Valentine's Day Gift Ideas For Married Couples
For young dating couples that are still experiencing the passion
and all-encompassing rush of new love, Valentine's Day can hold
great importance. Impressing someone with elaborate gifts can be
one way of telling the person that you are dating that you think
they are special, and that you have great hopes for the
relationship. Valentine's Day gifts in this stage of a
relationship can tell people a lot about each other, and can be
a good indicator of where the relationship may be headed.
What about people who have been married for a while?
For married couples Valentine's Day isn't less important...just
different and, in many ways, better. It is a time to celebrate
love and reminisce about all the Valentine's Days that you have
spent together. Gifts given on Valentine's Day to a spouse can
have much more significance, because you should know your spouse
well enough to give something that has special meaning. A
diamond anniversary band or three stone ring given to a wife
tells her that you are glad that you married her and that you
value your life together. A gold watch given to a husband tells
him that you appreciate him and want him to have the very best.
Married couples don't have to give elaborate gifts on
Valentine's Day; a meaningful gift that says you care or a sweet
gesture of love are just as special. When you are married, the
thought that is put into the gift is the important factor. A
jewelry gift that says "I know you, and I know what makes you
happy" goes a long way toward making someone feel that they are
special and valued. If your wife likes heart shapes then giving
her a diamond heart pendant or bracelet with heart-shaped charms
can mean much more to her than simply handing her a gold chain.
It shows that you know what she likes, you listen to her, that
you put thought into the gift. Jewelry that celebrates each
other's individuality as well as the life that you have made
together can be priceless, no matter what the actual cost.
Giving your spouse something they have been considering buying
for a while is a good way to show your love. To come up with an
original Valentine's Day gift think about what is important to
your spouse; what makes him or her happy. Does your husband love
to golf? Give him a gift certificate for a round of golf at his
favorite course. Does your wife love classical music? Tickets
for a night out to see the symphony let's you plan a second
night to spend together. A gift of jewelry is a lasting reminder
of this Valentine's Day and your relationship - and jewelry is
always appreciated. And don't forget about giving flowers - they
may seem traditional but flowers brighten a winter day and are
romantic. One of the reasons that successful marriages stay that
way is because the spouses try never to take each other for
granted, and the right gift on Valentine's Day can go a long way
in proving your commitment to that ideal.
