You don’t always need to say I love you to show how you feel about your SO. Romance in your relationship is just as important as love. Romance fuels love. Romance is a reminder of love. And a romantic gesture doesn’t have to be flashy or showy or dramatic. A small, sweet gesture still has heart-melting potential. Put some of these to the test.
