Inside Chad Michael Murray’s Sweet Family World With Sarah Roemer

“I think when I was younger, romance was an idea to me, but now I think romance is in the little things that you never thought were romantic before,” the actor explained. “Let’s say I work 14 hours, and I come home and I’m exhausted and usually you just want to take your clothes off and just go to bed, right? But let’s say my wife’s under the weather or I can tell she’s just run down from being with the kids all day. [I] clock in and go, ‘I got this.'”

Wait, reader, it gets even better.

“I run over and do the dishes and pick up and put the kids to bed and be like, ‘Go, go, go, go rest. I got this. We’re fine,'” he continued. “That’s romantic to me in a different way than it ever would have been when I was, say, 20.”

Um, we’re not swooning, you’re swooning.
