If you’re looking for romantic Valentine’s Day ideas, our host talks about why a certain outside of the (velvet) box gift is a better symbol of “forever.” While it may not be the most romantic gift you ever received, it definitely demonstrates lasting love. Because – spoiler alert – it even outlives the promise of ‘til death do us part. So if you’re thinking of proposing on Valentine’s Day, maybe consider adding this idea to the mix. Already married? This may be one of the best ways to show your wife you love her. Romance after marriage in real life or a deeper commitment than a diamond ring? You decide. Tune in, then have your say in the comments!
