Romance in a relationship is easy to build, as long as the couple practices radical secret reduction kindly with each other, seeks to work through things practically, makes win/win deals, and highly values reconciliation.
Within this boundary and values and practices system, romance can survive and thrive.
Problems happen when people try to build romance without these practices, because there's little if anything to protect it.
Truth protects romance.
