Send us Fan Mail

Valentine's Day is approaching and you know what that means - love is in the air. According to WalletHub, Valentine's Day is the second priciest holiday on the calendar for US consumers shelling out more than $27.4 billion last year. According to Good Housekeeping, it is actually Teachers who receive the most Valentine's Day cards each year with kids, mothers, and wives following. According to Forbes magazine, Valentine's Day is celebrated differently throughout the world (i.e. Latin American countries use it to show gratitude to friends, in Japan it's more customary for the women to give chocolates to the men in their lives), but they all have one thing in common that they are trying to signify - love!

In this episode, we are joined by Geremy Keeton, senior director of the counseling services department of Focus on the Family, and a licensed marriage and family therapist. We'll take an inside look at the stages of love, how to have healthy relationships and avoid the toxic ones, dive into all things dating from online dating and dating your spouse to even what age your kids should start dating and what that looks like. We will also discuss traditions that we can create as a result of perhaps having a new perspective on what Valentine's Day is - or could be.
