Experts say romance doesn’t need grand gestures to thrive — daily habits matter more

Relationship experts say keeping emotional closeness alive is less about expensive gifts or one-off “big moments,” and more about consistent, practical care that reflects what your partner actually values.
In a piece published by CityNews citing The Associated Press, therapists emphasize that romance is not one-size-fits-all. For some, it’s small acts like making coffee, sending a thoughtful text, helping with an errand, or creating quiet time together at the end of the day.
The article also notes that Valentine’s Day can amplify pressure and unspoken expectations. Experts recommend planning and clear communication rather than assuming your partner should “just know,” and encourage couples to build simple rituals — such as a regular date night or a weekly check-in — that fit their stage of life.
Bottom line: big gestures can be sweet, but steady, everyday effort is what sustains connection over the long term.
