Is this your first Valentine's Day together as a married couple? If so, make sure that you share your expectations with one another NOW!

Romance Test

This day can be the first real test of how much you intend to keep the romance alive in your marriage. If the day just comes and goes without recognition of your love for one another, one of you will probably be very disappointed.

You don't have to spend a lot of money to make this a special day. It's nice if you can afford to go out on a date, but it isn't critical to making Valentine's special for your lover.

The important thing is to not forget your spouse on Valentine's Day!
