In the third century Roman Empire needed more soldiers to invade the Goths, and they believed that the men would fight better if they weren't married, so emperor Claudius II banned traditional marriage in the military. Saint Valentine was a priest in Rome, he risked the Emperor by secretly marrying soldiers. When Emperor Claudius demanded that Christians to worship pagan idols, Saint Valentine refused. Saint Valentine was arrested, dragged before the prefect of Rome, and was put to death for standing up for what he believed in. I don't like Valentine's Day because you shouldn't just love someone more on this particular day. You should love them that much everyday. People shouldn't need to give gifts to show their love. Valentine's day is to show all the people you love, how much you do love them.
