Let's begin with my personal favorite Valentine's Day idea. Do you have any couple goals you'd like to accomplish this year? Make your own bucket list by writing it down in a notebook. It can include anything you and your partner want to do in life together. It could be going to Ireland to sleep in a beautiful castle or going far north to see the glaciers. It could be a resolution to go to the gym and work out on a regular basis. It could even include binge-watching Game of Thrones or catching up on reading. Any enjoyable activities or experiences should be included!

Why not show your love by preparing a delicious breakfast for your beloved and serving it in bed? Good food, as they say, is the way to someone's heart. Make waffles or pancakes and top them with whipped cream and strawberries. You can even drizzle some chocolate syrup on top. Break some eggs and make a delicious cheese omelet with toast. Most importantly, don't forget the coffee in the morning! After that, arrange the food on the bed tray along with some roses and a sweet little love note.

Isn't there a song that reminds us of the first time we fell in love? Remember when you were both nervous and giggly, and holding hands gave you jitters while also enveloping you in warmth? The first kiss, and even the first fight over the most trivial of issues... Oh, those wonderful days! Put on YOUR song and slow dance to it to bring them back.
-
Pack a few items and go on a short couple's retreat. This is especially recommended if you are a stressed-out parent or a burnt-out workaholic. Send your children to their grandparents, cancel all appointments, and reserve a cozy suite for just the two of you. Spend your time snuggled up in bed with each other, watching a romantic movie on Netflix, ordering your comfort food, and talking to your heart's content with no interruptions or diaper explosions.

The giggling girl, his lame jokes, and those red-handed stealing glances... Oh, and that restaurant with the dim lights and strange food that somehow became a favorite in your mind. Do you want to relive that night? Dress up, make sure to wear the same cherry-red lipstick and green tie, and plan to meet at 8 p.m. This Valentine's Day will be one to remember! Re-enacting a first date is also a popular method for marriage proposals. Just a thought.
-
Bubble baths aren't just romantic; they're also quite therapeutic. They have the ability to cleanse and soothe you from the inside out. If you're pressed for time, set aside an hour and jump into the bathtub with your significant other. Set the tone! Light scented candles, dim the lights, play soothing music, fill the bath with water, add salts and bath bombs, and plunge! With some strawberries and a bottle of champagne, this is one of the must-do Valentine's Day activities.

Sometimes it will have been a long time since you and your girlfriend went out to eat without checking the time. Plan a night out with a lavish meal at a five-star restaurant without having to worry about any pending housework or work commitments. Relax, go to your favorite fancy restaurant, and indulge in gourmet food in the midst of peace and quiet.

Do you ever feel as if you're losing touch with one another? When you try to talk and connect, there is this gap that keeps widening; with running a household and busy careers, there just seems to be too many other things to do. Reconnect right now! This Valentine's Day, skip the chores, take the day off, and spend a lazy afternoon (and night!) in bed. Talk, cuddle, gossip, laugh, and do a lot of other things *wink wink*. You will immediately notice a difference.

Do you and your husband have a thing for love letters and sweet little notes? Do you put them on the fridge, the bathroom mirror, or even in each other's wallets? It's a pleasant surprise to come across a love note and realize how much you mean to them. Perhaps there are things you want to say but are unable to do so. Sticky notes come in handy! Gather your thoughts, grab a pen or two, and jot down your feelings on sticky notes that you can scatter around the house. They even make heart-shaped sticky notes for the occasion, by the way.

What's the point of having your own signature drink when you can have a special song to dance to? You know, something you can't just pick up off the shelf or get in your neighborhood bar. Celebrate Valentine's Day by making a cocktail that captures the intensity of your emotions as well as the fiery flavors of your love. Raise a glass to your relationship and enjoy your drink!
-
A dinner cruise in front of a stunning sunset is the ideal way to cap off your Valentine's Day festivities. Set sail on a ship with your friends and experience a city (and each other's company) in a completely new and exotic way. Spend quality time and be treated with luxury, with faces kissed by sea breeze and alight with wide smiles. Enjoy delicious seafood and cocktails while watching the sun set into the sea.
-
Nothing beats being engulfed in the warmth of a loved one. On Valentine's Day, a simple thing to do is to go for a quiet walk holding each other's hands and simply being in the moment. Make a beeline for a park where you and your partner shared a quick kiss under a tree, or to a moonlit beach where waves crashed at your feet. If you are a busy workaholic, you may even be able to walk from your house to your workplace!

They say the way to a person's heart is through their stomach, so put that theory to the test by spending quality time together preparing a romantic Valentine's Day dinner. You can even take a virtual cooking class — it's a great way to avoid the traditional dinner date in favor of something more hands-on.

Get out of the bedroom and go to a sexy location for your lovemaking. It appears that joining the mile high club, which is getting intimate in an airplane, is a popular option. However, there are numerous other creative ideas. Consider getting busy on top of the washing machine, on a porch swing, in a field of wildflowers, or on a rooftop. Or maybe all of them?
