The dictionary provides 7 definitions of romance, all of which I quoted above (i.e. medieval tale, imaginary characters, something that lacks basis in fact, heroic era, adventure, etc.) Which definition of the term that the dictionary defines it are you referring to?
I was referring to definition 5, the Romance languages.
I think it is very important for a husband and wife to be able to communicate in Italian, since that is the language of food.
