Real-life Romance: Redefine it

"I'm not romantic," my husband likes to say. He also hates taking selfies. Or pictures of any kind with him in them.
But you know what? I think he's wrong about the romantic part. I think he just needs to redefine it. So many times we've built our idea of romance up around the movies and books and even things that aren't that realistic. Instead, we need to remember what it is.
To me, romance is doing things he knows will make me happy. Like almost-grinning in a selfie on one of our date nights. And more.

A few weeks ago, he climbed a ladder and hung Christmas lights for me. Because he knew it made me happy.
He goes to see plays he's not necessarily interested in. Or puts up with me watching all the old Christmas movies. And he surprised me on my birthday with a gorgeous bouquet of flowers.
Things might not happen all the time. But doesn't that make them more special? When he does something he doesn't really care for ... just because he knows it makes me happy, that's romantic to me.
Instead of only considering the big gestures to be romantic, let's look at the little things more. Let's notice the moments when he might not consider it to be romantic, but it makes your heart happy.
What about you? What's something small your significant other has done lately that made you happy?
