When I asked her to be my Valentine she just smiled, didn't say yes... ::)
But on a serious note... are you serious?
Very much so

So which part? The roses? The Chocolates? It was heart shaped? I gave her a ring? It was Purim Katan? It was Erev Shabbos?
To the extent of my knowledge being on the internet is more of a problem even in that aspect than what I did.
P.S. Do all of CV's threads have to got his way? :P

Ask an LOR

Not quoting this as Torah Misinai, but just as a demontration that I'm not crazy
Quote from: VIN
Thus, in this author’s opinion, it is not just an act of the pious to refrain from giving chocolates to one’s wife or a friend on Valentine’s Day – it is entirely forbidden and a Biblical violation of “walking in the ways of the gentiles.”  Do not take my word for it, however. Please present both readings of the Igros Moshe to your own Posaik.

Is it possible to make her feel special every day.
On a serious note, yes.
A heartfelt compliment, even if it's one you've said many times before.
To show that you think she's special, every day.
To make her feel, through words and (small) deeds that you're truly glad you married her.

After some time it will no longer seem special but I know what you mean.

Of course you can make her feel special every day, but anything you do every day becomes routine, hence:
There are many different days during the year you can make her feel extra special. I added the "extra" before I get jump on.  :)
BTW doesn't change the fact that I believe VD to be a commercialized scam by chocolate and flower companies, but there are plenty of other chances to make your wife feel "extra" during the year...

Proving you're not crazy by quoting VIN? Hmm...

I believe Ergel has a valid point.
Let's just wait and see what Sam's LOR says.
Love me or hate me. I still love you.
