Have you ever been asked to make a Christmas list and come up completely empty? Much more serious is voicing to your spouse the ways you believe he or she could show you more love or respect.

Valentine’s Day is one of those special days like Christmas…it’s all about showing love to those who are the most special to us. We know we should love Valentine’s Day and we should look forward to it with great anticipation.
