Love might look different this Valentine’s Day due to the COVID-19 pandemic but this doesn’t mean couples can’t express their love in a meaningful and memorable way.

If a couple can afford it, there are many local restaurants where people can take their loved one to on Valentine’s Day. But if people are on a budget, there is other just as heartwarming ways to express your love for your significant other.

Studies have proven that everyone looks at love differently and there are five love languages which are words of affirmation, quality time, receiving gifts, acts of service, and physical touch. You can reach your partner best when you express love according to their love language. If you don’t know them well, ask their parents or siblings or even a close friend of theirs what your partner love language is.

Some economical ideas to do this Valentine’s Day are write a list of all your partner’s good qualities and make a homemade card with these affirmations on it.

If their love language is acts of service, present them with a list of five errands you will do for them in the near future.

You can cook your partner’s favorite food and have a candlelight dinner at home with them.

Another idea if the person likes to spend quality time is to go for a drive to their favorite spot in town.

If gifts are what they like, find someone in town who creates homemade gifts and have one custom made for them.

Other ideas are to borrow a book of poetry from the library and read poems that are a reflection of your love for them or if you are poetic, write your own poem to them.

Create a scrapbook together which holds all the photos you captured of the time you were together.
