Being romantic means you are thinking of ‘us’ as a couple and all that concerns ‘us’; you take my interest to heart, you want to see me grow and you are the shoulder on which I can cry. It is the ability to communicate, to be friends and to be able to share everything. Sometimes when I’m driving I’d suddenly notice my husband staring at me and when I jokingly ask him ‘what?’, he’ll tell me, ‘Do you know I love you?’ And he’d start recalling interesting memories of our relationship, like how I stood by him. And when he is on assignments outside the country, he sends me text messages. Romance isn’t about kissing and hugging, it is about caring and sharing. If your man is not romantic, then take the initiative and do it. I will never forget the way he proposed to me, really romantic. We’d had a quarrel before parting ways around midnight and early the next morning, he was at my house; he said his father wanted to see me. Of course he knew how much I respected his father and that I would respond to his call.  And when we got there, daddy simply told me he’d bought  tickets and we were going to Benin to meet my parents to request for a wedding date. I couldn’t stop staring at my husband.
