Couple Appreciation Month

  April Celebrations 

Don't wait for extraordinary opportunities. Seize common occasions and make them great. - Orison Marden

Did you know February isn’t the only month to love and appreciate your partner? April is Couple’s Appreciation Month. 

This observance was founded in 2010 by Blissful Escapes Company to encourage couples to do something special to re-enforce and celebrate relationships. Since then, the idea has caught on among both couples and singles who want to show their spouse or couple friends how much they enjoy their company.

So, what are some of the ways to intentionally connect?

Consider a floral bouquet, planning an at-home movie night, writing your partner a heartfelt letter, or arranging a picnic in the park.

Or shape your day by walking, even in the rain...

Some people feel the rain. Others just get wet.

Or how about a night out at for gourmet French cuisine?

As Virginia Woolf says, One cannot think well, love well, sleep well, if one has not dined well.

A gourmet meal without a glass of wine just seems tragic somehow.

It's remarkable how long we've tolerated each other.

It is said that all you need is love, but a pistachio raspberry mousse cake and a slice of chocolate dulce now and then won't hurt.

No matter how big or small the gesture, love is best felt in action.

There’s no time like the present to show your partner how much they mean to you. Regardless of whether your relationship may be like a walk in the park... Jurassic Park included.

The journey may not be perfect. Definitely will never be, but it's yours.

Stick with it till the end.
