To be honest, I think most approaches to romances in games are pretty much boring, just because its nearly impossible to show all the different little things that come with real life relationship.
Like my better half and I have so many insider jokes that we developed over the last, phew, its already been nearly a decade. And those jokes just came from situations where both of us had some fun - in a game, it would kind of feel forced on you (maybe it could be a dialogue option, but still it wouldn't be *yours*).
Also its things like just getting a kiss or a hug out of nowhere or surprising each other with things we like (food, movies, music) that keeps the relationship so healthy, fun and enjoyable.
While I wish we could catch the magic happening in a real life relationship and transfer it to a game, I feel like it will always lack something - mostly because nowadays it seems like sex is incredibly important in gaming relationships, but to be fair, while I really love getting intimate with my better half, she and I share way more moments of joy than just that.
Sorry if this post is too personal.
True, personally I would really love to have a conversation with Wyll about how he left me to deal with the dishes by myself while he was "exercising"...again...
