Mine didn't roll his eyes when I mentioned that I'd found yet another Singer 66 on Craigslist that sure looked pretty to me, and he aided and abetted this purchase, which included removing two heavy seats from my minivan to make room for it and driving 40 miles each way. I don't know if I'd call him romantic, but he's a keeper!

The most romantic story I can think of though was when my SIL's mother had a stroke at age 80. Her husband mobilized all his strength and resources before she even got out of the hospital, getting ramps built on their house, widening doors, and trading his car in on a ramp van. Then through the next 18 years he made sure she got to her physical and speech therapy and provided her with plenty of opportunities to spend time with their grandchildren and to travel the country together wherever they felt like going. She passed peacefully at age 98. She never lost her smile, and I think that DH gets a lot of credit for doing everything he possibly could to help his loved one cope with a terrible situation.
