Day 14 #Loveuary ❤ – Valentine

loveuary

Valentine’s Day is here. The reason this month has got all red, pink and fluffy! We’ve been bombarded with adverts, cards and flowers, deals on hotels and fancy meals, for the best part of two months at least, and now it’s here.

But hasn’t it all got far too commercialised?

It’s a great idea, to have a day to show your love, but that shouldn’t be the only day. If you love someone, you love them everyday, yet the businesses out there have cottoned on to the fact that there is huge money to be made out of days like today. If the other half doesn’t get a card, the Missus will be miffed, that sort of thing!

I, for one, never lose an opportunity to tell him that I love him. Every day. Today, for me is just an extra reason to shower him with a little extra love. But along with him, the love is showered on all my family and friends.

It can’t be a bad thing to spread love, can it? If only for a day, let there be love around the world. ❤

My Valentine

Today’s the day to profess my love
To coo to you, my turtle dove
The day I say how much I care
How to be with you I’d go anywhere

To shower you with kisses and hugs
Cuddly toys and romantic mugs
A bunch of roses, must be red
And propose that I think we should wed

But why today on St Valentine,
When every day I want you to be mine?
Everyday you change my life
For not one day are we husband and wife

Know my love will never end
Even when you drive me round the bend
A chance to celebrate, it’s true
The very fact that I love you

Though my sight may fade
Your beauty is imprinted
Forever inside
These eyes may see you daily
This heart remembers your soul

Spidey’s Serene Sunday – Part 104 – #Loveuary Special

“Where there is love, there is life.” – Mahatma Gandhi

See, even Gandhiji knew the importance of love. It is so true though, without love, and these kinds of strong emotions, what kind of life would we have?

I leave you with that dear Peeps! Happy, romantic Sunday! ❤

 

Day 12 #Loveuary❤ – Marriage

loveuary

Marriage to me is so important. Seeing my parents, and in-laws, and my grandparents too, I grew up wanting a marriage as strong and secure as that.

In their days, marriage, in the Eastern cultures, came before love. You were matched according to family and compatibility. As a girl, you were trained up in the arts of homemaking, and cooking, in the hope that these skills would do you well in our marriage.

In my time, and now, it is more likely that a couple fall in love first, as with their Western counterparts. Careers and life experiences come way before the rest, and often you are left to bumble along, learning how to be a ‘wife’ in the traditional sense, on the job!

This little poem is about my experience. We met, we went out with each other, we fell in love, we married. And our love grows with each day that passes.

The day I smiled at you
Changed my whole life
Led me down a path
Where I became your wife

Clandestine dates
In secret locations
Midnight passing in
Whispered conversations

Changed in a flash
Once those vows we took
Enjoying homemaking
And learning how to cook

Supporting each other
A true marriage of souls
At one time feeling incomplete
Now we do feel whole
