Celebrated since the 5th century, Valentine’s Day has always been a time for love and romance. It was named after Saint Valentine, who defied the law that forbid young men from getting married. Saint Valentine married couples in secret until caught and sentenced to death. Despite its romantic beginning, Valentine’s Day is viewed by many as a stressful day for singles and couples. The societal pressure to have a romantic date can make the holiday unenjoyable and hard to plan for.
