National Couple's Day is celebrated on Aug. 18 every year to cherish love and togetherness. This day is dedicated to showing your partner how much they mean to you or doing something special for them.

On this day, do whatever makes you and your partner a perfect pair. Cook a romantic meal together, spend some quality time, share your love with a couple's post on social media or just be next to each other. National Couple's Day is not an official holiday.
