We want to be spoiled on Valentine’s Day
Speaking on behalf of all women, I am making it crystal clear to all husbands and boyfriends that we like to be spoiled on special occasions, such as Valentine's Day, which is tomorrow.
Your partner may say she does not care about being treated any differently or getting gifts from you, but the chances are she is just being polite.
The truth is, it matters.
Making an effort to show your special someone that you appreciate them is an important part of actually keeping them in your life.
It is logical if you think about it; humans, in general, constantly seek acknowledgement for the things we do in order to feel fulfilled from doing it, and to continue doing it.
Ever since we were children we were taught to be motivated by being praised with a golden star on our foreheads and teachers telling us the pictures we drew were pretty.
Yes, Valentine’s Day might be another money making-gimmick and yes, I agree with the people who say they do not need a special day to express their feelings for their loved ones because they believe it should be done daily.
However, I think this one day that is set apart as a special opportunity to thoroughly remind your partner of your appreciation for them should be grabbed.
A lot of money does not necessarily have to be spent.
A box of chocolates hardly costs a fortune and small gestures like breakfast in bed with a flower picked from the garden, or a few more hugs and kisses than usual, will only take a bit of effort.
The reason why I am particularly focusing on women is, since being one and observing those within my social circles, I know that we can be a stubborn species who, other than most males, often find it difficult to believe our partner when he simply says something without it having taken any effort.
Investing your time, effort and sometimes money, in a woman assures us that we are well-earned and worth it to you, which will probably have her wanting to do even more for you.
You are guaranteed to brighten up her day, even if she really did not expect it from you, and if you really love her that will please you (win-win).
You can then continue notifying her of your love for her the normal way every other day.
Chances are you will be scoring a chocolate too. TB
