Long Distance Valentines Romance Valentinesday Tips Workingon Valentines Day
Just because your loved one is away from home doesn't make the day any less special. It does mean planning though, because instead of being able to celebrate with them, you have to look at the overall picture of your own individual circumstances to know how to celebrate. It's good to talk with your loved one, and to find out their exact agenda. The reason for this is that they don't want to be greeted by a Valentine wish in front of other people they work with, and perhaps view this is as a private thing between you and them. To make the most of Valentine's Day while they are away requires the following:
- Planning ahead.
- Arranging gifts or cards.
- Arranging when you can talk to them.
- Planning a Valentine treat upon their return.
- Letting them know they are loved.
Planning ahead.
Find out if the things you wish to send can be sent to where they are. This may sound basic, but if you leave these planning arrangements until last thing, this is where arrangements go wrong. If they are away on business, or perhaps you are away on business, you will want to make sure that you can reach them, by knowing their address or their telephone number and what their plans are on Valentine's Day.
Arranging gifts or cards.
These will have to be sent out in plenty of time. The little wife left alone at home will feel pretty miserable if she doesn't receive any indication that you thought of her on Valentine's Day. A late gift or card isn't enough really since they will already be feeling alone, while all their friends celebrate. If you can leave something special as a gift with a friend who will be at home, this guarantees that they will at least receive something. If not, make sure you order well in advance so that there is no disappointment.
Cards can also be left in a specific place within the home so that a simple phone call will tell them where to look. Often this is very effective, since this tells them that you thought it all out in advance. They may be feeling that you put your work before your marriage, but in this way you reinforce that you love them and thought of them being all alone.
Arranging when you can talk to them.
Nothing helps a person who is alone more than that all familiar voice on the phone. Even if you are accustomed to talking to each other daily, make this phone call special. Arrange a time when they are on their own, with the kids perhaps in bed, so that you can have an intimate few moments of talking on the phone to celebrate Valentine's day and your love for them.
Planning a Valentine treat for their return.
This can be done by either a husband or a wife. The man who is away, but who has thought out in advance about taking their wife somewhere special will show her he really does love her. Similarly the wife who creates an intimate meal for her husband upon his return shows him her love. It may not be Valentine's day when it happens, but use that Valentine's Day alone to make the plans for something romantic.
Letting them know they are loved.
One of the horrible things about Valentine's day from teen years right through to being adult is feeling you are unloved. The world rotates around pictures of hearts and couples kissing and being alone is painful. If you are away from your loved one on this special day made for romantics, be sure to make a point of letting them know you love them. No matter what it takes – a telegram, an email, a card or words all count towards letting your loved one know that the hearts and flowers are still there within your heart and mind. This is what Valentine's Day is all about, and as long as they know they are loved, you can't go far wrong.
