Today is February 13. Your dinner reservation is booked (or your Netflix stream is ready), your outfit picked, and your gifts wrapped. The only thing left to do? Determine what to write on this card for your SO
Just signing your name on a printed card or relying on candy and conversation hearts might have worked for you in elementary school, but writing a Valentine’s Day message as an adult means be a little more sincere, despite the fact that you basically meant, “URA QT.” You might be wondering, I tell my partners and friends all the time that I love them, why do I have to do this on February 14th? The short answer: No one will ever blame you for taking a moment to tell them they’re special and important.
“Even if you think your partner knows how you feel, you’re making an assumption, and it helps to express clearly and lovingly not only how you feel, but also why you feel that way,” says Marisa T. Cohen, PhD, relationship researcher and marriage and family therapist. “Your words of affirmation can be very powerful.”
Not only does hearing these types of messages give the recipient warm feelings, but the sender also has the opportunity to share what they are grateful for. In general, expressing gratitude has a positive impact on mental health and well-being, says Cohen. Also, being open about your feelings in any relationship helps strengthen it.
“Social connections, whether with friends, family, or romantic partners, are valuable,” Cohen says. “Letting those who are dear to us know what they mean to us can serve to strengthen the bond, as it lets the other person know that they are valued and loved.”

But if the thought of baring your heart makes her skip a beat the wrong way, Cohen says there’s no one right way to write a heartfelt message — she advises being specific and genuine to your bond. . And remember: no matter what you write, the person will “appreciate that you took the time to think about the relationship.”
