When you were still a youngster, and Valentine's Day drew near,
Did you hope, in your love-struck heart, your true love would appear?
Did movie stars and chocolate bars, all swirling in your mind,
Bring fantasies and daydreams of the most romantic kind?
When I am 20, a Doctor will be the man for me ~
Or just perhaps, a TV star, my sweetheart then will be
Tall and handsome will be my beau, he'll worship at my feet
He'll buy me chocolate candy to tell me I am sweet
He'll bring me long-stemmed roses and drive a limousine
When he takes me out to dinner, I'll feel just like a queen!
We'll text and chat and telephone all throughout the day,
And how we'll miss each other when one of us is away!
But just in case I fall in love with a man who has no money,
I won't regret the day we met, when his words were sweet as honey
He'll be my shining hero and I'll be his turtle-dove
We'll be the happy couple who prove . . . . . You Can Live on Love!
In the same way, you husbands must give honor to your wives.
Treat your wife with understanding as you live together. She may be weaker than you are,
but she is your equal partner in God's gift of new life . . . . . I Peter 3:7 NLT

And, my mother and father. He was 21, just out of CCC camps because he quit school in his senior year and couldn't get a job. Now, in 1941, unable to join the Army for medical reasons, he was doing odd jobs like setting pins at night to pay for his new car that he couldn't afford to pay the payments on, a 39 Buick sedan. She was 17 and graduated from high school with the knowledge that she wouldn't go to college because she was already pregnant with twins (my brother and I).
So, they rented a shack behind a farmer's barn. Dad sold the Buick and bought older used cars. Mom was the monetary genius juggling bills for my spendthrift father, and they were able to retire when he was 62 and she was 57.

However, I did not live Valentines Day as a youngster.
But I am living it now!
I am married to my Valentine Princess and do we have fun!
Wow!
I enjoy spoiling my princess and buying her surprises too.
It's like life is younger now that I am married and she is pushing
Sixty-two.
