Valentines Deconstructed

The first recorded association of Valentine's Day with romance and love is in "Parlement of Foules" by Chaucer, which was written to honor the first anniversary of the engagement of King Richard II of England to Anne of Bohemia.

Please keep in mind, when they married, he was 13 or 14. She was 14.

If you adore someone, you shouldn't just shower them with love one day a year.

You should shower them with love every day.

I'm just sayin'...
