“Do something special to re-enforce and celebrate your relationship.”

This is the message of Couples Appreciation Month, founded in 2010.

Show your partner you appreciate them with a step outside the usual routine. Mix it up. Plan a special date. Buy a small and thoughtful gift.

And if you’re single, this is a great month to let the couples in your life know that you appreciate them giving you the warm fuzzies because they are doing it right!

And for those of you in throttles (or more), let everyone that you’re partnered with how important they are to you, in the ways that make your connections unique.
