We want to know what makes you work this week leading up to Valentine’s Day. You and him. You and her. We want to hear about your relationships, whether they be brand new or years old. How do you get through the rough times? What’s the best part? And the big question — what makes it all worth it? Leave your comments here, on our Facebook or at our Twitter feed.

We found two couples at Kent State to kick things off by sharing their stories. Adam Schulte, sophomore biotechnology and math major, and his boyfriend, Andy Sokolich, freshman business and math major, share the story of how they met and their plans for the near future. Greg Solis, freshman communications major, and his boyfriend, Ralphael Tudor, senior psychology major, do the same.

Watch their videos, and then tell us your own story.

— Simon Husted and Kristine Gill, with special thanks to the two couples involved and the photos they contributed.
