When I ask my friends about Valentine’s Day, they hardly know anything about it. Most of them go like this — there was a cool guy named Valentine who somehow died for love. So, happy valentine! cheers!

That’s the limit of their knowledge about the day associated with love and romance. I think it’s true for many people — even the cute couples who are obsessed with celebrating Valentine’s Day.

As we all know, 14 February, is celebrated as the most romantic day of each year. Young boys and girls go crazy when the date approaches. Millions get engaged. Many wish to get married on that particular day. Love and romance float in the air.

This craziness is mostly media-driven to create an incredible opportunity for doing business. Tons of chocolates, flowers, candy are sold all around the world. People buy gifts and invent new ways to amaze their partners. They reserve the best seats in the best restaurants, order the best foods, and talk love-things over dinner, holding each other’s hands.

But if you somehow get engaged or married on Valentine’s Day, does that guarantee that your conjugal life will be a great one? No one knows. People just go with the flow without thinking anything.
