Miller Minutes
Wednesday was Valentine’s Day, so if you were wondering why your significant other was mad at you for forgetting something … you’re welcome.
In all seriousness, the season of love can be stressful for some. If you struggle to give “the perfect gift” or are allergic to flowers, I could see why.
What’s wonderful about the modern world is the abundance of research about the best ways to show someone you love them, or at least appreciate them. Sociologists have also discovered the ways we are wired to give and receive love can be totally different, and rightly so.
The important thing to remember is if you like getting gifts but your partner likes when you offer to mop the floor, your mission is clear. Similarly, if you enjoy flowers but your partner likes going to the symphony … fill in the blank.
No matter what your love language is, knowing the person you’re trying to impress is sure to score you major points. If you missed having a date this week, it’s not too late to ask your crush out on the town. There are places to go and things to see this weekend. Check them out here!
