Yes, romance is extremely important. In a long term relationship, romance turns into the little things we do for our significant other.
yes, it's the little things like sweet kisses before getting up in the morning or before leaving for work - little texts now and then that remind each other we're thinking of the other, a pat on the hiney walking through the kitchen
Enjoy the hiney patting!

Yes. Being together keeps it alive for us
I am not sure if romance everyday is necessary. I have no ideas about how to keep it alive
Absolutely. Little things like a foot rub at the end of a long, crappy day or a surprise ride home from work make us realize how lucky and happy we are.
yes! very much so. I think being spontaneous, honest, and thoughtful is a good way to keep it alive
Yes.....flirting with each other, touching, reminding each other of the simpleness of two
Yes! But uuuhh idk how to keep it alive x_x I just wing it, do what comes naturally :o these go to our wall right? I'm not wasting my time? lol
Very much so. Kisses at breakfast. Kisses for lunch. Eye contact and flirting all the time.
Romance is defined as "a feeling of excitement and mystery associated with love." It is very difficult for me to keep the mystery associated with love alive when loving someone for so long uncovers the mystery of love. I can however keep the feeling of excitement associated with love alive by knowing what excites my partner and continually engaging in those activities that bring that excitement and sharing it with her.
extremely important.
big hugs and kisses!
and also flirting.

Exhibiting patience with the other...
YES! I love random text messages throughout the day-it makes me feel like he's thinking of me even tho he's at work. I LOVE random 'touches' throughout the house/wherever we are-lets me know that he's aware of my presence (sliding hand across back of neck, rubbing lower back, arm around shoulders, simple soft caresses). Also little mini surprises (note on car, mirror, CD in car (that he's made) a photo posted here or there, simple things that speak volumes.
