I think that men know how to romance a woman and most do it well, at least for a time, otherwise women wouldn't marry them. The problem is that most of them begin to rest on their laurels.

The first thing I did when I sold my book was buy a new wedding ring for my wife and asked her to marry me all over again.

I have a great wife and it's very easy to be romantic because it makes her happy and then my life is so much better when she's happy.

Romance is thinking about your significant other, when you are supposed to be thinking about something else.

None of my characters are rich or famous, and the situations they find themselves in could happen to anyone.

My wife, my family, my friends - they've all taught me things about love and what that emotion really means. In a nutshell, loving someone is about giving, not receiving.

I don't know that love changes. People change. Circumstances change.
