As Valentine’s Day approaches, married psychiatrists give relationship advice

Valentine’s Day is on Saturday, and if you’re still working on getting flowers or candy, time is running out.

And it looks like people are expecting some good gifts, with the average person budgeting $200.

Candy is still the favorite gift, followed by flowers, cards, a night out and jewelry. But we know Valentine’s Day is about more than gifts, so we had a conversation about strengthening your relationships.

Dr. Simran Chawa and Dr. Mansi Chawa, both psychiatrists at Henry Ford Medical Center in Troy, joined Local 4 Live to give relationship advice. You can watch the full interview at the beginning of this article.
