February 14 is a day, in which couples get the best out of themselves to show their love. Some more commercial others more romantic. But the truth of the matter is, that there are things that you should definitely avoid this day.

Do you know why Valentine's Day is celebrated?

It is a story that has its origin in ancient Rome, back in the third century. In those days, a priest decided to marry those couples, made up of soldiers, who were forbidden to do so. And it was believed that married men, surrendered less than single men on the battlefields. They thought that by not being emotionally connected with their families, single soldiers would have a better performance. There was a priest, whose name was Valentine who refused to let these soldiers have to renounce his love, because he considered it an injustice and because of that, he dedicated himself to protect them and to marry them in secret.

The Emperor of Rome Claudius II, discovered that the priest Valentine was contrary to his mandate, so he ordered his arrest. While Valentín was in jail, he met Julia, the daughter of jailor Asterius. This one to make mockery of the priest, asked him to return the sight to his blind daughter. And the priest said he would. That's right, he looked back at Julia. A fact that convulsed the jailer and his family, causing them to convert to Christianity. But, in spite of this fact, the Emperor Claudius gave the order to martyr and execute Valentine February 14.

Another version tells that Valentine fell in love with Julia and that in the time he was in jail, he dedicated himself to writing letters and love poems.

Julia for her part, grateful with Valentine, planted an almond tree with pink flowers next to her grave. Becoming this tree in a symbol of love and deep friendship.

Now, knowing what is the origin of this date, we must celebrate it with a deeper feeling than the simple purchase of gifts and chocolates. Do not you think?

To make your partner feel really special, you should avoid making these mistakes:

1.- While the Day of Love has its date of celebration, do not forget to make your partner feel special, every day of the year.

2.- For no reason, allow that you forget this date, because otherwise you will have serious problems with your partner.

3.- Do not always do the same activity year after year. Get out of the routine and invite her to do activities that they would not do on a day-to-day basis.

4 .- Do not even think, leave your partner abandoned on this special day, for an outing with your friends.

5.- If you are planning a special getaway, do it thinking, not only what you like, but what you like and have fun with your partner. This will guarantee that you will spend unforgettable moments together.

6.- Do not miss this date, time does not have to dictate your actions. Plan in advance a unique moment, in which you make your partner feel special and important to you. If you do not have much time, just look for a moment alone, a dinner at a special restaurant, a walk on the beach, a day at a spa, or a reservation at a hotel. They will give this day a different meaning.

7.- Giving chocolate and flowers is very nice, but do it with feeling, meaning and coherence. Avoid making the same gift year after year. Inject a little originality to this day.

8.- Sometimes, as a couple they talk about experiences like watching a sunset, walking barefoot on the beach. Small details and actions that fill you with peace and free you from routine, but which are always postponed. Well, this is an excellent time to make those experiences a reality.

9.- Do not condemn this date only for singles, marriages must also celebrate it. As a couple, they must rescue moments of intimacy. So it would be excellent, to make an appointment for this day and enjoy a moment of a couple, in which they are only for each other. A moment of reunion would not be bad, right?

10.- Forget your cell phone and apply 100% of your attention to your partner and put all your effort so that they have a unique moment.

11.- Whatever happens, avoid complaints and criticism. Do your best to give your partner a romantic evening.

Remember to celebrate love every day of the year, do not condemn it to a single day.

Tell me…! What original experience do you think of carrying out with your partner on Valentine's Day?
