In honor of Valentine's Day next week, we thought we'd put together a list of ways to win the heart of a Marine. We asked for ideas from our friends on Facebook and Twitter and have shared some below.

Be able to cook - The bottom line is Marine's love food. Ginger Williamson suggested this, "I would make a red white and bleu dinner with a thick Porter house steak topped with bleu cheese crumbles served with mozzarella stuffed tomatoes!" Now that sounds ah-mazing!

Enjoy video games - Hours are spent playing video games. But it was suggested by Travis Hartman to "like to play Call of Duty!" I guess if you can't beat them, join them?

Be everything - As Lauren Glascoe put it "be the girl he can't live without, the best friend he ever had & remember his job is his life, literally." Very poetic, and true!
