Mrs. Obama told the Associated Press how she and Barack keep their strong bond going after 19 years of marriage:
"I think a lot of laughing. I think in our house we don't take ourselves too seriously, and laughter is the best form of unity, I think, in a marriage. So we still find ways to have fun together, and a lot of it is private and personal. But we keep each other smiling and that's good," Mrs. Obama said.
She adds that it helps that Barack is "very romantic."
"He remembers dates, birthdays. He doesn't forget a thing, even when I think he is. . I'll have a little attitude. I give him a little attitude, but he always comes through. Got to keep the romance alive, even in the White House."
So what did a thoughtful, romantic president do for his lady on Valentine's Day?
Surprisingly Michelle said:
"We don't make a big deal out of Valentine's Day because my birthday was the 17th (of January), so by Feb. 14, we're kind of tired."
For her 47th birthday last month, the Obamas dined at The Source, celebrity chef Wolfgang Puck's restaurant at the Newseum in Washington.
We hope that everyone spent their Valentines day the way they wanted!
