I suspect romance is more important to women, than it is to men. Personally, it gives me great pleasure to do the little things I know my wife is going to like. I have a choice, I could be lazy and set on my butt and do nothing, or I could prepare a dinner for her when she least expects it, and go all out, soft music, candles, some of our better china, cloth napkins with napkin holders, the wine already poured into her favorite wine glass. It doesn't take a lot of effort to do something like this, but the look in her eye and the smile on her face is worth it. When I do these little things for no particular reason, it is so rewarding to me. I love doing it and it makes her happy. I think anyone could come up with different ways to put romance into their relationship. Another one of my favorites is to make reservations for dinner at a restaurant out of town, that has a cozy atmosphere, and just before she starts dinner, tell her "stop what you are doing, we're going out for dinner". If she asks why are we going out in the middle of the week, the answer is simple "to celebrate my love for you".
If romance is not in your nature, it should be, if you want your marriage to be all that it can be.
