How popular is Valentines Day in America? Not as popular as you may think. 60% will celebrate on Thursday, making just about every other holiday, except St. Patrick's Day, more popular (Source).
Apps to rev up your relationship:
*** Avocado: Avocado is an app that let's you stay in touch with your sweetie by sending cute messages, share photos, manage dates, create shared lists (vacation ideas, grocery lists), and send hugs and kisses (the app vibrates when you place the phone against your chest).
*** BeCouply: Fresh ideas for date night.
*** Treat: Design your own greeting card using personal photos and customized text. These are real greeting cards you can send to your sweetie (unless, of course, it's a Saturday). The app is free but, of course, the cards comes with a price.

How to stay together
This may not match the advice grandma gave you on your wedding day, but we're finding out the key to a lasting relationship is sharing similar vices. A new study found couples were less likely to divorce if their drinking habits were the same. Get this from the study:
For straight couples where the man was a heavy or “hazardous” drinker, the divorce rate was 13.1%. When the woman was the heavy or hazardous drinker, the divorce rate jumped to 26.8%. Couples in which both spouses were heavy drinkers had a divorce rate if 17.2%. If both spouses were light drinkers, however, the divorce rate was a mere 5.8%.
The best advice is to watch how much you're tipping the bottle back, but when you do, do it together!

A man was looking to hire a driver for a bus tour business. Three men applied for the job. He calls one into his office to interview him. The man says that he can put the wheels right on the edge of a bridge, drive, and not fall off.
The employer is very impressed. He calls another man in. This man says that he can put the wheels halfway off of a bridge, drive, and not fall off.
The employer is again very impressed. He calls the last man in. He says, "I heard what the other two guys said, and I don't think I could match them. I usually drive in the middle of a bridge".
