Valentines Day

Historically Incorrect Canoodling

In the article " Historically Incorrect Canoodling" written by Stephanie Coontz talks about how valentines day has came to be and how it was created. It tells how after a few years later how it has change and doesn't have the same feeling and meaning as it did way back in the day. It was mad a holiday by a man named "Valentine". It tells how valentines day is the day to ask your loved one to be yours forever, and to be romantic.

In the article it says " For thousands of years, love, passion, and marriage were considered a rare and usually undesirable combination. Valentine's Day was originally created by the Roman Catholic Church as a limit on sexual passion."It also says Valentine's Day is a reminder of just how romantic we are, Restaurants are reserved months in advance for romantic dinner for two. 

I think that Valentine's Day is such a great holiday to celebrate with your partner. I think its the best time to spend with the one you love dearly. I agree that it does brings out the romantic sides of people. That's when love is in the air.I find it to be something fun too. I like seeing all the hearts and seeing how happy a human being can make one another.

Well, this was recently this year when Valentines Day came along my friend and I went out for dinner, went to the movies, and spent our day with memories we cherish most. We gave one another a promise ring saying we were to be honest at all times. I love the feeling of being loved.

This article did help me think of it more. I used to think Valentines Day was all about the female. I thought your partner was suppose to do for only you, but its not its for both genders to celebrate something they tried so hard to build. So I guess Valentines Day is the day to celebrate all your hard work and dedication to your partner.

What do you think about Valentines Day?, Do You think its for both partners or females only?, Do you think Valentines Day is romantic?, Did you have a partner to spend it with?, Do you think its a good Holiday? Let me know what you think..
