Romance is not what sustains a relationship, compatibility does.
The same long-term vision does.
Romance is just a piece of the whole.

Deep connection is not something you stumble upon, it is something you build.

But its usually because what you had wasnt a real connection, it was attraction conflated for compatibility.
The relationship didnt work because your connection was carnal desire, which is a very shallow thing.
The truly connected couples resonate with another on many levels.

You are comfortable with one another and could share an entire life together and not be afraid.
You are each others sounding boards, because you are forevermore business partners and in-house consultants.
Your relationship isnt a guessing game.
Its never the wrong time to commit.
Theres no deciding what your label is.
Theres no doubting whether or not you want to spend every day together.
Those are all symptoms of lust confused for connection.
And lust is cheap.
Lust is the easy way out.
Lust is the way that naive people determine who they are most connected with.
They confuse their bodys hormonal response to another person for being a deep, lifelong connection with them.
Your forever person is the one who inspires you to put your world back on its own axis.
So no, the most connected couples arent the ones who are romantic with one another 24/7.
They are the ones who are best friends.
The ones who are made better because there is love in their life, not made less.
