I have created the Midlife Butterfly Club as a Community to support and guide women going their midlife transition with the help of those who care for them.
What is Valentine’s Day for? Beyond chocolates and roses, this day serves as a reminder to cherish and renew love—especially for midlife couples who have weathered life’s ups and downs together.
Fairy tales and romantic comedies paint a picture of “happily ever after,” but real relationships require effort, growth, and intentional connection. As time passes, careers, children, and daily routines often take priority, leaving romance in the background. This stage, known as the “Working Love” phase, is when many couples struggle to maintain intimacy.
But love doesn’t have to fade—it can evolve into something even deeper. Valentine’s Day is the perfect moment to pause and focus on rekindling that spark. Whether it’s planning a special getaway, writing a heartfelt note, or simply spending uninterrupted time together, small efforts can make a big difference.
In our latest magazine blog post, What Is Valentine’s Day For?, we explore how midlife couples can navigate this season of love and strengthen their bond. Whether your relationship feels rock-solid or in need of renewal, this article offers insights and practical ways to keep love alive.
Don’t let another Valentine’s Day pass as just another date on the calendar. Celebrate your relationship in a way that truly matters.
