While Valentine’s day is not a big thing in our house it is still nice to take some time and be intentional with the one you love, the one you have chosen to do life with. This past weekend Beautiful and I made a progressive meal after the boys went to bed and talked to each other while we enjoyed crab cakes and sauteed mushrooms. We sat in the kitchen taking turns cooking the next dish and making our way through a bottle of wine and we had a great time.
As with any made up holiday people observe in different ways but even if you don’t buy into the Valentine’s day story at least take the opportunity to really be present with your partner. The flowers and chocolates and jewelry are nice and all but the real gift is in the time spent together with no other distractions. Being intentional about listening and engaging means a whole lot more to the structure of your relationship than that perfect bouquet.
