One of the most important characteristics in a partner is authenticity. If they didn't think of getting you flowers themself (and had to use an app), is that real?

I think someone downloading an app to help them be more spontaneous for a partner who wants that is extremely authentic, it takes someone seeing that they have a blind spot.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

I’d say yes. We are all flawed. It’s not because you are busy or because your brain is tired that you don’t love your partner. Being spontaneous requires energy. A lot of people lack energy but still loves their partner. Following the prompt isn’t mandatory, just take it as a source of inspiration for when you want to be kind but have no idea.

> Being spontaneous requires energy. A lot of people lack energy but still loves their partner. The point is that you have a limited amount of energy, but you chose to dedicate some of it to something your partner would like. Optimising by reducing the amount of energy you use to do that defeats the purpose.

Uh huh.

Try having a couple kids and then apply this kind of reasoning. There simply isn’t enough time or energy to do everything you want for your family.

If you can leverage technology and good ideas to enhance your experiences and relationships, do it.

One of the ways you become authentic is by practicing something you want to become. It’s doing the thing consistently that leads to character development. Also, if you and your partner value different love languages (my partner is meh on flowers, I spent time in high school doing floral arrangements) then having a guide to help you translate could be super helpful. Disappointed this is EU and USA only for now but will see if it shows up in my country soon.
