Matthew 9:12 But when Jesus heard that, he said unto them, They that be whole need not a physician, but they that are sick. [kjv]

ο δε ακουσας ειπεν ου χρειαν εχουσιν οι ισχυοντες ιατρου αλλα οι κακως εχοντες [gnt]

at Iesus audiens ait non est opus valentibus medico sed male habentibus [v]

The Latin word "valentibus" ≈ "strong" and is the source of the Latin name "Valentine" meaning "strong". From Saint Valentine (there were two of them) comes the holiday known as Saint Valentine's Day on February 14.
Valentine's Day has become a marketing bonanza and commercial celebration of love and romance.

Matthew 9:12 But when Jesus heard that, he said unto them, They that be whole need not a physician, but they that are sick. [kjv]

9:13 But go ye and learn what that meaneth, I will have mercy, and not sacrifice: for I am not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance. [kjv]

The strong (who oppress the harmed) are righteous (in their own eyes) and do not want the healer (Jesus).
The harmed (who are oppressed by the strong) want a healer (Jesus).
Mercy is needed from the strong (who oppress) and not sacrifice from the harmed (as man's additions to God's laws).
I have not come to call the righteous (in their own eyes) as they do not want the healer (Jesus). (They will not listen nor repent)
I have come to call the sinners as they want the healer (Jesus). (They, at least, will listen and may or may not repent.)

The Feast of Saint Valentine was established on February 14 in 496 AD by Pope Gelasius in honor of Saint Valentine of Rome who was martyred in 269 AD, about 50 years before Christianity became tolerated and then the official religion of the Roman empire.
Saint Valentine's Day become connected with romantic love in the 1300's and 1400's with ideas of "courtly love", "lovebirds" in early spring, etc.

What does it mean to "do it for love"?

In the 1700's in England it became a time when couples expressed their love for each other with gifts and other tokens of love such as cards, candy, etc.

Commercial forces have taken over the original idea of Valentine's Day. Which logo makes the most cents? For whom does it make cents? Has this trend moved to college and then to high schools?

A similar thing happen with Saint Nicholas after moving his day from December 5 to December 25 in the Middle Ages and, at times since, often emphasizing Santa Claus more than Christ at Christmas. To counter this, Luther introduced the "Christ child" or "Kristkind" whose name, through Dutch, became "Kris Kringle".
