Your Valentine’s Day To-Do List from the Gottman Institute: 

Say “I love you” to your partner today.

Tell your partner specific things you love and appreciate about them. 

Make your partner feel special with small gestures, such as surprising them with flowers, giving them a back massage, or gifting them their favorite candies.

Ask your partner an open-ended question about their work, friends, or hobbies. 

Communicate to your partner how proud you are of them and your relationship. 

Surprise your partner with a special way to celebrate the day!

If you’re someone who hears “Valentine’s Day” and cringes, use this day as an excuse to have a low key date and stick to a cozy night in together instead. Just be sure you’re 100% focused on each other!
