Married Men: Do any of y'all get your wives more than a card and flowers on Valentines?

I don't buy her anything. Nothing. Married for 14 years and my wife is cool enough to not even think twice about me not getting her anything. Seriously. We do plenty of very cool things together and making a big deal out of a made up "holiday" would just be weird. Couples who go big on Valentine's Day would be better served spending the money on marriage counseling as that is an indicator of a lame marriage in desperate need of help.

I don't acknowledge the "holiday".

We go out to dinner (usually the day before or after since too many restaurants jack up their prices on the actual day). We get each other cards. She saves all the cards I've gotten her so I know they mean a lot. I travel a lot so if I'm out of town on the actual day I'll send her flowers. We've been married almost 20 years and its still good, so I view this stuff as maintenance. It's harmless and pays big dividends. (she s a good lady).

We don't observe this commercial holiday, as it was invented by the greeting card industry (or some other businesses) to separate you from your money. We get along great without gifts and cards we don't need.

A card, a box of chocolate dipped strawberrys and a decathlon (ten different positions, one minute duration for each, she picks the 'finale').

Dang! I forgot the card!

Get her a hotel room, a brace of black bulls, some hard liquor, and watch the explosive fun. She will love it forever.

I don't think I have ever given my wife anything for valentine's day.

I also did not get her anything for Mother's day after the birth of our first child--it never crossed my mind-- while I did get something for my own mother. That did not go over well.

I did, however, provide her with spectacular cunnilingus last night for 30 minutes.

So far, so good?

Must not have been that spectacular if it took 30 minutes.

True. Sorry

The retailers have pushed Valentines day to be a second christmas. It's really sickening. For years this was a "Hallmark holiday", a card maybe some flowers. Somewhere in lat 90's I started noticing a push for jewelry and big gifts.

Either write'do any of you' or 'do y'all' not both

Agree. If I see another "He went to Jared!" jewelry commercial I'll puke. Having said that, a card and flowers is appropriate. Dinner is good too.

Success.

She likes me to lick her butthole

We have been married 30 years. I run and he does not exercise.

He gives me all his money and I do not have to work.

I take care of the kids and the house and him.

Every day is the same. STABLE and fine

I got a pretty good deal from flowers Canada. They had a very nice collection of flowers under fifty dollar. I send flowers for my love online via Flowers Canada. They delivered it via fed ex and the flowers were fresh and lovely.
