Well, if I have to TELL you how to be romantic, that means you just don't FEEL it. You will gain BIG brownie points if you keep on dating your spouse forever. I was never, EVER courted with candy and flowers. I think in order for communication to be effective, you need both types. It needs to be direct in that you can ask for what you need, say how you feel and negotiate disagreements.
Actions are important, too.
Remember the saying, Actions speak louder than words. Make sure your actions back up the words you are speaking. Love and Prayers, KristyAnn If I have a faith that can move mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. I think the goal in communication must take into account not only what is said, but also what is received. So, you sometimes may have to word things so as to tailor them to your audience.
