Whether you’ve been together for two months or 20 years, your first date was surely a smoking hot oven. Even if it was a comedy of errors, it still ignited something!

Date Night

  3. Surprise your partner: If you can, try to plan a few surprises for your partner throughout the evening. This could be something as simple as a special gift or a surprise dessert, or something more elaborate like a scavenger hunt.

Recreating your first date can be a fun and romantic way to celebrate Valentine's Day, and a great opportunity to relive the magic and love that started it all.

5. Couple’s Vision Board


Talking about and planning the future together is a great sign that you are in a healthy relationship. It is also a great way to bond on a deeper level as well. Take this day to sit together and plan the rest of the 365 days full of fun and adventure. Sometimes to complete a bucket list, you need to make one first. This improves communication as well and you will come to know a lot about the wishes and choices of your partner.

Couple Vision Board

Here's how you can create one together:

  1. Gather materials: You will need a poster board, scissors, magazines, glue, and any other decorations you'd like to use.

  2. Set your intentions: Start by discussing your goals and aspirations for the future, both as individuals and as a couple. What do you want to achieve together? What are your dreams and desires for your relationship, your career, your health, and your home life?

  3. Cut out images and words: Start flipping through magazines and cutting out images and words that resonate with your goals and aspirations. These can be anything that inspires you, from romantic getaways to new homes to personal achievements.

  4. Arrange your vision board: Once you have your materials, start arranging them on the poster board. You can create separate sections for your individual goals and aspirations, or you can combine them into one cohesive vision board that represents your shared goals.

  5. Decorate your vision board: Use markers, stickers, and other decorations to add some extra flair to your vision board. You can also write affirmations and motivational quotes to help keep you inspired and focused.

  6. Display your vision board: Once your vision board is complete, find a place where you can display it and where you can both see it every day. This can help you stay focused on your goals and aspirations and keep your love and relationship strong.

Creating a couple's vision board can be a fun and meaningful way to celebrate Valentine's Day and set intentions for your future together. It's a great opportunity to connect with your partner, discuss your hopes and dreams, and create a shared vision for your lives together.


6. Couple’s Therapy


If you have never been to any psychologist or psychiatrist before, it might be time that you visit one. No don’t worry, we are not declaring you mad. There is a very wrong notion that goes with psychiatrists and psychologists. This valentine, let’s break that taboo. Every couple needs a counseling session sometimes even when everything seems all right or going smoothly. Several team-building exercises and advice from a psychologist can help you know and understand each other better.

Couple therapy

Couples therapy can be a valuable tool for improving communication and resolving conflicts in relationships. If you're considering couples therapy for Valentine's Day, take the time to prepare, focus on communication, and be patient and committed to the process.

Discuss the idea of therapy with your partner and see if they're open to it. Be honest and transparent about your reasons for wanting to go to therapy, and make sure your partner understands that it's a safe and supportive space to work on your relationship.



7. Walk a Dog at Adoption Centre


There are a lot of adoption centers near you filled with puppies and dogs who need a good owner. You might not be able to adopt one but you can surely share some part of your time with these poor souls. You might play with them or take them on a walk. This will not only make your valentine’s day extra special but also fill you with inner peace and satisfaction.

9. Ditch the Car


Yeah, it is all good to go on a scenic tour or road trip but this Valentine ditch the car and look at your city or town with fresh eyes by getting out and exploring it like tourists.
