When Valentine’s Day rolls around, couples who just got married, or who have even been married for years, often view it as a holiday for young lovers – those who are dating,
But you, my dear, are newly married…and that is a cause for celebration. I’m sure you have had your share of dates on V-Day all those years leading up until your marriage. But that’s no excuse for just exchanging greeting cards and quick pecks on the cheek. Don’t you dare lose that spark! Keep those V-Days of the past alive and get creative.
You will want to schedule an intimate evening with your partner. And this doesn’t need to involve an exotic trip, expensive jewelry, or even a visit to your favorite restaurant…but go ahead and indulge if you’re feeling up to it.
Staying in? Or headed out? If you prefer a low-key kind of night as a couple, escape with popping some long or short films focusing on love in the DVD player. Give yourselves the type of entertainment that will heal your heart and soothe your soul on this heart-warming holiday.
Why not plan a private, fun, and delicious picnic the two of you can enjoy together? This does require nice, warm weather if you‘re thinking of sitting on the grass…so I guess it depends on what part of the world your love nest resides. There are plenty of other options, including holding your picnic indoors in your very own house, while still organizing it as if you were going to spend some time outside under the trees. Break out a special blanket, an insulated wine tote, and other picnic accessories and think about creative ways to fill them. Make your own appetizers or order food in. Throw some fancy, fluffy pillows down on the floor by the fireplace…sit on some yoga mats with candles lit around…and even throw in the old-school game of Twister to playfully spice things up. Include background music, perhaps something from when you first met or the timeframe in which you were dating. Maybe even include the “first dance” song at your wedding reception.
If you desire an evening out, perhaps a favorite restaurant, Broadway play, or concert of choice will be some options. If you’re a young-at-heart type, embrace the inner-child out and go out clubbing, bar-hopping, or to your favorite karaoke spot. Bring your glow ring pops out with you and light up the dance floor at your favorite DJ’s weekend event.

As a newlywed couple, make a point to bring more cerebral activity into your bond whether your staying on the couch…or hopping in the car for a night out. Pop a documentary into the DVD player instead of watching mindless fluff or go to a lecture or self-development workshop or other thought-(and conversation-) provoking event that is uplifting, positive, and spiritual. Discover your amour in a new light by engaging in something different, and captivating.
The first year being married on special occasions is a stellar time for hanging out in a group setting, which will also enrich your bond. Watching everyone from each entourage mix will be a refreshing experience. A kindred spirit vibe is bound to emerge! How about co-hosting a game night or casual dinner party to bring everyone together? Or get out and join a winter league of co-ed sports. The couple that plays together, stays together…as the old adage goes.
Just make your number 1 priority to enjoy your evening, whether in private or in public, and take some time to think about setting the mood and you’ll no doubt have a memorable time together and even create a new tradition of which you can repeat in the future on holidays, special occasions, and perhaps on another Valentine’s Day.
ALARM! AVOID TIP : And no swinging bats at heart piñatas !…it’s only your first year married! Save the tantrums, if you must have them, for your later years! (Kidding. Ditch the tantrums, your mature and married now, right?)

Besides the usual….Red roses, lush bouquets of flowers, teddy bears, chocolates, candies, candles, gourmet gifts, champagne, jewelry, lingerie (for you), silky boxers (for him)…Here are some romantic gestures for you to give to your guy-for-life:
*Send him a wild flowered bouquet with a personalized note attached.
*Make him breakfast in bed along with some red roses.
*Prepare his favorite dessert and surprise him.
*Make a calendar with pictures of the two of you together.
*Stick some love-notes all over the house at different places for him.
*Purchase front row tickets to watch his favorite sport live.
*Lay down on his chest and hug him like you would never give him away for anything in the entire world.
( Idea found on pin interest )
Take 12 large envelopes … on each one, write the month, so start with February, next March, and so on until you reach next January (2014).
In each envelope you will put a date night in it…whether it’s a nice candle-lit dinner at home, or movies…or something you know he’s always wanted to do or go to…if you decide movies, go get a gift card and stick it into the envelope. Each date you decide on, write a letter as to why you decided to go with that date for that specific month. For instance, gift cards for 2 ski passes to go in March would be ideal. Cover the expenses as much as you can, so at least 1 thing in each envelope is already paid for. You can even stick a menu from a restaurant (if you got restaurant gift cards) or if you have concert tickets, stick a mixed tape of the group’s greatest hits…brochures for an art exhibit or vacation…etc…(you get the picture)…just to give it some extra excitement.
On the 1st of the each month, open up the envelope together. Let him read it and then look at a calendar together and decide which day that month you will plan that date night…or day. This way, it ensures that each month you will be spending time together and doing something special.
Go further into the arms of love by melting into his…
…In honor of your first wedded Valentine’s Day, keep that heart pitter patter-ing! Bring back that old-school, first-falling in love feeling with a classic 90’s movie such as Empire Records. Skip the movie and just go imitate Liv Tyler’s character in the last scene: let your soul mate drag your weak knees and feet in a sweeping motion on a rooftop…dancing and kissing playfully…blasting a soundtrack by Gin Blossoms, whose sound is reminiscent of discovering you have a crush on your high school sweetheart, and whose music echoes the butterflies pouncing around in your stomach.
When somebody makes your heart pitter patter, they are the one for you.
Love is friendship set onfire.
Happily Ever After Never Will End
When you share your life with your Best Friend.
ONCE you believe your life is a fairytale…that is when “ONCE upon a time…” begins.
