Although I do like the sound of "love victoriously", how about:

Back:   'ej nItebHa' yay wIchav
"and together we will achieve victory"

Back:   'ej nItebHa' may'/noH wIQap
"and together we will win the battle/war"

Cf. 

  noH QapmeH wo' Qaw'lu'chugh yay chavbe'lu' 
  Destroying an empire to win a war is no victory  TKW

  nItebHa' molor HI''a' SuvvIpghach puj je HarghmeH yeq chaH 
  United to do battle together! Against the tyrant Molor!
   Against fear and against weakness! PB


And WRT valentines, you could also do something romantic - or suggestive - with:

  yay chavlu' 'e' bajnISlu' 
  Victory must be earned. TKW
