What is romance? This is a tough question. And, how many answers could be listed here? Thousands I’m sure. We all have a concept of the romance that WE would like to be a part of. The Pretty Woman fantasy as she held herself up high in the end and demanded the ultimate of her man. And then there’s The Ugly Truth – are men REALLY that way? Accordingly to some close confidential sources – YES THEY ARE. So where is romance there? Where’s the attachment? How does it survive and blossom into something more than “the honeymoon” phase? OMG ~ THE EXPECTATIONS WE ALL HAVE. Flowers, candy, sexy lingerie, perfume, kisses, dinner, candles/light, trips, fur coats, diamond rings/necklaces, cars – you name it and we have all thought of it. The giver and the receiver – both ways, one way.
A love affair – two sided, one sided, blind-sided, a love-hate. Can two people ever even feel exactly the same? Of course not – these are two people coming from two different places, two different backgrounds, two different experiences. It’s absolutely amazing when you see people who have lived together 50+ years and still smile, hold hands, laugh. What type of love affair did they have in the beginning that has seemingly never ended? Ws their love affair built on respect, affection, mutual ideas – what a list this could be? And yet, there they are 50+ years later. Did sheer tenacity hold them together through the ups and downs of every day life?
