I love my wife dearly, and, therefore, I've never cooked a meal, romantic or otherwise, for her.

I think one of the downsides of the sort of obsession with romantic love and personal fulfillment is that the plain fact of the matter is that those feelings don't last for ever and so they better be replaced and reinforced by things that do.
