We have been doing a good 75 percent of this list even before we encountered it. Some came from me, others from her. I guess you become creative when you are really in love.

And you don't have to wait for Valentines Day to be in love. You can be in love everyday.

Feel free to comment or add to the list activities which you think can help couples stay together longer and happier.

Other than laughter and hugs, love is, and will remain one of the best medicines around.
