10 Best tips to celebrate Valentine’s Day- Expert Advice

1. Write a Heartfelt Letter:

Pen down an emotional note, expressing your love, and gratitude for your valentine. Writing is an excellent way to express yourself and is therapeutic. One can write a poem, a short story of their love, a short note of love and gratitude, or a lengthy one filled with love and emotions, all in the praise of the partner. Say it with a romantic greeting card, with some handwritten notes. Isn’t that a wonderful way to express it!

2. Create a Memory Jar:

Love is not just a feeling, it’s an emotional journey of two people. If you have been in love for some time, then pen down the special moments that you spent together and put them in this jar. Or make a pot of a collection of your memories, photos, and souvenirs that you collected over a period that are a part of those special moments. This is like revisiting those moments of love that would strengthen the bond. This not only encourages reflection but also serves as a beautiful keepsake that you can revisit in the future.

3. Plan a Digital Detox Date:

Love is not just in the air; it is online mostly! Therapists suggest a digital detox day, where you spend time with each other, just being present at the moment on not making an online presence showcasing your love life on social media. These are distractions that will stop you from indulgence, hampering the quality of the special day. To foster a deeper connection with your partner, keep your digital toys aside, and turn off all the notifications. Take some photos, to create a memory, but don’t be in a haste to post it on social media. that can be done some other day. Plan a date when you both disconnect from devices, allowing for uninterrupted quality time.

4. Surprise with Acts of Service:

Do you have any idea, what your partner likes to eat? Did you ever try your hand at cooking it up for your love? Try this Valentine’s Day! This is a wonderful way to showcase your love and care for your valentine. It doesn’t matter, at what stage of our life are! All that matters is the small act of service, and small gestures to show how much you care for your partner.

A helping hand performing acts of service that cater to your partner’s needs, whether it’s cooking their favourite meal, taking care of chores, or simply offering a helping hand in the kitchen, in the household chores, will help to finish the tasks and will both will be able to bond over some work. And let’s make this a daily habit to help our partner, not just on Valentine’s Day. Because love and care are a commitment for a lifetime.

5. Embark on a Sensory Experience:

How about a candlelight dinner or a spa moment for both of you? Just plan to spend some quality time with a sensory-rich experience. This could involve a candlelit dinner, a long drive to some distant place away from the hustle and bustle of city life, soothing music, or even a massage – creating an environment that encourages relaxation and intimacy. You can make it a surprise thing or talk about it with your partner and plan as accordingly. Sharing some cozy and sensory-rich moments is what matters the most to strengthen the relationship.

6. Explore Each Other’s Love Languages:

Let’s accept the fact, you and your partner are two different people with different love languages. Do you know how your partner speaks in love? Try to explore this Valentine’s Day. Understanding and reciprocating in the same language will help you understand your partner better and strengthen the bond. Therapists always advise couples to understand their love languages. There are a hundred ways to express love. But love is best understood when you say it in the language of your partner. Plan your surprises to your partner’s preferred love language, whether it’s words of affirmation, acts of service, receiving gifts, quality time, or physical touch.

7. Recreate a Nostalgic Date:

Some moments are very special, and just hold a very special place in our memories. Try to recreate the magic of those moments once again, and indulge in nostalgia. Especially for older couples who have been married for the past few years or decades, recreating the moments of their first date, first meeting, with a similar dress, jewelry or planning to take the partner to the same spot of their first meeting is like falling in love all over again for the first time. Take a trip down memory lane by recreating your first date or another significant moment in your relationship. Nostalgia can be a powerful tool in reconnecting and reigniting the spark.

8. Practice Mindful Communication:

Say it the mindful way! In the good old days, word has no place in communication. They had a secret language of communication, that was more mindful, and full of secret codes and gestures. Sometimes, actions speak better than words. In this modern era, where both partners are busy pursuing their careers and dreams, or older couples are busy with children, jobs, and other responsibilities, communication takes a back seat. This leaves a void between the couples. Use Valentine’s Day as an opportunity to engage in mindful communication. Therapists encourage couples to express their feelings openly, listen actively, and validate each other’s emotions without being judgemental. Be there for each other. This is the mantra!

9. Plan a Surprise Getaway:

Just plan a trip to a nearby place, away from the monotony of life. Surprise your partner with a planned getaway or a cozy vacation. A change of scenery, even for a single day, can bring a fresh perspective and inject excitement into your relationship. Spend some cozy moments with each other, bond over a bonfire, some nature walks, or walk on the sand on the sunny pristine beaches. With many resorts around and other recreational hubs, getting a getaway is no big deal!

10. Engage in a Joint Creative Activity:

We are too protective about our personal spaces and interests. How about bonding over some common activities? Come together for any recreational activity exploring each other’s diverse interests. This is an excellent opportunity to understand each other better. Let it be gardening, cooking, helping the underprivileged, or offering a service at an animal shelter, orphanage, etc, there are numerous ways to connect. Collaborate on a creative project together, whether it’s painting, cooking, or crafting. This not only provides a fun and memorable experience but also fosters teamwork and shared accomplishment.

Conclusion:

As the statement says, “Actional speaks better than words”! This Valentine’s Day, think beyond chocolates, flowers, and teddies to impress your loved one. So, go that extra mile with some surprises, or just plan it together. Don’t panic if things don’t go as per your plans. It’s ok. Just continue to bond and love each other, this strengthens the commitment and appreciate each other’s efforts to make that special moment.
