About 80%. Remember sex is the one percent. There is so much of life that is just being together. Talking laughing sitting close holding hands cooking together sharing shopping driving long distances\nRomance is in every element of our lives. And if it isn't it isn't love. You cannot be close and you will have a mediocre existence.

Most men require one or the other. Any relationship that is worth anything should be a case of give and take on both sides, usually not a 50/50 either.\n\nUnfortunately some relationships are based on sex or money or good looks and when that fades at any point things become 1 sided. Love changes but never fades.

Romance plays a huge role in my life, I guess I'm the last of a dying breed....I enjoy the romance of the soul...the romance of words...and the fabled Knight in shinning Armour...Does this mean I'm a "Push-over"...no

I think many things make the world go around, but think that LOVE is definitely the biggest factor, at least for me it is.  I do think however, that LOVE is too often pushed aside for Sex, Money, and Greed (not sure about Gravity, lol). It seems that love isn't nearly as important as it should be, and it's too easily shoved aside nowadays for other seemingly more important things.

Love is truly a feeling, but that feeling is not always truly love. this is an excerpt from an article I wrote on this subject.\n\nWhen we look at the subject of love and romance, we all come to it with our own pre-set ideas on what it means. And often this is contrary to what God says about the subject. While the Bible does not give a set pattern or prescribe a certain way of doing things, there are a number of principles found throughout the Bible, which we can take and apply to our various mindsets and preconceptions.\n\nWhat we need is a renewing of the mind through the washing of the water of the Word of God. Most of us never even think to question the way things are around us, but the truth is that when the gospel of the kingdom comes, it will clash at times with the way things are and challenge the status quo. Are we willing to stand up for what is right and say that the way things are is not the way they should be and advance the kingdom of God in our own hearts and lives? Are we willing to challenge our brothers and sisters to walk in a manner worthy of our calling as saints of the living God and not submit to the pattern of this world? (Rom. 8:29, 12:1-2) This is not something that you can be convinced of (even though it is true), but something that comes as a revelation from God. Are you willing to allow God to give you His perspective on this subject? (Pray here for the Holy Spirit to give revelation.)\n\nThis is a subject largely untouched by our Christian teachers today. And I believe one reason is that most have never thought about it deeply, and another is that people don’t really want to hear it. John 3:19-21 speaks of people who saw the light, and preferred to continue in darkness because they loved what they were doing and didn’t want to change. However, as the people who bear the very name of Christ, we must come into the light so that our deeds may be seen to be of God. In 2 Tim. 4:3-5 Paul warns Timothy that people will hire teachers who teach things that tickle the ears and don’t produce lasting change, because they don’t want to be confronted with the truth, and not to let that keep him from teaching what is true.\n\nOne of the major strongholds I see in our (Western) culture is what I have termed “Romance”. This is often mistaken for love, and is commonly made the focus of almost all our efforts in the process of determining who we want to date/marry. Dean Sherman sometimes calls this our “date-ability”. I want to give you a few little guidelines for how to tell the difference between love and romance. Please understand that this is not the dictionary definition of romance, and in the right context romance is one of the greatest of all the gifts God has given us, but I could not find any other English word that came closer to expressing the idea I want to convey. Romance (in the commonly accepted sense) is absolutely necessary for a life-long relationship, and one of the great joys that offset the sufferings of love, but you cannot build a lasting life together on romance alone. Love will develop all the good qualities of romance, while rejecting the selfish ones and in the end be more fulfilling. Love is the foundation on which romance must be built. What our culture/society teaches us, and the idea I wish to counter here, is that romance is the foundation on which to build love. I give you the divorce rate in our culture/society: More than 50% the last time I checked. This is possibly the greatest contributing factor for so many marriages failing, although there are many other factors as well. Because as we grow up, we are taught (sometimes unconsciously) that romance should be the primary motivator, and in some cases we come to believe that it’s the only motivator; but romance will simply fade away if it’s not built on the solid foundation of love. Developing romance before love can actually hinder the development of love. \n\nBefore going any further, let me give you my definiti

I'm not trying to make a joke out of your question.  But using the word few doesn't seem right too me.  It seems to me that most people are more into lust then love.

"All the Small Things . . ."  \nTo me, romance is ALL about thoughtfulness.  Being romantic doesn't have to cost a bundle . . .  Leave me a freakin love note on a dirty napkin for all I care - I just want to know that I am being thought of even when I'm not around!  Creativity earns big points, too . . . and remembering the little kooky things about me, too . . .  Make me laugh!!!\n" . . . Surprises let me know she(he) cares."

No doubt love is important,but if you have some responsibilities to perform and love is coming in the way and you are disturbed as you are not true to any one of then.my advise is take your responsibilities like a man and if you have to sacrifice your love for responsibilities,sacrifice that...Just look at martyrs,you will get the answer.

No. Yet, there was an occasion when I came to realize that what I thought was love was not true love ... but I won't go into that here.\n\nI have very deep feelings about love, for love is the highest grace we mortals may ever know in this world and perhaps any other that may come. Thus, it is not permissible to be so cavalier as to bandy around those three words as if they were some mere convenient phrase, some shallow sentiment or-- perish the notion --- usurping that most wonderful expression for some self-serving gain.

doesn't take that much actually. if two people established enough trust, respect, love, and open communication there are chances of a thriving relationship. Although misunderstanding and arguements are inevitable, patience and a little less pride are also ingredients of a good love life. If talking about reality, money is also a factor, let's face fact.

To love someone, you must put their needs before your own and vice versa.  Real love is reciprocal.  True love is rare and must be worked on and nurtured.  If you are looking for romantic love, find someone not only with common interests, but someone who compliments you.  My husband is really laid back and I am high strung, so I motivate him and he helps calm me down.

I don't define romance as sending flowers to the one u love, or swapping gifts or candles at night and music while making love.\nI find it romantic when me and my husband fight and we both don't talk to each other and then one of us make something funny and we start laughing at it,I do write myself poems ..and when I need to listen to something it is certainly not romantic,and I don't like romantic movies at all,so I guess I am not a romantic person...ehhh..\nI prefer if my husband show little love but remain faithful rather than spoiling me with gifts and do someone else on my back.\nHappily, he is faithful but ain't romantic just like me.

This is a tougher question to answer than it seems.  First, many studies have shown that men are more visually affected when it comes to romance than women.  However, without a doubt, physical attraction does play a role for both in the initial encounter.  However, if physical attraction is the only aspect of the relationship, it is doomed to failure.  As it takes awhile for persons to learn about the inner qualities of other persons, that aspect takes a deeper meaning only as the relationship developes.

No, not bad.\nLove is always an acceptable emotion to feel and we generally can not control our feelings only our expression of them.\nRomance is a confusing horse of a different color.  A Romantic attachment can seem very much like love and is often confused with it.  Romance never lasts on its own, love can but usually requires some effort.  Romance can hurt, love does not.  Romance can lead to jealousy, love does not.  Romance almost requires the other person to feel the same about you, love does not.

It isn't so much a social taboo for a woman to romance a man.  I have many times romanced my husband just never in a conventional manner.  Women love to be the center of attention and this tends to move into their relationships as well as their lifestyles.  Unfortunately, there are a lot of men who would love to come home to a bathtub of roses and chilled champagne but in hindsight, the thought that a man would turn and walk away in that moment of "her" romance scares most women from ever trying.

More IMPORTANT?  Love by a landslide!  Sex without love is, well, sex and pretty common and easy to get.  Love, on the other hand, is unique, special and hard to come by or keep.  Love will weather storms, overcome all odds, wrap you up in your own special cocoon.  Sex will satisfy only the most basic need, which is gratify, either oneself or another.  Sex will not weather any storms, will not wrap you up in your own special cocoon and will overcome nothing but where and when.  Love without sex, depends on the relationship.  Since sex is really not used in all love relationships, such as a Mother's love for her child, a child's love for its parents, the love of your life, your soulmate might be a sexual love, but if you only included the sexual aspect, would you say "he was the sexual love of my life"?  NO!  You say "He was the love of my life".  While sex and love can be separated, sex without love is really worth very little, and love with sex is worth more money than you will ever have!  And who can discount the love of ones Mother?  A good Mothers love can overcome a lot of shortcomings in a childs life.  Ok, so now you have my 2 cents worth of whats more important to me.  Good question!
