Would you like your marriage and other significant relationships to be stronger and more loving?
The answer is found in a place many of us would never think to look.
A birthday party and a funeral at the same time?
Americans are spending more on Valentine’s Day this year than ever before—a record $25.8 billion. However, this does not mean that romance in America is healthier than ever:
- More than half of today’s spending ($14.2 billion) is on “significant others,” from pets to friends and co-workers.
- “Galentine’s” parties have been held leading up to Valentine’s Day for women who are not in romantic relationships.
- The Chinese food restaurant P. F. Chang’s is offering free “DUMPlings” for anyone who’s been recently dumped and needs some heartbreak comfort food.
- A majority of single Americans aren’t looking for romance today or at any other time.
