Valentine's day and Love

I have thought over it multiple times - how important is Valentines day in the scheme of things when you love someone.

This day motivates people to express their love to the loved ones. However, love can not end at that. Love is not a day's phenomenon, it is a life-long commitment. I read about a story which had a old couple who had been playing a kind of "find it out" game for past 40-50 years of their marraige. They would write "I love you" somewhere and ask the partner to find it. They did this daily. And this added spark and excitement to their lives.

This is what love should be about. Sharing the feelings with your loved ones on a daily basis. Valentines day should remind us of this kind of daily expression of our love. That this reminder comes just one day a year is the sad part of it all.
