Whether you’re celebrating Valentine’s Day or Galentine’s Day (a February 13th festivity invented by Parks and Recreation’s Leslie Knope that involves lady friends celebrating one another and having a “Lilith Fair minus the angst” amount of fun), the sentiments behind your holiday of choice should be affection, respect, gratitude, and joy.
Love may conquer all, but that doesn’t mean it’s acceptable to forget (or ignore) Valentine’s Day when you’re in some form of a relationship — whether it’s a new development that’s still in its nascent stages, a long-distance arrangement, a live-in partnership, or a marriage.
