Valentine's Day Horror

When couples begin to date or their first hangouts, unrealistic romantic expectations are not the best. Should that relationship survive into a marriage or prolonged dating, those expectations become real desires.
Dont start what you cant finish/continue. 
If you always buy her roses during this time of the year, just because the ring is on the finger now you feel it's no longer necessary. Instead dont start it.

Some people are so afraid of being alone at this time of the year. The fact that you're single or just alone on Valentine's day doesn't mean you cant treat yourself to something sweet. Dont forget, if you dont LOVE yourself first how can you love anyone else?

"He does everything for me and buys me lovely things but I still don't feel loved! why?"   According to Dr Gary Chapman, we tend to give and receive love through different means, the way you express love may not be the way your partner feels it so read the 5 languages of love to help your partner understand what matters the most to you and identify theirs as well.

He had no doubt in his mind she was the one he would settle down with so one Christmas afternoon he proposed to her and she accepted; perfect right? This is where the story begins. As like most couples, the first few years were so romantic and they shared everything; laughter, tears, they had no secrets and they knew each other inside out. Time is like the wind and as it passed the realities of life took control of their marriage. First of all, she was facing difficulty having a child, no problem cause he stood by her in it all.

Every time its's Uju's husband's birthday, she buys him lovely expensive cards; Uju loves cards more than any gift you can get her so she buys him cards. Uju's husband Tommy loves sports wristwatches so much, there's something about those watches that just catches his attention wherever he goes so on Uju's birthday, he buys her sports wristwatches. No harm is meant here, just an innocent misunderstanding. Each partner loves the other so much that they are afraid to hurt their feelings by telling them those gifts aren't really what they would like so they just say "thank you darling".
