The Connection Between Valentine’s Day and Ash Wednesday

As we approach both Valentine’s Day and Ash Wednesday, it can be asked, is there a connection between these two events?

While both holidays are about drastically different events, they do have some fascinating intersections and differences.

Both holidays are recognized by those of the Catholic faith.

Valentine’s Day is known for its name after St. Valentine, who it is believed may actually have been multiple different people, according to History.com. However, the act of heroism that St. Valentine is most acknowledged and celebrated for is secretly marrying couples during a time when Emperor Claudius II outlawed marriage in order to make men better soldiers.

How to Grow a Powerful Marriage

To have a blessed supernatural marriage, you must know and do the things in the rulebook of God’s Word. It’s that simple, yet so many couples think that their lives will be too boring or too demanding. Living under the supernatural covering of God’s blessing guarantees the strength and wisdom to overcome temptations and difficulties.

A marriage that is not plugged into and connected to God is one that sooner or later will experience a meltdown and the attacks of the enemy.

What attacks? Indifference, lukewarmness, control, manipulation, ego problems, small white lies, insatiable desires, mistrust, suspicion and all the things the enemy uses to bring. All these evil qualities are rooted in disobedience and self-will.
