Ready For St.Valentines Day?

Gents,

It is the beginning of February and Gentlemen are preparing to celebrate St. Valentines Day with their special lady. Some of the great love songs in history depict the feelings between a man and a woman; “Love Me Tender” by Elvis Presley, “Strangers In The Night” by Frank Sinatra,  “To Be With You” by Thee Midniters, or “At Last” by Etta James. Music may set the tone for your night but don’t forget that your actions will speak louder.

The origin of St. Valentines Day has several different versions and the only thing agreed upon is that Valentine/Valentinus was martyred for his actions. The Catholic Church has three saints named Valentine or Valentinus but I prefer the story of a priest who defied the Roman Emperor Claudius II during the third century. The Emperor outlawed the marriage of young men because he believed that they would make better soldiers. Valentine did not agree with the Emperor and continued to marry young couples and was killed for his actions. One could say that he fought for love against an unjust Emperor who overstepped his boundaries.

Gentlemen across the world demonstrate their love and care for women in different ways and February 14th is set apart to recognize that special someone in your life. Whether you buy a card, box of chocolates, flowers or plan a special dinner, the important thing is that you do something.
