a wife who doesn't like valentines?

Being Valentines Day, I thought I'd post something about how great my wife is. I admire my wife and enjoy her more than I can really describe. One of the reasons that I appreciate my wife this time of year is because she doesn't like Valentines Day. Early in our dating relationship, she told me that she doesn't care anything for what she calls, a 'forced', holiday. Her reasoning, "If you have to get me flowers and chocolates, then it really doesn't mean anything to me." Wow, what a woman. I have nothing for the day myself so I was thrilled to hear my girlfriend at the time say these things.

Every year we have the conversation, "Are you sure you don't want me to do something?" She always assures me that her view hasn't changed. She laughs as we observe so many men stressed out by unrealistic expectations for the 'big day'. We enjoy this day every year, but not for quite the same reasons as most.
