What is the most romantic thing your spouse has ever done for you? A couple of things come to my mind when I think about my own marriage. Nancy and I had been married about three years and had lived in apartments the whole time. We were driving around one afternoon and literally stumbled into a new addition of homes that seemed to fit our price range. We looked at five show homes, but none of them seemed to fit us. As we talked to the builder, he said, “Why don’t you let me build the house for you that you want?” We had heard horror stories about couples building houses, but we said yes. We were determined to make this a great experience.
As I was getting ready to leave work one evening, Nancy called and asked me to meet her at the new house. There was only the concrete slab, but on that slab Nancy had a tablecloth, candles, and a great picnic dinner. It was so romantic to me because I saw her being purposeful about making this a great experience.
Another romantic thing Nancy does for me is when we go on trips for just the two of us, she always buys a new nightgown for the trip—just for me. Now that you have had a couple of minutes to think, what is the most romantic thing your spouse has ever done for you?
