Saying “I love you” isn’t just about chocolates, flowers, and romantic dinners. These gifts and ideas for spirituality on Valentine’s Day will help you celebrate with your soul and spirit – whether you’re an “old” Christian married couple or a spiritual being on a first date!
Before the tips, a quip:
“Marriage is not just spiritual communion, it is also remembering to take out the trash” ~ Joyce Brothers.
Doing housework is one of the best, most romantic ways to say “I love you” – whether it’s Valentine’s Day or not! My husband makes the bed every morning and does the dishes every night, and that makes me love him more than all the chocolates and romantic dinners in the world. That said, however…I’ve never turned down a piece of jewelry. If your sweetie believes in the power of the cross, click the pendant shown – it might be a romantic Valentine’s Day gift idea. And, read on for more spiritual ways to celebrate February 14…
6 Spiritual Ideas for Saying “I Love You” on Valentine’s Day
1. Establish a spiritual tradition or routine. Other than praying together as a couple, my husband and I don’t have many spiritual habits. This Valentine’s Day, I’m hoping we establish another spiritual routine that shows both our love for each other and for God! Possible ideas include reading spiritual or Christian books together, having our own communion service on the first Sunday of the month, or learning about different types of religion together.
2. Make a donation to a favorite charity or spiritual organization. Does your partner have a soft spot for a particular mission, church, or spiritual organization? Make a financial donation to that organization in your lover’s name.
3. Have dinner with other spiritual friends. My church organizes a Valentine’s Day dinner for couples and singles every February 14 – and it’s one of my favorite events of the year! I love spending Valentine’s Day with people I’m spiritually connected to. Our conversation topics are facilitated by the organizers, and often focus on love, spirituality, relationships, God, and Valentine’s Day.
4. Send a Christian or spiritual love poem. Valentine’s Day is about love – and if you’re a Christian, you know that God is love and Jesus was the source of selfless, perfect love! Build a stronger spiritual connection with your partner by saying “I love you” with a poem that includes both God (or a higher source of power) and your partner. Weave God’s divine love in with your own love.
5. Send a spiritual email a day. This is a Valentine’s Day gift for Christian or spiritual couples that lasts all year long! Don’t just sign your partner up for a scripture or Bible verse every day…find 365 spiritual quotations or verses that focus on love and connection with divine source of power, and email one to your lover every day for a year.
6. Focus not on buying Valentine’s Day gifts…but on showing love in daily actions. One of my favorite articles about Valentine’s Day is 80 Ways to Say “I Love You” Without Spending Money because it’s all about showing love all year round…not just on one “romantic” day. A spiritual way to celebrate Valentine’s Day is to commit to doing one loving act for your partner every day of the year.

This are great tips, but my husband isn’t spiritual…………..and I am. It’s not really a huge problem in our relationship, but I wish we could be more spiritual together. Bringing spirituality into Valentine’s Day would be amazing.
Any ideas on how I can do that?
Thx,
Val
Hi Valerie,
I’m sure Laurie will have some good tips on how to bring spirituality into your Valentines Day beyond what she suggested above – as her Quips & Tips for Spiritual Seekers writing partner, I’d like to add a few suggestions here.
Even though your husband may not be actively spiritual – he is still a spiritual being in a human body. There are many aspects of spirituality that people possess without labeling them as spiritual – for example, compassion, love, kindness and forgiveness are all spiritual qualities. Perhaps you could initiate a conversation around one of these topics on its own and that will invoke the spirit to arise within your husband.
Another spiritual thing to do is to focus on gratitude as it is a high level vibration of consciousness – perhaps the two of you could share what you are each grateful for in eachother and in your relationship on Valentine’s Day.
Another thing I love to do is to turn inward (in a prayer or meditative state) and really connect with who I am as a spiritual being, bigger than my mind and body. I then create an image of my hubby out in front of me. At first I see his physical presence and body personality, but then I look deeper into his soul. I connect with him on that level and have a loving conversation with him. Then when I open my eyes and have contact with him later in the day, it somehow has set the tone for a deeper, more intimate connection. Try it and let us know if it works for you.
