In short, all actions that "express enthusiasm and emotion" are Romanticism.
In our nature, we frequently witness the unique romantic movements of every living creature. For example, when we watch the movements of domesticated, stray or wild animals living in nature, we can see Romanticism in the movements they make among themselves.
Romance between people, not just between spouses but all family members; It can occur between mother/father, siblings and children, as well as in our circle of friends.
Individual Romance can also be experienced. For example, walking around in a light drizzle, or walking on the beach by the sea.
Of course, the most important are the romantic relationships between spouses. Romance here is the expression of the love and devotion of the spouses to each other and turning into action in a surprising way.
For example, I would buy a bouquet of flowers for my deceased wife every week. We would set out on Friday evening at the end of each month, my wife and children would sleep at night and wake up in a distant city in the morning and ask where this city was. That day we showed around the city and stayed in a hotel in the evening. After breakfast, we would explore the city a little more and set out to return home. In this way, I showed my wife and children approximately 2/3 of my country.
Or when I came home from work, my wife had cooked delicious food for dinner and everything was prepared on the table, we would turn off the lights, light a candle in the middle and eat our meal. Or most of the time I would take him to a restaurant and eat out.
Since such actions have become commonplace, I would create different situations. For example, I would buy a dress they liked and present it in a gift package. They would open it with curiosity and hug me around my neck.
Finally, I made a surprise for my wife on her birthday. Without his knowledge, I bought a flight ticket abroad, made a hotel reservation and told the Hotel Lobby to leave a bouquet of flowers - champagne and a box of chocolates in our room. I acted as if I had forgotten my wife's birthday, and when we woke up in the morning, I did not go to work.
- Darling, aren't you going to work today?
- No honey. I won't go…
- Why won't you go?
- Because our plane will take off at 15.00 today and you should start getting ready immediately. We are going abroad.
Oh I still remember the excitement and happiness of that moment.
By the way, I have to point out that children learn such romantic gestures primarily from their parents' relationships with each other.
It is a fact that; I observe that those of us who are older (Women and Men over 40/45 years of age) experience Romanticism more sincerely, and in my observations, young people who have just grown up cannot experience the Romanticism that we do, due to changing world conditions (Economic conditions - Technology change and similar factors). This is a very sad incident.
But the children you raise can surprise you over time with what they learn from you and give you wonderful moments. For example, for my birthday this year, my daughter bought me a travel ticket abroad and we all went on a trip together. In addition, my grandson, who graduated from university, bought an international flight ticket and made a hotel reservation for this New Year's Eve between December 30th and January 7th. This is also an expression of this: The beautiful actions you make will definitely come back to you with the same beauty.
By the way, I still send some gifts to some of my friends who live in other countries and whose addresses I know. Of course, provided I know their addresses.
