Aw, Romance!

Do you like to watch romantic movies? Rom-coms are fun because you know the couples will always end up passionately in love. Wow, heady stuff! Unfortunately, as most couples know, rom-coms are make-believe, not real life. First-love passions fade and the practical aspects of making a living, raising children and being committed to one another, through thick and thin, emerge. Abusive marriages need to end, but more marriages end not because of abuse, but because couples say they’ve “fallen out of love.” What they really mean by love is that first passionate romance of new love. How many morals, principles, families and marriages are sacrificed on the altar of unrealistic romantic love. Let’s hope all marriages keep some romance in them, as long as we remember romantic feelings are not enough to carry you through the hard times.
