Want a long happy relationship

"Do. Not. Get. Me. Anything. Practical," Jill McGuire, 70, of St. Louis, said of Valentine's Day. "I do not want a toaster." She was laughing but dead serious. She's been married 47 years to Dan, 69, and said that she doesn't expect extravagant gifts, but she expects to be remembered. This year she's flying back into town from a trip to Mexico on Valentine's Day. So she said she'll probably bring her husband something from her trip and she admits that she'd expect cartier gold chain imitation a surprise of some sort with her welcome home hug.

"It's much more about remembering," she said. "Now that I'm older, there's nothing I need, so candy works, or dinner."

McGuire also said that she likes to drop hints. "I'll say, 'You know what next week is', " she said, or sometimes she'll think out loud about something that she might want or need (wink, wink). "I'd rather do that than let the day pass and then get mad about him forgetting. Life's too short for that."

Marriage and family counselor Christopher Vassel of St. Peters agrees that remembering is replica cartier mens gold chain key.

If a guy says, "She said she didn't want anything, so I didn't do anything. Then she got really mad," Vassel said this isn't such a mystery to decode.

Just because a woman, or man for that matter, says that they don't WANT anything, that doesn't mean you shouldn't DO anything.

"If she says I don't need flowers or gifts, she's saying I have a different love language, and that means figuring out what that means," Vassel said. "Maybe it means taking her to the shooting range to spend time together or maybe it's going to the ballet. It doesn't matter how specifically romantic it sounds, it's about what he or she enjoys."

But Vassel said that the biggest advice he can give to couples is don't forget Valentine's Day. Sure, it's commercial and like any gifting holiday, you know that your love can't be gift wrapped, but it can be a healthy day to express fake cartier chain ring your love.

Couples and sex therapist Angela Skurtu also warned that Valentine's Day shouldn't be the only day you express your love.

"It's very common for couples to put their relationship on the back burner and stop putting effort into the relationship," copy necklace cartier love Skurtu said. "So Valentine's Day, while it is kind of important or not important, does say a lot about a couple's relationship."

She said couples counseling could be in your future if the day passes and one person didn't remember with even a small gesture, like saying "I love you," kissing them, leaving a love note, announcing dinner plans or perhaps presenting a gift.

"I don't remember all the gifts, but I do remember that he's never forgotten," Matthews said.

"Even if it's just a card, it's about remembering, absolutely," McGuire said.

"Hmmm, I don't know what I'd do if he ever forgot. I don't want to know," mused Sierra Moses, 30, who is getting married in July after 11 years with fiance David Blanton, 33. "He's never forgotten, so that's really good news."

For their first Valentine's Day he got her diamond earrings and then he joked that perhaps he'd set the standard a little too high.

"Of course, no one can expect that every year, and I didn't. I don't even wear jewelry really," Moses said. But she treasures the earrings. Right now, she said that it's more about spending time together. In the past they have rented hotel suites and enjoyed lavish dinners, "the whole shebang." Now, they both work a lot and so spending time together is more precious and valuable.

"When you've been with someone as long as we have, you seek refuge in each other," Moses said. She said the thought behind the gift is really what matters, not the gift.

Vassel said that if a guy tells him he's getting his significant other a dozen roses, he advises him to start 11 days prior and bring home one rose each day. Or maybe someone does the same with a bouquet of artisanal beers, kombucha or chocolate truffles.

Valentine's Day he said is kind of like a couple's New Year's Day, so it's a good time for resolutions to be more appreciative of each other and spend more time together the rest of the year if necessary.

Rose, 85, and George Storey, 89, of Brentwood Forest have been married for 63 years. They have eight kids, 24 grandchildren and six great grandchildren. She was a stay at home mom until her 50s and then she went to work and retired at 75.

Her husband also retired, and their children joked about how they'd handle being together 24 7. She said they wondered if their relationship would change, but she wasn't worried.

"He never had to get me something on Valentine's Day because I loved him and cared about him, but he always did something. That's just the way he is," Rose Storey said. "Just a little surprise of some kind, you know, maybe just a piece of candy under my pillow, but I'd really anticipate it and get excited."

In turn she'd usually put a love note in the lunch box that she packed for him that day. She does remember jewelry and fancy dinners but says that thrilled her in younger days, not now. A recent Valentine's Day gift was a beautiful green plant, she recalls.

"Old people don't talk about it much, but we still like to cuddle," Storey said. "Being together is more important. Sharing time with each other. Enjoying our own company and spending time with our lovely family, that's our Valentine's Day it's every day."

Vassel said that quiet displays of love are usually the most effective. Some people, men especially, think that big showy declarations are best, but Vassel says that they should ask if they are really showing their love or just showing off.

Alexis Cook, 25, of Maplewood said she was single last Valentine's Day. She's been dating Patrick Vitt, 26, for about 10 months and they've already started celebrating Valentine's Day. She received a little blue box from Tiffany and Co. in the mail, the "I love you" ring. And she got him a rolling tool chest because he's "quite the handyman."

On Feb. 14, they'll enjoy dinner and a movie, she said.

"It is extremely important to show each other appreciation and not only on Valentine's Day. I would lose track if I were to count how many times a day we say, "I love you," or something sweet to each other," she said.

Karen Klaus, 59, of St. Louis met Marty Luepker, 54, last year the week before Valentine's Day. He was out of town on the actual day, but posted a romantic song on her Facebook page.
