On Valentine’s Day, couples generally show their love for one another by giving cards, flowers, candy and other gifts. But if your budget is tight, there are still ways to romance your love without breaking the bank.

These gifts do require that you have some idea what your Valentine really wants from you. And the cost to you may be more than money in the long run. But choosing one of these gifts may also ensure that you have many more Valentine’s Days ahead with the one you love.

Consider one of these gifts:

• Give the gift of your support for your Valentine’s dreams. For example, if your loved one has expressed a desire to enroll in an online degree program or to finish a college degree, write an encouraging note saying that you love him or her enough to support their dream. Then ask how you can help while they are studying and taking classes.
• Give the gift of your time, especially if you have been busy, distracted or traveling. Write your Valentine an invitation to spend an evening together at a later date doing something your loved one enjoys — like taking a walk, a bike ride, a drive in the country, or even an evening at the ballet or opera. Set a date and keep it.
• Give the gift of communicating your feelings. As mushy as you might think this is, it could really positively impact your Valentine. If your loved one has been concerned that you don’t care and you really do care, write a love letter expressing your true feelings. Let him or her know how much they mean to you. It may not seem like much; but it could mean the world to the person who loves you.
• Give the gift of becoming a better husband, wife, parent, significant other. Write a card, note, letter expressing your love and your desire to help strengthen and improve the relationship. Pick out one thing you do that continues to cause a rift; and express your intention to work on that problem. Maybe you have a short temper; or you do not show any emotions at all. Or you never like to talk or communicate. This is an opportunity to not only improve your relationship, but to change something aout you that needs changing.

These are just a few ways to show your Valentine that you love him or her. And if you choose to give one of these gifts, you may find that you receive the best gift of all — a stronger, more satisfying and more loving relationship.
