Paris is a city full of romance/romances, many newlywed couples spend their honeymoon there.

Which fits better in the above sample, romance or romances, and why? Thanks.

Without true love, life is meaningless and worthless since our physical world is nothing but a dream. ~~Angliholic~~簡瑞達

Romance. Romances occur before marriage. Semicolon after romance.

Thanks, Mister.

That means there are different meanings between romance and romances, right? But how could I distinguish them?
