We will admit that having kids is not as easy as it sounds and can widen the divide if your marriage/relationship is already experiencing some challenges. But we think that using the word "ruin" is way too harsh!

Kids require you to communicate differently, and more often, as well as more intentionally.

Often times, spouses feel the pressure to purchase gifts, candy, flowers, and fancy dinners to celebrate Valentine's Day. But I think that pressure is unnecessary!

Valentine's Day should be an expression of your love for your spouse in the way that they receive love; which looks different for each marriage/relationship!
