If you are asking about St. Valentine whose feast day we celebrate on February 14, he was a priest, possibly a bishop, in Rome. He followed a life of heroic virtue. When the Roman Emperor ordered that he would not allow marriages to be performed, Valentine continued to marry people in secret. The emperor was having problems raising an army as he could not draft married men. When the emperor learned that Valentine was continuing to marry couples, he had him arrested and thrown in prison. After torture, Valentine has martyred for his faith. This is why Valentine is considered the patron saint of love. Martyrdom for one's faith is generally considered a first class ticket to Heaven. Valentine would have been proclaimed a saint by popular acclaim as there was no official process in place for canonization.
