I know you are going to tell me that you know your partner and of course you do. However, you may not know them as well as you think you do once you start living together.
Commercial Valentine cards were introduced in the early 1800's. Today the shops are full of cards, hearts and red roses. February 14th is literally a red letter day! However not everyone will be all smiles as an estimated 190 million cards, text messages and emails are delivered around the world.
For many, Valentine's Day is a day filled with the expectation of love and romance. But for many others, it is just another day of media hype and commercialism. For some it will be a day filled with cards, chocolates, roses and words of love but for many it will be a day tinged with sadness with no red envelope dropping onto the doorstep and no warm glow of love around.
