Thread: Romance, a finer point in life.

It's all to easy to get caught up in the finer things in life as the phrase applies to so many material luxuries, which are great, don't get me wrong, but what about some intangibles that really make your day/week/life great. Like time with your spouse/significant other. What are somethings you romantics out there do for the people who are special in your life? For me its more about doing small things frequently rather then big surprises (which I'm bad at coordinating) only on special occasions.

Like mornings for instance; almost everyday starts with a quiet breakfast for the two of us. I make coffee/espresso the way she likes it, some kind of fresh cut fruit with toasted artisan bread and either a sweet creme fraiche or seasonal jam topping, occasionally we enjoy a bit of eggs and peppered bacon (locally raised and cured, if possible), finished with good quality water or juice.

(I am an amateur chef, so this isn't an earth shattering array of gourmet foods, but it's special enough for us to be able to feel like waking up was worth it, and to enjoy the little time we have together).

Let's hear what you guys are doing to make the ones who make you happy, happy.
