How it's used
Focuses specifically on the emotional warmth and romantic satisfaction within a relationship.

It carries a sense of intimacy and contentment that goes beyond simple happiness.
Examples
They were really sweet when they were dating.
When will you two be able to live sweet days again?

Common mistake
