Romance is important in a marriage. Although I will admit, my idea of romance has changed since we had children. I care less about getting flowers and more about getting a nap. And the idea of a romantic date has changed too. Candlelit dinners have taken a backseat to any hot meal eaten uninterrupted together. Not that I still wouldn't enjoy those other things, but different things are romantic now.
Definitely important and heartbreaking when your guy pretends it means something to him until after you have been married a while. You miss the touching your hand, stroking your hair, the long hugs for no reason and turning off the TV just to spend time with you.
Not just important, but vital.





Nothing says a married couple can't ';date'; (each other, or course!).





Or, surprise gifts, for no reason. Or, a back rub. Or, making a nice cup of tea for the other. All of that. It is the glue that helps keep you together.
passion is needed however that passion presented is up to the person weather that be romance, habit, kinky ways, S%26amp;M ways, whatever





it's the passion you need for a healthy relationship
If it was important to either party before the marriage, then it is important after the marriage.
my definition of romance...when your spouse comes home, you're more happy and excited to see them walk in the door than the dog is. ';i missed you today'; goes a long way for either the man or woman.
not as much now as it used too be. but i still surprise my girl every now and then and bring her home some flowers or take hear out to dinner or whisper sweet things in her ear, even after 25 years of togetherness
Romance is by-product of friendship. If you both are best friends first, then the romance will simply happen without effort.
Yes Romance is very important, I do not have any romance in my marriage and it is going down hill very fast.
it seems somewhat important to my girlfriend...i'm not sure if my wife finds it important or not and really don't care
Buddy, if we knew what women needed, would we be on here reading about all of these problems??
Romance is very important.... that's why I keep a GF on the side : )
