My definition of a romantic:

--someone who is understanding, even though he may not understand (there is a big difference)

--someone who is patient and caring even in my worst moments

--someone who says "I love you" at the end of every phone conversation--and means it everytime

--someone who won't go to sleep mad, but insists that it won't be a good night unless we work it out

--someone who makes me coffee in the morning because he knows I love it (even though he hates the stuff)

--someone who welcomes me home with a hug & kiss after a hard day at work

--someone who is completely faithful & trustworthy

--someone who you can confide anything and you know he will never tell anyone.

And all those things added up are my Mark! I am so blessed! He is my best friend ever...

So yes, what Joey did was thoughtful and caring in doing the messy work while you relaxed. And being thoughtful & caring is the essence of romance.
