You see it in the stores, in the magazines, on TV, in the mall, it seems you cannot escape it?. Valentine?s Day! The day for Romance, and Love has been so commercialized. It sure put pressure on everyone, not just singles but couples as well. The need to perform, the desire to out do oneself, sometimes pushes some of us to some extravaganzas. The truth is if you have a nice, nurturing relationship, no matter what you do, you will have a wonderful day on Valentine?s. If you relationship is rocky, no matter what you do, your day can go either way. Valentine?s Day brings the blues for a lot of people. It is almost as bad as Christmas.
