Readers response: What are some things older generations did as couples that we rarely see today?
We asked our readers what simple acts of romance they encountered in their lives, that younger generations don't partake in anymore, and the response was overwhelming. Here's what they said.
Sharon Watson - Men would walk on the outside of the lady on the road. Also, walking hand in hand and doors & car doors were opened by men for women.
Jo Hoffman - Went to cabarets for old time ballroom dancing to beautiful music!
Ann MacCann - Taking walks holding hands.
Judith Turpin - Ate breakfast and evening meal at the table as family. We communicated!
Margaret Gerlach - Visited family and in-laws every week.
Lorna Johnson - Gentlemen tipped their hats at ladies and held the door open for you.
Jan Bradley - Dancing at the town hall, drive in movies, stayed together.
Jane Reynolds - Spending time together as a family, playing games, talking to each other. No phones, writing and receiving letters, supporting each other, staying together, caring and helping each other.
Myfawny Jones - One partner read the road map while the other drived, often on corrugated gravel roads.
Lindi Williams - Played cards together.
Cherylyn Thornton - Went to the drive in movies.
