People might run away from romance when they hear it. It can be hard to be romantic for some people, while others might have unrealistic expectations about what “romance” actually means.

Romance Awareness Month is not meant to scare anyone! It is meant to raise awareness about the fact that romantic relationships can be sabotaged by inconsiderate couples.

This is a great opportunity for couples to add a little spark to their relationships as the summer ends and the fall schedule starts to kick in. It’s been six years since Valentine’s Day so it’s time for couples to reminisce!

It doesn’t matter if a couple is together for five years or fifty years, or if they are just getting to know one another, it is vital that each partner feels loved and appreciated.

A study by eharmony.com in Australia revealed that 96% believe romance is important to a relationship. 53% also believed that a relationship would not work without romance. Only 30% of people believe romance can be found in movies. (https://prwire.com.au/pr/61562/eharmony-romance-awareness-month-research )
