Valentine’s Day is nearly here, in case you haven’t seen the aisle at the grocery store covered in pink and red like a Pepto Bismal factory and a candy factory both exploded.

This day can be difficult no matter what your life situation is: single, engaged, divorced, widowed, too young to date, or happily or unhappily married. It is a day that can throw our hopes and expectations back in our faces. So how do faithful people, who believe in love in all it’s wonderful forms and in eternal families but don’t see it in their lives now, approach this holiday and make it a good day?
