Built on Rock, not Sand
As a married 24 year old guy, the way that I think about Valentine's Day tends to be different than how my friends do. Friends usually respond in one of two ways. The first response generally comes from those who aren't in relationships. They treat the holiday with contempt, scoffing at the day's commercial nature. That is fair, I suppose. Valentine's Day, like most holidays, has been tainted by businesses vying for our dollars. And the truth is, Valentine's Day tries to remind those with nobody that they need someone, and that is a farce.
But my other friends, usually those with significant others, treat the holiday with veneration. It is the holiday for determining a relationship. It may be a good night or a bad night. If one unit of the couple decides that this holiday is important, and the other doesn't, then the one who doesn't might spend time in the doghouse.
But the truth is, no Valentine's Day outing will make your relationship better. No outing will save your relationship.
