February is known as the month of love primarily because of Valentine’s day. Celebrated on the 14th of February, it’s a day of love where people exchange cards, flowers and gifts with their loved ones. They may usually arrange a dinner or a night out at a fancy restaurant or in a hotel. Here are some other activities you can engage in during the month, to show love to your partner.
