Overrated Vdays

Valentines falls on 14 February every year.

Now, the commercialized Vdays are usually lovey dovey, kissing couples and 

sex in bed?

Well, today I am going to give you people the true story of Vday.

Valentines Day was  started by Saint Valentine.

As mentioned, he is a priest during the Roman Empire.

Rome was ruled by Emperor Claudius the Cruel.

He found out that most young men did not want to join the 

army because of their love towards their family and loved ones.

In order to recruit more soldiers, Emperor Caludius cancelled all 

marriages and and engagement in

Rome.

Being a kind fella, St Valentines secretly aided the marriage of young couples

with the help of St Marius.

Emperor Claudius found out about the undergoings of St Valentines and 

placed him in jail to be executed.

During his time, St Valentines befriended with the jailer and his daughter.

Well, I think St Valentines fell in love with the daughter and 

on February 14, St Valentines send a love letter to her which 

he signed, from your valentines.

He was later beheaded.

Valentines day nowadays are about chocolates, roses, and fine dining.

Well, couples should know that true love does not come 

from material things.

You cannot say that if your boyfriend brought you an LV bag, that means he truely loves you.

Or if your girlfriend brought you some cool gadget, does not mean she loves 

you a lot.

Love comes from action.

Sacrificial action.

Not the actions which you see only on Valentines day, but the actions done 

every second, every minute, every day.

One cannot expect to be ultra nice to their love ones and be another the next day.

Imagine the sacrifice St Valentines did by marrying the couples.

He knew the consequences was terrible but he knew that love cannot be torn apart.

So, be sure whether your Valentine is sincere and not materialistic.
