LOVE AND RELATIONSHIPS

We are close to February, which some people consider the love month because of Saint Valentine's Day. 

There are lots of expressions and idioms that are used to talk about love and relationships and new ones are created everyday. Most of them come from songs. Here you have some in case you want to use them with the person you love.
