I’ve compiled a list of important items for us to have for our Valentine’s Day celebration after discussing our expectations for the day.
To our moms, you read at your own caution!
Dinner Ingredients:
Beef – We will use our own family raised beef. (We sell beef and eggs from our farm if you need a farm fresh source of beef. If not, head to your grocery store and stock up on some!)
Veggies & Potatoes – While the steaks are grilling, we will throw some veggies and potatoes drizzled in Olive Oil (link to my favorite) and some Himalayan Pink Salt (this is a link to my favorite pink salt-you can also get at Walmart or probably wherever you shop) and pepper.
Bread & Dessert – I attempted to make a copycat recipe of Texas Roadhouse rolls a few weeks ago. They didn’t turn out as I had hoped, but they will suffice for dinner. (I’ve had them frozen, so will just pull them out). Dessert may be a chocolate chip cookie that My Forever made at his parents on Sunday. Who knows what it might be.
Entertainment:
We both really love watching movies. We haven’t picked a movie, but can almost guarantee we end up watching a movie.
Post Entertainment:
We don’t do Valentine Day gifts. Gifts (giving or receiving) is at the bottom of both of our love languages. My Forever doesn’t give gifts ever and I’m horrible at picking out good gifts to give. In lieu of gifts we will consider sex to be our gift to each other.
Lingerie: Ladies, put it on. I don’t care if you spend lots of dollars at a fancy store or $5 off Amazon. Literally, typed in lingerie into amazon and found this for literally $5! It doesn’t have to break your budget to find some lingerie. And men, you don’t get left out of the game. Seriously, find something nice to wear. If we’re putting on something nice for you, find something nice for us.
Massage Oil: Friends it’s taken 6 years of marriage, but I have trained My Forever that a back rub is essential for me to be involved in sex. Appreciate your partner on Valentine’s Day with a massage. I don’t know very many people that wouldn’t appreciate a little love in the way of a massage.
Grab a copy of the Kama Sutra and find a position you’ve never tried before. Have fun talking about which one looks interesting. Or if you don’t want to talk about it, mark the pages that you’d like to try and have your partner do the same. Don’t be afraid of trying something new. Just like anything, you may not be good at it the first time, but you might find something that you love.
Lubricant: I’ve talked about this before, but sex isn’t any fun if there isn’t proper lubrication involved, whether that’s natural or added. Both partners need to understand the woman’s cycle and where she is at in it. Our bodies are amazing machines that do amazing things. Don’t be ashamed to use lubricants. Find the one that you like. Maybe that’s the “regular” ones like K-Y Jelly or more “natural” approaches like coconut oil, be sure you have one handy.
Valentine Day Wrap-Up
Whatever you choose to do, I hope that you spend time with the one you love. Make it a day of love rather than a day of over-priced and over-commercialized crap that doesn’t mean anything. Talk to each other about expectations. If flowers mean that much to one of you, buy them. If they don’t, skip them and use the money for something you both enjoy. Just enjoy the day! Life is so short and precious. Use this day as a means to grow your relationship!
