Is Valentines Day True Love??

   In the article "Historically Incorrect Canoodling" by Stephanie Coontz from New York Times she describes how Valentines Day really wasn't for couples being together and being romantic. . Also, in the article marriage horrified people who invented Valentines Day. It was for people not to be in love, married and to have sex. Stephanie says in the article that even when people were married the really couldn't have sex. If they did it had to not pleasurable and sex only was if you wanted to have kids. But now people use Valentines Day as a romance movie. Where they go to the movies, going on dates, cuddling and etc. When back then Valentine's Day was invented for people not to be in love but to not do any type of Valentines Day activity. 

 My opinion is that Valentines Day should go back to being people not in love like before because I personally i don't like Valentines Day. But then again you still have family on Valentines Day that you can love and cherish just for being there in your life. Another thing is there are other people who still are in love and would be in love no matter what anyone says, so you can't really do anything about it.  

Then you have a bad side to this situation because on Valentines Day young people lose their virginity and then the next day the person might leave then your alone. So you really have to watch out for who you're with on Valentines Day.That was the only good thing about back in the day that people couldn't do things like that on Valentines Day and they would play it safe.
