Relationships: What are they all about?

Let’s start with Romance…

It’s not about candy on Valentine’s Day or a limo ride to candlelight dinners. It’s not about date night every Friday or getting a sitter for the kids to see a movie before an expensive dinner. It’s not about jewelry, big diamonds, or planes flying over ballparks saying “will you marry me?” It’s not even about flowers on Wednesday for no apparent reason. And it’s definitely not about money, power, looks, or even sex.

It’s about connection and meaning.

Romance is a man saying “I love you more than your feelings”, meaning it, and her receiving it. Romance is a woman listening, genuinely listening to the batting statistics of a baseball player because she understands why it means so much to him and his son. Romance is about rubbing your hands over your mate’s side of the bed while they are brushing their teeth so they don’t have to experience the feeling of cold sheets in the middle of winter.

It’s about connection.

Romance is a man giving Ghirardelli chocolates because he remembers her favorite vacation with him was the trip they took to San Francisco while they were dating and that’s where they make the chocolate. Not because he’s’ done something wrong, but because he loves her; and she knows the difference. Romance is a wife giving her husband a Cross pen set on his first day of work because that’s what his late Dad and best friend always wrote with.

It’s about meaning.
