What Catholic Women Want for Valentine's Day

This article caught my eye on EWTN. It covers all sorts of topics to do with Valentine's Day, and looks at responses given by a number of women to the question in the title - What would you like for Valentines' Day? The replies varied greatly from; material gifts, to being taken out somewhere for a meal, spending 'quality time' with one's husband and so on.

What strikes me, and not just in this article but generally about celebrating St Valentine's Day is this:

Everywhere you go and everything you see, hear or read about the celebration, seems to be about what women would like, or might expect to receive as gifts.

I always thought St Valentine's Day was about celebrating love between a couple. To me that means we women should also be thinking about how to show our love and appreciation for our husband. You don't often see articles such as, 'What are you going to give your husband for Valentine's Day?' or adverts saying, 'Don't forget ladies, make sure you remember the special man in YOUR life on Valentines' Day!'

Just a thought!
