Sharing one’s love doesn’t need a holiday

Dawn Gentles

Valentines Day is known as the day for lovers. It is usually expressed by sharing your love for your spouse, boyfriend or girlfriend, or that significant other.

If you speak to some people about marriage you get this deer in headlights look, and a response of “I’ll never get married.” This is an unfortunate response to such a beautiful occurrence in ones life.

When you find that special person, the one you really want to spend the rest of your life with, you will know. Maybe not at that moment, but there are feelings and emotions that will stay in your mind as well as in your heart forever.

My husband and I have been married four years. That may not seem like a long time to some people but to others it may be an eternity, something that is just unthinkable. But, I must say, my love for him truly runs deep.

When my husband calls me on the phone or I see him working in the yard it always feels like I am seeing him for the first time. I get that butterfly in my stomach feeling, and a huge smile creeps across my lips sometimes I even feel my face getting flushed. Every once and a while I do get caught and my husband will ask me “what are you looking at?” My response varies from time to time, but it’s the feeling that is always there that makes me know we will be together for all of eternity.

On Valentine’s Day it is different to me only in one fact. We will go out to dinner and of course as a woman I’ll get some kind of trinket, whether it’s a piece of jewelry or a stuffed teddy bear it really doesn’t matter, my feelings are unchanging and never ending when it comes to the love of my life, and I don’t need a holiday to celebrate my feelings.
