Happy Valentine's Day!!

[bmw633]

For me, Christmas and Valentine's Day, two days that have been commercialized by retailers, have been very stressful for me with Western women, who expect me somehow have mind-reading capabilities to know exactly what they want and expect for the perspective holidays, and if I did not, hell to pay.

My Filipino wife is much different, thank the Lord. I paid for candy and flowers, let her pick what she wanted at the florist and store, and was thrilled. Less money spent, and NO STRESS.

Having such a virtuous and sweet wife is such a blessing, and relief, as well.

Awwwwhhhh. Thanks, @bmw633. Happy V day to you too. I knew you cared.

We don't do anything big in our house. Kids make hand-made cards and we might get a family activity to do together as a gift (making a special dinner together or watching a movie). My wife isn't big on commercialism.

My Filipino wife is much different,

You guys need some special Valentines balut. Happy wife, happy life.

Aloha!

I bought my wife a giant bouquet of flowers and a fancy box of handmade chocolates.

I don't mind doing it, I don't stress about the commercialization, about the cost, or about any male feminist argument about the supposed unfairness.

There are a lot of things that I as a man like her to do and she does them. She was up early this morning to have the children dressed properly for church. She's working a professional job and still finds time to bake most of our bread, home school the children and put proper dinners on the table nightly, with wine, good tablecloths, the good china, all of it.

I'm happy to show her she's appreciated. I can understand why some men who are married to lazy harridans might feel like its a rip off to buy such women flowers.

Still volcell, nothin's changed on this front. If the women from my homeland are better, then I may turn out better next year. God Bless.

I browsed /r9k/ for a few minutes since this is a special occasion. I'll just pray as I usually do since church probably isn't open today, because in my country we have a different holiday for this and it's months later.

I also dont mind to buy something. I order from a very nice flower shop big flower bouquet delivered to the door and my wife likes it a lot. After work she will cook me my favourite dinner and thats it.

As Christians, we need to spread education and awareness about the true spiritual significance of February 14th, on the commemoration of St. Valentine who became a martyr for the cause of marriage.

Putting the Saint Back in St. Valentine's Day, Did You Know?: Monastery Icons

According to Hallmark Cards, each year on Valentine's Day more than 163 million cards are exchanged - a quarter of all the cards that are sent in a year. How did the name of a third-century Christian martyr become linked with an annual celebration of romantic love? Let's explore the history of...

In my country, February 14th just becomes yet another excuse for lasciviousness and a day of mockery towards single people.
