Include some specific details of things that you like about her and your relationship together. At the bottom of the page are some ideas for specific details to include.

A romantic Valentine's Day message is usually the way to go on this beloved day of romance. If you're stuck, you could always try getting some inspiration from famous sayings and quotes, as well.

You are and always will be my Valentine.
You deserve so much more than what I can give you.
Valentine's Day is a day of gratitude for me. I am grateful that you are in my life.
Even though you are my Valentine by default because you are my wife, I want you to know that you still give me those 5th-grade Valentine's Day feelings.
My life will always be better with you than without you.
Every beat of my heart means more time to be alive with you.
I know I always say it, and I hope it doesn't lose its meaning with you because I really do love you.
You're the only person in the world who can make me want to be a sappy romantic.
You are the most beautiful lady I know. I'm the luckiest guy in the world.
You've given me the most beautiful and precious gift I could receive—you!
I like sweets, and I love my sweetie. Be mine?
I am extremely blessed to have you as my wife and my Valentine. I appreciate all that you are and do. You are easy to love and a beautiful person. That's why I want you as my Valentine.
What I deserve is much less than you. What you deserve is much more than me.
I hope you and I will always be excited to be together like we are now. Every day with you is a cause for celebration.
My feelings for you grow stronger every day.
I think chocolate is the item that's most like you. You're addictive, and your kisses taste good.
Cupid had good aim when he shot you for me.
We don't need Valentine's Day as an excuse to boost our romance level. You're crazy about me, and I'm crazy about you.
Tonight is our special night. I can't wait to celebrate our love with you. Happy Valentine's Day!
Thank you for agreeing to be mine; I love you so much, and I can't wait to spend Valentine's Day with you!
This is our [insert number of Valentine's Days you've shared] Valentine's Day together, but every Valentine's Day with you feels special.

Laughter is the best medicine, and sometimes it's the best Valentine's Day present, too.

Funny Messages for Her

If you've been together for a while and you're getting tired of sappy, romantic Valentine's Day messages, try writing her a cute and funny message instead!

We've had some great Valentine's Days together, and I am looking forward to many more. I'll stop getting you lingerie by the time we're in our 80s. Not because you won't look good, but because I just can't take the risk of a heart attack from the excitement.
People can be annoying. That's why we're the only couple I can stand to be around for longer than a brief time.
When you open my gift, remember that it's the thought that counts.
I know you well enough to get you the right kind of card for Valentine's Day. I wasn't able to find any that were just right for you when I looked at Hallmark cards. Luckily, I found one card that I know you will love in my wallet. Guess which card?
Whoever thought up the concept of Valentine's Day probably didn't expect people like us. We are unique. That's what I like about us.
More importantly than learning what to get you for Valentine's Day, I have learned what not to get you for Valentine's Day.
Happy Valentine's Day! No, seriously, because if you're not happy, I sure as hell won't be.
I didn't want to sleep on the couch this Valentine's Day, so I got you a great gift from Amazon.
Ah, Valentine's Day! The day when I empty my pockets for you just to show you my love. Just kidding!
They say money can't buy happiness . . . then why must I spend money on Valentine's Day just to make you happy? Only joking, darling. I love you!
You light up my days; just be sure you don't give me a sunburn!
One day we'll be old and ugly, but I'll probably still love you! Happy Valentine's Day!

If this is your first Valentine's Day together, let your girlfriend know she's important to you with a sweet, heartfelt message.
