A How-To Guide on Celebrations

With Valentine's Day just around the corner, most men wait until the very last moment to buy gifts for their sweetheart...and then most of those end up ordering the blue plate special:  roses, chocolates and a Hallmark.

While no one ever complained about getting a dozen roses, chocolates and a card ... roses typically die a week or two later, chocolate becomes a concern when your significant other is struggling to keep her weight, and a Hallmark is, well, paying 4 bucks to use someone else's words as your own.

To make this Valentine's Day extra special, make it a celebration to remember by acknowledging your commitment to one another and communicate those thoughts and feelings to your partner.

What exactly does this mean?  For starters, no television, no cell phone interruptions and no checking email!

Thank your partner for adding value to your life and discuss how the two of you can improve your relationship going forward.

Nothing says "I Love You" like openly and honestly communicating gratitude.
