...it's not dark yet, but it's gettin' there...
Over at Paul's a commenter named EEKer posted the following comment, and i can't decide whether it's a lame idea or a genius idea.
Years ago I was able to convince my wife that it would be really romantic to switch off for Valentines every year. One year she is the Valentine and the next I am. This was a good move. She ate it up and loves the idea. Now I'm off the hook at least every other year. This year I'm coasting!i guess it depends on how long the relationship has been around. It would probably be a bad idea to suggest trading off years when you're still dating. But after a few years of marriage, i could see the idea having its advantages.
lame idea. he may be "off the hook" this year but what does that mean? Shes no ones valentine that year? It sounds a tad self centered on a day which should be a celebration of love not whos "off the hook" this time. If I loved someone enough to marry them they would be my valentine every year. Call me corny, I dont care.

you're corny i dont care.
This is a great idea because if you plan the most romantic date of your lives every other year and receive the same every other year you'll be together for 80 years like a couple I saw on the news, nightly news that is, last night.
