He didn't want them to marry because so many men wanted to get married and he was worried that none of them would want to sign up for his army, so he decided to stop his soldiers from being married. It wasn't just his soldiers that he banned from marrying it was everyone. But a man named Father Valentine married the soldiers and other young lovers in secret. But of course Claudius found out and had Father Valentine sent to prison.
The couples he married brought his flowers and nots for his cell. And on the day he was sent to be executed he gave a girl a note and it said 'From your Valentine'. That is where the tradition started for sending Valentines day cards and gifts.
Hope this helps. ;)
