Valentine’s Day is a special day for couples to express their love and appreciation for one another.

But it can be tough to come up with creative ideas that will make this special day stand out from the rest.

Here are some tips on how to have a great Valentine’s Day with your spouse. 

Get A Couples Massage

A couples massage is a great way to relax and reconnect with your partner.

Many spas and masseuses offer Valentine’s Day specials that amplify the romance and give you some much-needed TLC.

What’s more, massage has been shown to reduce stress levels and increase endorphins, which will set the mood for the rest of the day.

Cook Dinner Together

Cooking can be a fun activity when you do it with your partner, especially when you’re working on something new and challenging together or, alternatively,  making one of your favourite meals.

For extra romance, you could recreate your wedding dinner or what you enjoyed on your 1st date.

Have A Picnic At Home

A picnic in the comfort of your own home is a great way to add some secluded romance to your evening.

Spread out a blanket, or simply set up on the couch, and enjoy some wine, fine cheeses, and crudites while you watch the sunset, talk for hours, or watch your favourite movie together. 

Up Your Dinner & Flowers Game

There’s a reason why going out for dinner and buying flowers is so popular, and it’s not just convenience.

But, when you’re doing the usual, it can feel a little lacklustre – so consider spicing it up. 

Instead of visiting your usual dinner spot, consider revisiting a restaurant from a favourite date.

Instead of red roses (which are beautiful and classic for a good reason), consider giving a bouquet of the flowers you had at your wedding, or learn what flowers represent your birth month and ask a florist to create something custom. 

Go Dancing

Dancing is a great way to get close to your partner and have some fun at the same time.

If you like the idea of dancing but are a little rusty on your moves, you could try taking private classes together.

Or, if you really want to amp up the intimacy, turn down the lights, put on a romantic playlist, and ask your love to dance with you in the living room. 

Make Homemade Valentine’s Day Gifts

Homemade gifts are almost always more special than store-bought ones, so embrace your creative side and take some time to make something unique for your partner this Valentine’s Day.

It could be something like a framed photo of both of you, some baked goods, or a playlist.

Embrace your talents and passions, and you’re sure to make a gift to remember.

Write Love Letters To Each Other

Writing love letters may be a lost art, but it’s definitely worth reviving.

You could write about your favourite memories together, a story of when you 1st realized you were in love, or simply all the things you love about your partner.

Exchange them on Valentine’s Day or leave your letter somewhere secret for your love to find – imagine their surprise.

Plan A Weekend Getaway

If you really want to treat your partner (and yourself), plan a weekend getaway somewhere special where it can be just the two of you.

Hotels are great options, but you could try something like Airbnb for a romantic cabin in the woods, too.

When it’s just you and your spouse, you can really focus on each other and your shared relationship.

So, if you’re looking for ways to make this Valentine’s Day extra special for your spouse, try out some of these suggestions.

There’s still lots of time before Valentine’s Day to plan something fantastic, whether it’s low-key or extravagant.
If you put love into it, it’s sure to create special memories that you both will treasure for years to come.
