February is Creative Romance Month

Cupid puts a lot of pressure on relationships. When Valentine’s Day rolls around, men start sweating, worried that their card, flowers, and box of candy will be found lacking. Women, on the other hand, worry that their significant others will 1) forget or 2) make a token gesture with no thought behind it.

There’s an easy way to put the fun back into your love life. Instead of focusing on Valentine’s Day, celebrate Creative Romance Month.

Yes, among the other occasions celebrated in February (National Weatherman’s Day, Toothache Day, Mardi Gras, Canned Food Month) comes a month-long celebration that focuses on finding clever, meaningful ways to make those we love feel special.
