Love can be hard to put into words, but in the form of a bouquet of flowers, it can never be misunderstood. Love in the form of taking on some household chore can't be misunderstood. Love that is accompanied by the words "I'm sorry" will never be rejected. Love in the form of focusing your total attention on your partner for a few minutes or a few hours, even when there's something else you'd rather be doing , will speak volumes.
In order for love to thrive, not just survive, it needs a protective environment. We call it romance and it as necessary to love as the air we breath is to living. Love can't exist in a vacuum, it needs more that two individuals staring blankly at each other.
For love to grow, the two people need to communicate the sounds, smells, sights, and touches that are the main ingredients of their love. They must somehow be passed back and forth between the two of them and romance is the medium for this transferal. You don't need threads of gold or silver to weave your own safe haven for love, all that's required is a small part of yourself.
