Ok to steal SisterMadly's word - Romance matures
When my husband and I were still dating, and even through the first year we were married, he was very romantic. He would send me flowers at work, write little I love you notes on the bathroom mirror, just little things like that. Now, the most romantic thing he does is send me random "I love you" text messages. I know the passion is there, and I'm know it just takes a little work to rekindle it, but frankly - who has the time?? Between his job, my job, our new house, me thinking about going back for a Master's, a little one and one on the way - who has the time? I know romance is important, but your idea of romance changes over time. When he comes home and takes over with the baby so I can take a nap, does the laundry, cooks dinner (which he does more than I do
), kissing me in the morning when he thinks I'm still asleep before he leaves for work, etc... - those are the kinds of things I think are romantic now.
