Romance is not a once- or twice-a-year thing. It's not reserved for special occasions, holidays, or just to get out of the "dog house."

Contrary to what many other "romance" books state, romance has little to do with jewelry, chocolates, roses, or sex. Romance doesn't have to be expensive or sap hours from your day.

Man (or woman) is the canter of real RoMANce. It's about sharing and giving of yourself. It's a combination of all the little (and big) things you do to say, "I love you" and to let someone know how special he or she is. What is most romantic comes from your heart (and is created by your hands), not from inside your wallet.

Make it a goal to be romantic all year round - starting today.
