This Valentine's Day, we're all about thoughtful presents that will stand the test of time.

3) For your fiance: the gift of physically intervening when the qazi tries to cancel her right to divorce on your nikkahnama

4) For your working wife: the gift of microwaving your dinner yourself

5) For your wife who's a homemaker: the gift of co-parenting, not babysitting

6) For your new boyfriend: the gift of letting him be your plus one to the Aurat March so he can learn something

7) For your longtime boyfriend: the gift of supporting his passion to be a chef, not a banker

8) For your husband: the gift of supporting him to seek therapy for his work stress
