Valentine’s Day is a fun and loving day for many people and there are so many wonderful blog posts out there about all aspects of relationships. I have searched high and wide and these are in my opinion some of the best wisdom you can get, no matter where you are in your relationship.

My fondest wish is that may you all find happiness in yourself and in your relationship, no matter what stage you are at – perhaps single and having a ball, in a blissful union or recovering from a broken heart.

There is some highly useful and ago old wisdom in these 40 posts, so grab a coffee, sit back and come with me on a journey of love and relationships.

1. The Real Meaning of Valentine’s Day

Valentine’s Day is a celebration of love and it is an opportunity for us to truly reconnect with the real meaning of this day. It is about LOVE, sharing and giving.

Love is the most amazing thing in our lives. It is what makes us human, what makes life worth living. Nothing else truly matters. The size of our homes, bank balances, the beauty of our partner, the speed of our car – all those things pale into insignificance when we face the splendour of what it is that makes us tick.

“Love does not make the world go around – it simply makes the ride worthwhile”.

Love is much greater than what we feel romantically. It is what makes us sing, dance and makes us human.

1.What is Love?

There are so many simple things we can all do on a daily basis to bring more love into our lives. Together we can all make this an even better and more beautiful world than it already is.

Let us use the occasion of Valentine’s Day for us all to become human again together, and manifest even more love in our already magnificent world. Always remember all the positive aspects of love.

2. Avoid the Commercialism of Valentine’s Day

Love is NOT the highly commercialised circus we see on Valentines Day. It is much deeper and much more profound than sending someone a dozen roses at hugely inflated prices. It is much more than candle lit dinners and fancy chocolates.

It seems we are madly clamouring for this special day of love, as if all it takes to prove and validate our love is just one day of being nice to our partner.

It is amusing to see so many people rushing around to prove their true love for that “special” person in their life. But what happens when the roses have died and the chocolates have all been gobbled up?

The commercialism has gone so far that people are made to feel inadequate if they are on their own on Valentine’s Day.

Here is a great post from my friend and mentor Leo Babaunta about how you can get away from the commercial aspect and be romantic on the cheap.

3. Ways to be Romantic on the Cheap

Note that being cheap does not mean being a cheap skate, just frugal and sensible!

At the same time, why limit yourself to having some fun for just one day of the year?

3. Give of Yourself to Others

This time of the year, we are bombarded with all sorts of commercial pressure to go out and spend a fortune to show the true merit of our love.

But rather than just focussing on what fancy gift you can give to your loved one, or how elaborately you can celebrate the day, why not focus on what you can actually give of yourselves. Even if you are single, it is time to give more of yourself to others.

It is really not about us anymore – it is about others and what we can do for others.

5. Valentine's Day a time for self-less giving
