Two Weeks of Valentines for Couples
So often we homeschooling moms struggle to find time to nurture our relationships with our husbands. It’s hard to make time for our husbands when we’re so busy (and often so overwhelmed) with homeschooling, cooking, cleaning, and just trying to keep everyone fed and alive! That’s why we created two weeks of valentines for couples! We know it’s a small thing to give your husband a valentine (or two, or three…), but it could be the beginning of a new emphasis on making your relationship with your husband a priority.
Several years ago, I found a set of 14 Valentines and printed them out. Each morning from February 1st through the 14th, I cut one out and wrote a message on it (either sweet or suggestive or whatever seemed to fit that day’s card and mood). Then I tip-toed out to my husband’s car and left that day’s card for him to find when he got in his car to go to work. Sometimes I added a piece of candy or something else I thought he might like. Some days I just left the card. The main point was that he would know I was thinking about him.
Some days he would call me and say something about the card I left for him that day. Other days he didn’t mention it. My husband isn’t typically a very emotional or sentimental guy, but I knew he liked them and appreciated that I left them for him. However, I didn’t really know how much they meant to him until Valentine’s Day was over.
The morning after Valentine’s Day was over (the first day that there wasn’t a card to leave in my husband’s car), I casually mentioned that, since Valentine’s Day was over and all the cards were gone, I wouldn’t have a card to leave in the car for him anymore.
I had hardly gotten the sentence out of my mouth when he said, “Oh no! Don’t stop!” I don’t know if he even remembers saying that, but I remember. It let me know how much he had enjoyed it when I left those cards for him for those 14 days. Even though he hadn’t made a big deal out of it, those cards (and the time I spent writing on them for him each day) meant something very special to him.
Ever since that happened, I’ve been meaning to have a set of valentines created to share right here on Hip Homeschool Moms for those of us who might like to leave 14 days of Valentines in our husbands’ cars or lunch boxes (or wherever else!).
This is a sweet and thoughtful gesture that’s easy to do, but you never know how much it might mean to your husband! As moms and teachers, we stay so busy and are always in such a hurry. I’m sure our husbands (and we ourselves) sometimes feel like we get lost in the busyness of every day. We probably don’t make time for our husbands as often as we should.
So I want to challenge you to download these Valentines, print them out, and give one to your husband each day from February 1 through Valentine’s Day. You never know what it might mean to him! Take a moment to write a message on each one. Do it each day, or write them all at once if you need to. Do whatever works for you and the amount of time you have, and treat your husband to some extra thoughtfulness and kindness during this season of love.
Important note: If you’re reading this article after February 1, that’s ok! Just use these 14 days of valentines beginning on whatever day it happens to be, and keep giving them to your hubby until you run out.
I’ve included several different kinds of Valentines in this set so that you have a lot of options for different days and moods. Some of them are sweet. Some of them are fun. Some of them are a little bit suggestive. It is our hope that these Valentines are a blessing to you and your husband!

These are so cute! We don’t really celebrate Valentine’s Day (hubby says it’s a “Hallmark” holiday) but would use these if we did 🙂
Exactly! That’s why I wanted to provide these free Valentines! That way we can let our husbands know we’re thinking about them without having to turn it into an occasion to spend money! 🙂
What a lovely idea to give a card a day.
I love the card a day idea, very sweet
These are the cutest! I love the design and the idea! I downloaded it and intend on sharing them with my husband! Thank you! 🙂
You are very welcome!
Wow thanks super cute!!!

These cards are so cute, thanks for sharing! And what a great idea to spread the love out and give cards for two weeks. 🙂
It’s the heartfelt gestures that mean so much more to those we love rather than simply buying expensive gifts.
the valntine are nice if i was not single i would love to have some sent to me
Sounds like an awesome idea!
Thanks for sharing. I don’t have a sweetheart at this time but I will let my daughter know about it for her husband.
Wonderful Idea!!
This is so sweet. What a great idea!
These look absolutely fun to print and make. I’m sure my husband would get the giggles if I gave him any of these.
That is a sweet idea!
I would love to download this for free.
You can! Just click the link below the valentines! 🙂
Even after many years of marriage there still needs to be time for romance
I like to make Valentine’s Day special for my husband to remind him that he is appreciated! This is a great way to do that!
Love this idea! I will definitely download
I’m single, but these are cute. They would be fun and I’ll keep them in mind for the future.
These are a wonderful idea I think I’ll use a couple of these for my children and then make up a few more!
this is awesome. really like all the information
Great I printed some of your cards yesterday and today I’m making up a few of my own.
Thanks for sharing these adorable cards. They are so sweet!
You’re very welcome!
This is a sweet idea. You are right when you mentioned that we don’t always make enough time for our husband. Mine has been working out of state for over 6 months now. He is returning in a few days to work closer to home. I’m excited about that! I may download some of these.
I love the word “Free”. These are pretty awesome cards and will be downloading them. Thank you very much for the inspirational Valentine’s Day cards, I will put them to good use.
You are very welcome! I’m so glad you like them!
This looks cute!!!
I’ve been mailing the few that I printed from here and the couple that I made to my granddaughter for Valentine’s and she just started getting them. I mail 1 a day she’s loving it! A little something from grandma so far away. I like to stick a little something in the envelope with it, like a couple stickers a picture of her favorite horse etc. This was the best idea ever thank you!
Such a nice idea really for any time of the year! It’s important to remind those that you love that you are thinking of them!
This year I will be totally single, but I think this is a very cute idea!
This is such a cute idea!
Thanks for sharing! These are such cute cards.
Thank you!!
Thank You!
Saving these ideas for next year!
I would love a black & white option so I could color them in myself!
No problem! You can simply print using the black-and-white setting on your printer. 🙂 Then you can color them in using whatever colors you like. 🙂
