In this time of a seemingly-never-ending pandemic, Valentine’s Day is bound to be different for many of us. Those who are couples may miss the traditional dinners-out, romantic get-aways, and other such expressions of their undying affection.

However, what if there was an easy, heartfelt way for all of us to honor Valentine’s Day. A way to express love in a safe, non-COVID threatening way, not just to our sweetheart, but to the many others in our world that we hold dear. It’s putting love into action by simply saying, "Thank you."

We all want to be part of a relationship, and the main reason is the desire to feel connected. You might be surprised to learn that, in fact, this is a basic biological requirement because some of you will only experience it during times of need—when you want to be understood.

If your partner is not able to provide this connection for you, no doubt you will feel quite disappointed and/or frustrated. Likely, you will also experience a sense of being isolated.
