Romance is a worldview in which lyrical and dramatic emotions, dreams, ideals and spiritual uplift play a leading role. A romantic view can be contrasted with a rational, pragmatic view. Romance or romantic relationships usually occur only in some situations, when the influence of the outside world in the minds of people is leveled, and their relationship with each other comes to the fore, there is an attraction to each other. As a rule, this happens in a separate (intimate) environment. Also, romantic people are people who live more in dreams than in reality, people who are romantically inclined, prone to daydreaming, to the idealization of other people and life.
Have you ever wondered if romance means the same to you and your life partner? In marriage, we often notice that romance is going through a crisis of its significance.
When I first got married, my husband Robbie preferred to express his romanticism right in the middle of fights. He probably hoped it would calm the smoke coming out of my ears, but it didn’t work.
Over the years, we have not come to a common understanding of what romance is. I often remind him that watching the news on the couch while he checks his social media accounts while I pursue my new hobby does not equate to “quality time” spent together. He can’t understand why the whole hours spent next to each other mean nothing?
I think a lot of couples don’t agree on their understanding of romance. You can analyze a topic for a whole day, but until you come to a common definition of its meaning, you cannot claim to have reached agreement on this issue.
