Valentine's Day

Saint Valentine's Day
commonly shortened to Valentine's Day,is an annual commemoration held on February 14 celebrating love and affection  between intimate companions.
    The day is named after one or more early Christian martyrs, Saint Valentine, and was established by Pope Gelasius I in 496 AD. It was deleted  from the Roman calendar of saints in 1969 by Pope Paul VI, but its religious observance is still permitted. It is traditionally a day on which lovers express their love for each other by Presenting flowers, offering confectionery, and sending greeting cards (known as "valentines"). The day first became associated with romantic love in the circle of Geoffrey Chaucer  in the High Middle Ages, when the tradition of courtly love flourished.
Modern Valentine's Day symbols include the heart-shaped  outline, doves, and the figure of the winged Cupid. Since the 19th century, handwritten valentines have given way to mass-produced greeting cards.
To make your life more amazing and more lovely or just to save a marriage, sometimes you need to start from scratch and woo your wife all over again.


Better yet, stop thinking of her as a wife for now and start treating like her as the attractive and lovable woman that she is. Flirt with her the way you did in the old days. Granted, the idea may seem a bit awkward, but the tips below will help you snag your "first" marriage date with your spouse.

Look your best.

The sleepy, tousled hair look may have been a hit when you were in your prime, but it's different now and you may need to put more effort into looking good. Thankfully, grooming essentials for men are pretty much basic compared to what women use when they primp. For the basics, a long hot bath would do. Scented soap and shampoo isn't necessary, but they do help especially if they have the same brand and use the same scent. Match this with the same scent for your cologne and after shave or deodorant and you'll smell better than you've ever been. Oh, and by the way, the application of the same scent with various products is called layering: it ensures that you remain smelling fresh all day long.

Additional grooming products you could use are mouth rinse and maybe some styling products for your hair.
