to envy
It was every woman wants to be noticed by the couple and a little envy. It will make a woman feel like a man who needed and loved partner. That is why, when there is another man praise the beauty, we expect the couple to know and show jealousy.

6. Confide in friends
In our liberal friends told me about various things, but not all of it just opened. There are certain things that we still keep it to yourself, especially the very personal nature, such as sadness husband when his parents died, and so on.

7. Like the romantic things
Every woman is basically like things that are romantic or something that can cause the sensation of happiness, like he’s falling in love. So, to repeat the sensation of falling in love is, most women are fans of the movies love or romantic comedy.
