Not surprise dinners. Not proposals on marble steps. Not letters across state lines. Those are beautiful. But co signing debt when someone is ashamed of it? That is intimacy at a structural level.
When my husbands startup was acquired, he immediately offered to pay off both of our student loans before I brought it up. Truly one of the most romantic things he’s ever done and I remember that (and moments like it) often when we’re in the trenches for whatever reason. I know at a base level we’re on each others team that’s just a fact, and no circumstances life throws or rough patches changes that. Swoon! 😋
“Your burdens are my burdens.”
That is romance in adulthood.
