She explained that he does everything right to show his love for her, however, he does not believe in celebrating Valentine’s Day, which she considers a special occasion for lovers to express their affection in various ways.
According to her, he has avoided celebrating the day with her throughout the years they have been together, a situation she says has made her question the love they share.
She believes she deserves a love worth celebrating on a day set aside for lovers. She therefore sent an anonymous message to the Rhythmz Live show on GHOne TV seeking advice.
Rhythmz Live is an entertainment show that focuses on music, celebrity interviews, and interactive segments. It is designed to engage viewers through audience participation and lively discussions.
Presenting the subject for discussion, the host said:
“I’m with a good man who loves and treats me well, but he does not celebrate or acknowledge Valentine’s Day. He shows me love almost every day, yet I still feel unloved when it’s not recognised on that special day each year.”
The matter has since generated discussion, with several people sharing differing opinions. Speaking on the show, a guest noted the need for individual love languages to be respected and acknowledged in relationships.

She noted that a person may be doing many things right in a relationship, however, if they fail to consider their partner’s love language, their efforts may amount to nothing. She said:
“Love languages should be respected in relationships. You may show someone love every day, but if it’s not in the way he or she wants, then you’re not doing it right. If you can give gifts on birthdays and other occasions, why not on Valentine’s Day? People keep memories of special days, and Valentine’s Day should not be an exception.”
February 14th is celebrated as Valentine's Day, a special occasion for lovers to express their love for eachother. It is often marked with the exchange of gifts and romantic gestures.
While some view it as a meaningful tradition that strengthens emotional bonds, others believe that love should be shown through everyday actions rather than on a single specific date.
