Rachel McAdams is inspired by her parents` marriage.
The 32-year-old actress - who is currently dating `Frost/Nixon` star Michael Sheen - feels "blessed" that her mother and father have such a stable relationship, and thinks their union is the reason why she is such a romantic person.
She said: "They are still together and still in love. I`m very blessed that way. I had a great example of love in front of me, and that`s probably what makes me such a romantic, because I`ve seen it firsthand."
However, because of the standard set by her parents, Rachel - who was engaged to her `Notebook` co-star Ryan Gosling before calling off their three-year relationship in 2007 - admits she was left feeling disappointed when she discovered that not everyone has the same view of relationships.
She added in an interview with America`s Elle magazine: "You grow up and you assume that everyone is like that, and you quickly realise that they`re not, and then you have those days when you wonder if you`re going to find it for yourself. It`s such a hard thing to find. I think it was more that realisation that rocked me."
