Make Time for Valentine’s Day

Showing your partner that you care and appreciate them is more important than ever during times of economic stress, and it needn’t cost anything says Relationship Services.

“When people are feeling under pressure, it is especially important to look after your relationships. They are fundamental to our wellbeing, and it is easy to take them for granted,” said Mr Cary Hayward, Relationship Services National Practice Manager. “Relationships need nourishing to stay strong and healthy, especially when things are tough.”

“Valentine’s Day is a good chance to do something special for your loved one, and that doesn’t need to mean spending loads of money. Often the most precious things we can give are time and attention.”

“It might be as simple as turning off the phone and watching a favourite DVD together, or making time to go for a walk or have a picnic,” said Mr Hayward.

Relationship Services encourages people to look past the pressure to spend and to do something special this Valentine’s Day to nurture their relationship.”
