Sometimes even regular old date nights are comprised of at least an hour of ” I don’t know, what do you want to do?” (Cue the back and forth like the vultures in Disney’s animated movie “The Jungle Book”) You want to make sure that Valentine’s day is a special treat for you and your spouse so I have come up with 52 Ways to Enjoy Valentine’s Day with Your Spouse to give you some ideas for the day and throughout the entire year!
