Yes, it is Valentine’s Day, thanks for the reminder, Derb. (Beware all Hallmark stores at lunchtime, read NRO instead!) To celebrate, we’ve got up some valentines of our own today on NRO: Read about some Women We Love here & Men We Love here.

The men and women NRO readers, writers, and friends admire is long, so these are but a glance…

Also: Is there such a thing as a conservative love story? We asked Myrna Blyth, Rick Brookhiser, Daniell Crittenden, Midge Decter, Rob Long, Michael Medved and more. Check it out here.

We’ve even got a little self-help from Dr. J on love and marriage–Jennifer Roback Morse talks about her book Smart Sex here.

There’s more yet. David Forte on marriage and the Founders. A Roger Scruton flashback on sex.

We even have non-Valentine’s Day-related pieces up today, so check out the homepage.
