History

While Promise Day is a modern addition to Valentine’s Week, the tradition of making and keeping promises has existed for centuries across cultures. From the solemn vows exchanged in marriages to the oaths of loyalty taken by knights and warriors in medieval times, promises have always been a cornerstone of strong relationships.

In literature and folklore, promises symbolise trust, honour, and commitment. They shape the narratives of love stories, legendary friendships, and heroic sacrifices. Whether it’s a knight vowing to protect his kingdom or two friends swearing lifelong loyalty, these commitments have always held deep significance.

Make these important promises to your partner this Valentine's week

In the 21st century, as social media and AI revolutionised, people also tried to adapt to it at the same pace. Social media & AI, which is far from reality, is creating gaps between reel and real. In this revolution, where people are getting advanced and adapting AI technologies, one thing they are leaving behind is the touch of humans.

The relationships has become so fragile that it breaks, and people tend to move on from each other so easily, because in the world of digitisation, they are forgetting how to live in a slow place, how to form an emotional bond, because they are now unable to understand the importance of relationships.

But, if you are someone who understands the importance of emotional bond, patience, slow pace, then promise to your partner to be their side no matter what the circumstances are, promise that you will always understand and be loyal, and respect. Show them how important your partner is to you.
