Extremely important in every day life. Keep good communication and let each other now how special you are.
Yes... Even if it is something as little as email saying what you are thinking about.
Yes. Be creative.
Yes, very much so, I think time and space apart helps as well as little bits of effort throughout the day, a random text or email, send flowers once in a while, make a nice romantic dinner for no reason, etc. And try really hard to never go to bed mad.
For sure. Compliments, hugs and kisses.
BIG TIME! It means everything! and it is a constant thing to remember, keep it up, work at and BTW it has to be equal & should be at the top of the to-do list. Lose the romance and you've really dropped the ball
if you are really happy to see the other person
Yes...little things, back rubs, kisses, hugs, keeping the dogs quiet (at least trying) while she's sleeping

Absolutely....so hard with kids in the picture....you have to set time aside...usually end of day before sleep to talk, lay together in bed, fool around....or else your life becomes only work and kids.....and your relationship suffers
You better believe it! I probably wouldn't be getting married if I didn't know there was going to be something unique and special about this relationship that surpasses all others. Keeping it alive is a matter of choosing to treat your partner as what he/she is--the most adored, loved, and treasured person in your life.
Yes and it's all about the little things, not the once a year efforts.
I don't think you NEED it every day, necessarily, but it's definitely nice to have it. It's important to have more than not, though.
&, just simple things. Telling one-another how your relationship is going, watching the stars/sunset, sitting by a fire with tea/coffee/hot cocoa/etc.

Yes! Smiles, kisses, thoughtful questions, and little acts (bring home ice cream, helping with the dishes etc.)
Romance is found in the thoughtful and unexpected. Anything from a kiss on the neck while doing dishes to a foot rub to a hidden piece of chocolate can be romantic. Romance simply says: I thought of you and I wanted you to know.
Yes - even sweet smiles can do the trick
Accept it as a discipline, not as a 'natural" thing. You may not want to say I love you, or kiss, or say How was your day, or grab one another's ass, but if you do them all daily, good things are bound to grow.
