How To Write Amazing Valentine's Day Cards For Every Relationship Status

Ok so the long awaited day is upon us. Tis the day of love! However, the reality is that there is perhaps no other day that people are more emotionally freaked out, excited, overwhelmed, shocked, elated, deflated, surprised and disappointed on the same day. So...this year, my advice is to focus on depth and meaning.

Many people are going to be freaked out about "getting it right"...spending unrecoverable hours googling Valentine’s Day ideas and so on. Cute.

Focus on doing things that are not cliche.....things that will be meaningful to the heart of the person you are doing it for. It doesn't have to be expensive. In fact, it doesn't even have to cost money. It just has to be meaningful.

Now...there is about a 97% chance that a card will be involved. Most people will just go to the store and pick one up. Nothing wrong with that. However, one really powerful way to add depth is to write YOUR OWN note in an empty card or just on note paper.

That said, I know its not easy to do. Some people REALLY struggle with writing Valentine's Day cards, and some just want more creative ideas. I also now that this may be easier or harder depending on the relationship status.

Either way, I am going to help. I am going to give you a few templates to use for different relationship statuses.Use them well, be creative...make them personal and you will most certainly put a smile on his/her face.

Here we go:

Just "talking" - Unofficial but you really like him/her:

Option a)I just want you to know that you are ______________. Getting to know you over the past _________ has been ___________. I appreciate your _____________ and your _____________. One of the life lessons I've learnt from getting to know you is that ______________________. I hope that I also have added value to your life. Do me a huge favor.... REMAIN AWESOME and ___________.Happy Valentine's Day!

Option b)I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that that getting to know you has been a _______________ experience. You have this uncanny ability to _____________ and your passion for ___________just shows through. Thanks for being ___________________ and thanks for taking the time to get to know me. Youre a great person and on this Valentine's day, I wish you_________________ .... I wish you ______________ and I pray that _________________. Lets see where this goes! Happy Valentine's Day!

New relationship:

I cant imagine _______________ and I cant wait for ______________. It doesnt matter if_____________. All I know is_______________. Thank you for ________________. Happy Valentine's Day!

Option b)I am just happy we are together. For real. All the other "stuff" is just extra. When you are with someone that makes you feel _________________. When you are with someone that you _________________, it makes everything else just seem....secondary. We are at the beginning of something _____________ and I cant wait for what the future holds. They say that love is blind...but I have my eyes WIDE open and its you I see. You make me feel ______________.

Its a day where I get to reflect on your ____________________ and your _____________. I get to think of how you______________and how I _________________ you. Well, I did all that refection and I am convinced that thinking of you simply makes me ________________. Happy Valentine's Day!

Option b) Hey Boo! I cant stop smiling as I write this. There is a sense of ______________ that I feel right now and I know a big part of that has to do with you. My life is just more __________ with you in it. Its more _________. Youre a true gift to me. I'd need a million emoji combinations to tell you how I fee about you. For real though....its a blessing to have you. You ______________ me. You add ______________to my life. You help me_____________. I dont take all that for granted and I want you to know that I love you. You're the best EVER! Happy Valentine's Day!

Complicated:

Option a) It doesnt matter that our relationship is ______________. It doenst take away from the fact that _____________. Its Valentine's Day today and it would be foolish not to _________________. You and I have ______________ and that counts for something. That holds value for me. Even if we cant celebrate the current state of our relationship, even if our relationship is messy right now, we can celebrate the _______________. I know we need to ___________________ our relationship but right now...in this very moment, I feel ______________ and I wanted to let you know that. Happy Valentine's Day!

Option b) Our relationship is complicated. Its messy. Its up...its down...its sideways. However, its not so complicated that I cant say that I _________________ you. Its not so messy that I cant see that you _______________ me. It may look sideways from the outside looking in but I want you to know that in my heart, things are not as complicated as they seem. You are _____________. You bring ________________ into my life and I want to ________________ for you. I see us __________________. This Valentine's Day, let's UNcomplicate things. Let's start with a simple letter. Ill start it and you can finish: Me:I love you and I want our relationship to make it. I want to make you happy. You're worth all the effort it will take. Your turn...what do you say ....... ___________________________________________________

Unhappy - But you want to work it out:

Option a) How did we get here? To a point in our relationship where we ______________ and _______________. How did we get to a point where we don't _______________any more? Is it truly possible that two people who ________________ each other some time ago could ___________________ each other now? Well, this Valentine's Day got me thinking, and I refuse to believe that we _______________. I know that we have both been _______________ and feeling _______________ but that does not mean that we are not capable of __________________. The question we both have to ask ourselves is " What are going to do with all this pain? Are we going to let it waste? or are we going to use it to pull ourselves back up. You and I are _________________and we can _________________ our relationship again. I want us to______________________. It will be difficult but we are worth it...YOU are worth it. Happy Valentine's Day!

Option b) Its true that the relationship has not been a happy one lately. It just kills me that you________________. When I see how far we are from our dream relationship, it just makes me______________. One thing is sure....I am not letting go without a fight. We deserve to be happy....to MAKE each other happy. Call me crazy....but I still choose you. Youre the one that makes me feel _____________. Youre the one that I want to be a better person for. Sure ...lately we have been _______________ and not been very _____________ with each other. I have my share of contributions to this unhappiness we are in but I know that this relationship is _____________________. I am willing to try. Do you remember when we were __________________? When we __________________ each other? Do you remember when we used to ______________________ all the time? Well I do ...and I want those moments back...with YOU. Happy Valentine's Day.
