Valentine's Day elicits mixed feelings for many couples, with reactions ranging from enthusiasm to disdain. This holiday can become a minefield, with differing expectations leading to anxiety and disappointment. Couples therapists often observe common dynamics: one partner may embrace the holiday while the other resents its commercialism, causing tensions. Alternatively, couples who celebrate together risk overlooking ongoing relationship efforts outside Valentine's Day. Navigating these feelings requires open communication and sensitivity to each other's views on this culturally charged day.
The struggles surrounding Valentine's Day often stem from mismatched expectations, with one partner loving the holiday while the other despises it.
Couples who both embrace Valentine's Day may find joy in shared celebration, but it can also highlight a lack of romantic effort throughout the year.
