Summary

"Some people think romance is corny. It's not. It's necessary. Others, especially some men, think romance is somehow demeaning. But being romantic doesn't make a man less of
a man. It makes him more of one.

Love can be hard to put into words, but in the form of a bouquet of flowers, it can never be misunderstood. Love in the form of taking on some household chore can't be miscommunicated. Love that is accompanied by the words "I'm sorry" will never be rejected. Love in the form of focusing your total attention on your partner for a few minutes or a few hours, even when there's something else you'd rather be doing, will speak volumes.
