Valentine Day questions (or Valentine’s Day) can be a blast for church women’s ministry groups, giving everyone a cool chance to celebrate love and friendship in the community. Women’s groups can plan fun get-togethers, or “Galentine’s Day,” that build camaraderie and spiritual growth, like potluck dinners where everyone brings their favorite love-themed dish.
Do you know where Valentine’s Day (or Valentine Day) came from?
I did a little research, and Valentine’s Day started in ancient Rome, likely from the mid-February festival Lupercalia, which celebrated fertility and love.
It became linked to Saint Valentine, a martyr who secretly married soldiers not allowed to wed.
Over time, February 14 turned into a day to celebrate love, becoming popular in medieval Europe with romantic poetry and letters. By the 19th century, giving Valentine’s Day cards became common, forming the modern celebration of love we know today.

Plus, you can “love” outward.
Your women’s group can do activities like making sweet Valentine’s cards to share with local nursing homes or shelters, which can spread joy and make a real difference outside the church.
Another idea—in addition to the Valentine’s Day questions—is to share personal stories about love, faith, and friendship.
You can use this time to have the women’s ministry connect more deeply and chat about what love means in their lives.
I’ll bet you all can spark some really meaningful discussions.
Since God is love, you definitely need to throw in some worship elements!
Playing Christian love-themed hymns, reading scripture about love, or having worship leaders minister can amp up the vibe and make it a day all about romantic love and the incredible love we share with Jesus.

Games to Try for Valentine’s Day
Here are four Valentine’s Day question games that are fun for groups or women’s ministry gatherings:

Take turns asking fun “Would You Rather” questions related to love and relationships. Example questions:
- Would you rather receive a handwritten love letter or a heartfelt video message?
- Would you rather go on a fancy dinner date or have a cozy night at home with homemade food?
2. Love & Friendship Valentine Day Questions in the form of Trivia
Prepare a mix of Bible-based and general love-related trivia questions. Examples:
- In 1 Corinthians 13, what is the first quality of love listed? (Answer: Love is patient.)

3. “How Well Do You Know?” Challenge

Once matched, they can discuss what the verse means to them.
