A glance at the calendar tells me that Valentine's Day is approaching. Many people hardly question this day anymore, as it has already become a normal annual event as "lovers' day". If you believe the stories, Saint Valentine must have been a patron saint of lovers. Despite a ban in the 3rd century, Valentine dared to marry lovers according to Christian custom. These marriages were therefore under special protection. Well-bred as Valentine was, he gave the loving couple flowers that had grown in his garden. Ultimately, Valentine paid for his actions with his life. He was beheaded on February 14, 269.
Let flowers speak
Countless centuries later, lovers pushed dancing couples across the dance floor at the first “Valentine’s Ball” in 1950. Through targeted advertising, the flower industry also ultimately took advantage of this special day during the economic miracle years.
Of course, you don't just love each other particularly much on February 14th. Love should also be worth a bouquet of flowers or similar tokens on the other 364 days of the year. You would certainly argue with me about whether February 14th is more of a "business" or "a special day" for you. I am one of those who use this day as an additional sign to show your partner how much you love them. And if I then support the flower trade (especially now during the Corona period), I have done two good deeds in one day. What more could I want? 💕

Even giants love dwarves
Speaking of being in love. Do you have any specific ideas/wishes about what your dream man should look like? As a tall woman, it is not very easy to find a physically suitable partner. Tall men are not exactly in abundance. I know women for whom it is an absolute "no-go" if their partner is shorter than them. I don't see it that way. For me, the feeling, the person, is the decisive factor, not his physical size. My partner is actually a little shorter than me. To be precise: 1.82 m, even 1.85 m with shoes. I am 1.86 m tall without shoes. But that doesn't mean I walk around barefoot. I still wear my pumps. My partner doesn't mind - on the contrary, he is rather proud to have a tall woman by his side. We often look at the physical size difference with a laugh. And there are other couples whose difference is much greater. Where love falls...
Even in the world of stars, you often see tall women with short men at their side. Examples that come to mind are Carla Bruny and Maria Furtwängler. Nicolas Sarkozy and Hubert Burda also boast a tall woman as their life partner.
We often have the following image of society in our heads: a tall, successful man with a smaller, younger partner at his side.
But why shouldn't it be completely normal the other way around? It's not just a partner's looks and professional success that are important. For me, humor, understanding, empathy and attentiveness play a big role alongside intelligence. I'd rather give up a few centimeters in height if I know that my partner has exactly these qualities.
Kissing at eye level
I can also feel safe and loved when my partner is smaller than me. It is the daily gestures and the way we treat each other that make love worth living. If a short man has good self-confidence, I think he is proud of his tall partner and does not shy away from taking her out to a candlelit dinner in stilettos.
When you cuddle together, your height is even less noticeable, because when you're lying down, only one thing is important: your feelings for each other. Who pays attention to the centimeters that separate you in everyday life? When you're lying down, you can kiss at eye level 😉
In this sense: follow your heart, not society’s image.
