While romantic gestures aren't sufficient to form the basis of your love, they are wonderful as reflections of your joy in being together and as a way of expressing your loving feelings.

Women, especially, are likely to long for a little romance in their long-term relationships. They often complain that men are not romantic enough—that they don't bring flowers, send love notes, or think of other little romantic touches. But romance, of course, is a two-way street. Many men appreciate receiving flowers or love notes.

Together, the two of you can experience romantic feelings by watching a beautiful sunset, walking in the moonlight, listening to romantic music, or reading love poems aloud.
