- Respect boundaries: Everyone has different comfort levels when it comes to public displays of affection or extravagant gestures. Respect your partner’s boundaries and preferences.

- Be inclusive: Valentine’s Day isn’t just for romantic couples. Include friends, family, and even pets in your celebration to spread love and joy to those you care about.
- Remember the essence of love: Beyond the flowers, chocolates, and gifts, remember that the true essence of Valentine’s Day is love and appreciation. Express your love sincerely and authentically, not just on Valentine’s Day but every day.
