Happy Valentines Day

It is so wonderful to have such a blissful day set aside in the U.S. to celebrate the affection/love of couples around the world. Nevertheless, I must ask is Valentines Day only one day or every day of your life?

 Have you thought about whether you show your affection to your intimate partner as if it would be the last time you would be in their presence. I wonder if all couples thought this way...would there be a decrease in divorce rates?, domestic violence?; and, perhaps an increase in birthrates, family vacations, and weddings. Love is truly a gift from God...cherish it and be open to receiving it from family, friends, intimate partners/spouses.


LOVE : PATIENCE, KINDNESS, FORGIVENESS, WISE, RECONCILE, KISSES, HUGS, PASSION, INTIMACY, COMPASSION, TRUE. UNITY, SPIRITUAL, UNDERSTANDING, POETIC, SONGS OF SOLOMON
