WoW- I better get these right or I am in trouble with Michele.

I will be as honest as I can be. But please remember I am a guy!!

How important? Not always- seems important when that part of the brain kicks in when I want something. I try to make it important because it is to my wife.

What are your thoughts? I like romance- doesnt have to be something that is thought to be in the bedroom only. Holding hands, talking on the phone can be romantic, ect. Wish we were more of.

myself a romantic? When we were first married yes. I would like to say I am now but I am nothing like I used to be. I still try but I think now we take it for granted. I love my wife to death but I know I could do better

Do you believe? YES- as long as their is the opposite sex you have too. Romance is awesome, I love the feeling when you partner is being romantic. It is a way for us to show our love in many ways.

Ummm...I think romance is important, but should not be the basis of one's relationship or marriage.  When I think of the "romance", i think of "wooing someone you're attracted too, sort of a fantasy kind of thing."  I feel like romance is easy to come by early in a relationship when you still get butterflies.  After you've been married for a while, I don't think romance comes as easy, or hopefully your love for your partner has come to be a different kind of love...one that is not based so much on attractiveness, etc.  This may be b/c i don't consider myself a romantic, nor do i consider my husband a natural romantic.  It  is something we both have to consciously work at b/c it doesn't come naturally for either of us.  I guess what i am saying is that romance can fade and is not really a foundation for anything.  I believe "love" is a decision and is not always easy.  You Choose to love (agape kind of love, like Jesus has for his children) someone for better or worse...people say "i just fell out of love."  To me they are really saying, I have given up and do not want to fight for what i commited to...it no longer gives them butterflies, etc.  I may be saying this b/c I do still love my partner of 13 yrs now (7 yrs. dating, 6 yrs. marriage).  I have never had the feeling of "falling out of love."  I believe this is b/c our love is based on so much more than "romance."  Romance is important, and has it's place, and must be worked at.  I believe keeping a marriage romantic makes for an easier one.  Hope this makes sense and helps you out!

Romance

1. How important is it?  Very important ecspecially in a relationship. I would be good to have some one love you as much as you love them and show it.

2. What are my thoughts? I think that having a relationship needs some romance in it to keep things going well. It would be boring between two couples if there is no love or show of it.

3. Do I consider myself a romantic? I don't know, I love romantic movies and wish that I had some one special to share things with. Although to get really romantic I would have to get married and have a honey first before any of this can happen. I should also wait til I am a lot older.

4. Do you believe in romace? Yes, I do believe that when you meet the right guy or in boys cases a girl that you will know what romance is. It would also be more romantic if you wait for the right christian guy who will love you and make you his Princess, because you know that those are the most romantic guys.

1.  Romance is very very important to me

2.  I believe that if you Romance a person it is your way of showing how much you love them, there are other ways of course, but I think that keeping Romance in your marriage is very important to keep it alive because it can so easily get bogged down with work, kids, school, ect.  Responsibilites you know.

3.  I am EXTREMELEY romantic which is hard for my husband because he is not.

4.  I definetely believe in Romance

how important is it?

i think romance is very important. if you dont have even a little bit of romance in your relationship, like holding hads hugs and kisses, it really doesnt seperate you from being just friends. it makes people feel loved and wanted by there boyfriend/girlfriend or husband/wife.

 

what are your thoughts?

i kinda answered that in the first one.

 

do you consicer yourself a romantic?

yes, i do. i like being romantic. im in my first Real relationship and im a senior in highschool. and i really like being romantic, its really important to me. and im also glad my boyfriends romantic.. it just makes me feel special. even if its little things. those are usually the best.

 

Do you believe in romance?

i most sertainly do.. its a big part in realationships. you dont want your boyfriend or girlfriend to be like all your other friends, you want them to treat you different than them. make you feel special.

well i would have to say that romance is pretty important. as long as ur w/ the right person romance is amazing.

 

romance is a funny thing b/c everyone's idea of it is different. some think of roses, and candlelit dinners. but what i think about is beig w/ someone special to you. having a talk where u find out so many new thigns about each other. others might think that's just cheesy, but to me thast romance! romance can even be a dorky song played at the right time, or an inside joke...

 

i wouldnt neccesarily consider myself a romance. everyone is in their own way. i guess my way would be that i love to get nice things for ppl to see the smile on their face!

 

i believe in romance, but hey i'm a girl... every girl wants to believe in romance :)

 

love ya,

allison

Importance:
I think we were created to have a desire to be with someone. God created Eve for Adam so that he would have a companion. I think it's important that we have someone to feel that one spot we know Jesus can't.
Thoughts:
I long for that. But I'm not ready to jump into anything to soon, because it would not be sincere or romantic.
Romantic:
I have romantic thoughts and the more I mature I get better ideas. It's just a matter of sharing them with someone who would consider small, simplistic things romantic.
Do I believe in romance?:
well I believe in love. I think romance is just an adverb for love. It's a way u carry out ur love, through words or deeds.

=)

I like 'thinking' questions...I sense a blog coming out of this :p

Wow... deep questions Debra! Romance. From my personal study of scriptures and of life, I think romance is a very wonderful thing, a blessing in fact. But it is not a necessary part of a God glorifying life, although it does bring glory to our Savior! I think it is a desire, something that we crave, especially as girls, but I also think that it is a desire that easily become an idol of our hearts. Our culture, (including much of Christian culture), perhaps unintentially teaches us to expect it. It teaches us that we are romantic beings that have romantic needs that must be met. This is false according to scripture. The only need we have is for a Redeemer! Someone to justify our sins before the Father, and we have that in Jesus Christ.
Romance, however, does bring much glory to our savior within a marriage relationship as the love between a man and a woman demonstrates Christ's love for the church, and the Church's love for Christ! It paints such a beautiful picture for us of a relationship we otherwise might not have understood. I do believe in romance and like any girl love a good boquet of flowers, and a candlelight dinner, but I've learned not to expect these things, but to consider them a blessing that I don't deserve when they do happen. (I mean truly, as a the sinful girl that I am, I deserve hell and nothing more.... but God is so gracious toward us....) That way, I am always grateful and excited when romance does happen and when I can create it, instead of expecting it in one form or another.

i think that romance is only as important as you want and make it to be. some girls don't like all of the romantic stuff they like things plain and simple others love it and want to be romanced and pampered. guys can be the same way i know many who love to be romantic and some who just like to show affection through time and conversation.

i don't think god created the relationship between a man and a woman to rely on how romantic the man can be or how much the more he can sweep a girl off her feet than the next charming prince.  romance is nice but it is something that man has created and that mass media has placed in a woman's brains that all men should be able to romance her.

i personally i have been decieved by disney lol i do want a man who can be romantic and suprise on valentine's days and other lil holiday's. i would consider myself a romantic cause all the time i'm thinking of lil things i could do for a potential boyfriend or big suprises that would just (hopefully) make his heart melt lol.

i don't think romance is something to or not to believe in. romance is what you decide to make of it whether you create it to exist or not. romance is extracurricular not a needed additive in a relationship that god designed.

ROMANCE


How important is it? Very very important.  


What are your thoughts? Romance is important to me because I still like to be "swept off my feet". I like to know that my husband loves me enough to keep showing me every day. :) For me, romance could be something little like helping out at home if I've had a busy week, or it could be something big like planning a weekend away.

Do you consider yourself a romantic? You know, I don't think that before I married Scott I was a romantic. When I met Scott he would write me notes and leave me messages, and at first I was a little annoyed by it. (lol) But now I love it. I love when I have a little note on my pillow or he's gone and picked out some pretty flowers for me or whatever little thing he's done to show me that he's thinking about me, and loves me. So now I have become a romantic. :)


Do you believe in romance? Oh yeah. I think it's impossible to have a marriage without it. We're constantly growing in our relationships and without consistant acts of love or romance, the relationship will stagnate. I think, especially for women, we like to feel that warm feeling of love when we get something special from our husband, or when they do something special for us. For me, taking out the trash can be an act of romance when I've had a really hard day! It's just the little things Scott does to show me he cares that I find romantic and loving. So yep, I believe that romance is alive and vital in relationships.
