Happy St. Patrick's Day!
St. Patrick's Day! Today is the six-year anniversary of the day I met my husband. Time really does fly. Despite being as far from a barhopper as it's possible to be, I get to say for the rest of my life that I met my husband in a bar (grin, groan).
As a romance writer, I often get asked about all things romantic. How do you define romance? What's the most romantic thing that someone has done for you? How would you describe a romantic meal?
Particularly now as a new mother, I have to agree with those who say that the romance is in the little things. Not necessarily grand gestures like sweeping someone off to Paris on the spur of the moment. But things like having your husband fold laundry or entertain the baby so you can grab a few moments to yourself. . .and maybe read that romance novel that's been sitting on your night table.

Hi, Anna!
Oh, I absolutely agree on what's romantic. As time goes by, it really is the little things. I came to define "romance" as anything the other person does that shows they've been thinking about you. It's as simple as doing a household chore without being asked :-) or as complicated as him arranging for a sitter so that you can both go out for a while.
I do think romance changes as time passes in a relationship--and it's not a bad thing.

I met my then boyfriend in a bar too. I was a bartender at the time. We dated for about 5 years. I too agree that it is the little thing that are more romantic. I don't think I can remember one little romantic thing he did and it was only 4 years ago so I should remember.
