I’m no relationship expert, but reading has informed me that the key to a successful marriage / relationship is to give. If both parties give, both get.
Then there is the complication of understanding what your partner values, so you give in the way that is most appreciated. For some, that’s material things, for others it’s time, assistance, thoughtful gestures, taking the rubbish out, etc.

Maybe you give on V day and your partner gives on other (every other) days.

Of course, there is the added complication that V day is a commercialised American construct that spread throughout the world. Just set the expectation early that you will not be part of the commercialisation and the peer pressure. Instead, you give appreciation on a regular basis.

I can't imagine being so selfish.

Giving is trap for most men, at least for me. I tend to give something I like to give instead of something she likes to be given.
