Valentine's Day Stress Question

This was asked on another blog by another blogger and I thought I'd post my responses to you...

IN A COUPLE OF WEEKS VALENTINE'S DAY IS COMING AND I WAS WONDERING THIS: IS THIS HOLIDAY SUPPOSE TO CATER TO JUST THE WOMEN OR SHOULD IT BE LABELED AS A COUPLE'S HOLIDAY. SHOULD MEN ALSO RECEIVE GIFTS AS SIGN OF AFFECTION OR SUCH FROM THEIR LADIES ON THIS DAY? WHAT MADE IT A DAY FOR JUST THE WOMAN? AND IF THAT IS POSSIBLE, LADIES WOULD YOU DO SOMETHING NICE FOR THE MEN AS OPPOSE TO THE MEN DOING NICE THINGS FOR YOU.

IS THIS HOLIDAY SUPPOSE TO CATER TO JUST THE WOMEN OR SHOULD IT BE LABELED AS A COUPLE'S HOLIDAY.

val day is a holiday as a reminder to couples. its kinda like christmas. just like you don't wait until the day to celebrate Jesus, you shouldn't wait til Val day to celebrate the person who completes you.

SHOULD MEN ALSO RECEIVE GIFTS AS SIGN OF AFFECTION OR SUCH FROM THEIR LADIES ON THIS DAY?

you (men) should also receive something

WHAT MADE IT A DAY FOR JUST THE WOMAN?

because men have grown lax on their appreciation and by the time val day comes around they are so stressed about what to give her they figure if they just throw something big at her she'll forgive them for not doing anything else for the rest of the year. if men had been on their jobs in the relationship, they'd see if they at least thought of her once a week (just 52 times out the year) they wouldnt' have so much to worry about the rest of the year. (I'll also admit that women do this too.) (Jezz people 52 times at that bad or that much to obligate yourself to do. quit being lazy and neglectful in your relationship!)

AND IF THAT IS POSSIBLE, LADIES WOULD YOU DO SOMETHING NICE FOR THE MEN AS OPPOSE TO THE MEN DOING NICE THINGS FOR YOU.

its a two way street. stop neglecting each other and you wont' get all stressed out about this time of year.
