I just heard a Walgren's commerical where it implied that if you don't buy a Valentine's gift , you will lose the love of your partner. I think that is B.S.There are many things that could make me stop loving my man but not getting a gift on valentine's isn't one of them.Maybe it's me. I don't like receiving flowers and chocolates are okay but not necessary.He doesn't have to go broke top show me he loves me. Either he does and I can feel it or he doesn't. No present can change that. What do you think? If your lover didn't get you anything for Valentine's would you actually stop loving him/her?

it is just a making make scheme to get people to spend money. I don't know if my man and I will do anything for valentines day, it is just another day and our life has many more priorities than wasting money on valentines day, gosh if we need a gift to tell us we are loved then there is something wrong with that relationship lol

My girlfriend and I have made an agreement not to make a big deal of Valentine's Day. Its stupid to go all out and show your love on one special day. We've set a spending limit of $5(although I am thinking of talking to her and trying to agree on $10, I would like to get her a little thing of chocolates) on any gift(s) that we get each other for it, and we're going out to dinner just because we don't go out that often at the moment...not having a driver's license sucks.

It is a very nice gesture if they do get you something but it's not necessary as far as I am concerned. I'd rather have them with me...and if they want to do something...do the dishes or something like that....but no....I wouldn't stop loving someone if they didn't get me a Valentines.

love doesn't reside in presents it lies in your hear whether you are giving present or not doesn't give the measure of your love buy But if you know that your partner is intersted in getting presents ofcourse you can do by giving present valentine gift

I agree. There are women out there that wait for Valentine's Day like a child waits for Christmas.And if her love doesn't understand that even a small gift is a big deal, he/she is in trouble.

Every couple fights, but it is how you fight that determines whether or not your relationship will prevail. Couples who fight with accusatory words, generalizations, the silent treatment, insults, sarcasm, and eye rolling will find that their arguments

Well that is marketing at its best! Spend or lose your love! I agree with you - I don't need my husband to put us both in the poor house in order to support the Walgreens in our area!
