Tip of the Day: To love, to be loved, and to give the gift of time is the best Valentine's Day gift you can give to the one you love.

Article:  7 Valentine's Assumptions You Should NEVER Make

1. Do not assume that a year of neglectful love can be made up by a dozen roses on Valentine's Day.

 

2. Do not assume that a dinner out on Valentine's Day makes up for a year of missed dinners because of work commitments.

 

3. Do not assume that material gifts on Valentine's Day are more important than receiving the gift of time from the one you love.

 

4. Do not assume that gifts of diamonds, gold and other material things are more important than a love letter to the one you love.

 

5. Do not assume that a store-bought Valentine's Card has more meaning than one you create yourself.

 

6. Do not assume that listening to a love song on the radio or on a CD has more meaning to the one you love than you actually singing a love song to them on Valentine's Day.

 

7. Do not assume that there is anything in the world that matters more to the one you love than your undying expressions of love for them.

 

You see, simple things matter in love and marriage, and on Valentine's Day!  Never underestimate the power and importance of simple acts of kindness, simple expressions of love, and the value of the gift of your personal time.

 

In the end, never assume anything in your relationship with the one you love.  Your actions speak so much louder than your assumptions.

 

On this Valentine's Day, give the one you love the gift of time.  Give them the gift of you.  You will never regret it.

Salad Recipe:  Passion Salad
A happily married couple we interviewed in Florida while they were celebrating their 40th wedding anniversary, shared with us their favorite Valentine's Day salad. This Passion Salad will add a nice red touch to your romantic Valentine's Day dinner.

To make 2 salads make a small bed of baby Arugula for each salad and then arrange half of the following fresh ingredients on the top of each salad:

1/2 cup of pickled beets diced into 1/4" cubes
2/3 cup of Granny apples diced into 1/4" cubes
2 TBS goat cheese crumbed onto the top of the salads
4 pecans cut into quarters

Drizzle lightly with Balsamic Vinaigrette salad dressing
