Do you celebrate Valentine's Day? 

February 14th, is a regular day.

Tim here! They day after I proposed, I felt this extreme weight on my shoulders. I felt the weight of the responsibility to protect. I knew moving forward that I would have to bring my best. That was something I hadn't ever done. Tap in as we explore, protecting your partner.
