A
romantic
marriage
is
one
in which
partners
have
learnt and mastered the acts of making each other feel loved and special. When the two persons involved have learnt the art of devoting themselves to making each other loved and special, their marriage will be heaven on earth. This is because they are careful not to hurt each other in their relationship. In courtship, partners do that generally; they try not to offend each other, while at the same time, do all to please and impress each other. Mutual respect is the order of the day. Thus, most couples in courtship always enjoy and savour every moment of that period of their life together. Of course, there are few exceptions to such blissful moment in courtship. During courtship, partners deal
with each other with an attitude of “I don’t want to lose him/her.” That is, the attitude is that this person is so special to me, and that I can’t afford to lose him/her, or let go of him/her. Thus, we do things that will not threaten the relationship. And romance is one major way to sustain and pass across that feeling. You can therefore imagine the scenario where partners are all
out to please each other. It will definitely lead to the following in their relationship. Absence of stress When romance is present in a marriage, it reduces the stress level due to constant conflicts that occur in an unromantic marriage. Romance reduces conflict to the barest minimum since both partners take their time not to threaten the relationship by their actions. What accounts for the many stress we go through in marriage are unromantic acts, such not showing him/her that you care, love and respect him/ her. But with romance in place, such areas of conflict are minimal, and when they occur, are quickly dealt with. Quick resolution of conflicts When romance is in place in a marriage, conflicts don’t last for long. This is due to the fact that romance allows for couples to make contact with each other despite conflicts. They always want to please each other and as such, do not allow conflicts to linger for long before being resolved. Prolong the life span of the couple Many people have died as a result of a frustrated marital relationship. I once heard from a senior citizen that most lone accidents are caused by loss of concentration on the steering as a result of marital pressure. But when romance is in place, frustrations engendered by stress are absent, and thus, couples can live longer. You will never be tired of each other. Marriage is meant to last forever. One thing that can make it last for long is romance. When each partner is
satisfied, feels loved and fulfilled in the marriage, then it is bound to last forever. Many people go for divorce because they become fed up with their marriages. But with a romantic marriage, it is “till death do us part.” It reduces the temptation of adultery Many people fall into adultery,
or to colour it, extra-marital affairs, due to lack of romance in the marriage. Since they are not satisfied at home, partners
find solace in colleagues at offices and fall into temptations of diverse manner, while trying to secure counsel from persons around them. Such counselling and caring moments have led to sexual relationships for unsuspecting partners. Most office romance results from unfulfilled marital relationships. Great achievement by the couples Romance brings unity among couples and as a result, they are able to make great progress in life. When the home front is strong, couples can team up to make their lives better, and make great achievement. That is the reason for the slogan, behind every successful man is a woman, and vice versa. Leads to the fulfilment of marital purpose of companionship One purpose of marriage is companionship and this can only be achieved in the environment of romance in the marriage. When couples learn to be romantic in marriage, loneliness is kept at bay. Thus, they are able to live
together in harmony, leading to great companionship. Makes marriage beautiful to others To many people these days, marriage is a necessary evil. This is due to lack of romance in many marriages. Most couples are only enduring themselves, instead of enjoying themselves. Thus, most young people fear getting into marriage. But with couples in romantic marriage, the beauty of marriage is made bare to others. Intruders are kept at bay When a couple is in a romantic relationship, intruders are kept off because they know you can’t break their rank. What you hear from the husband is what you will hear from the wife. Therefore, their foe cannot put them asunder. Makes for sexual fulfilment for both partners Sex flows better in the atmosphere of love, harmony,
and absence of stress among couples. All these are available in romance. When couples allow for romance in their marriage, sexual intercourse becomes an easy affair. This is because the woman, who often is the one always tired or has headache and body pains, responds better to sexual advances from her husband when romance is involved. She is better prepared for sex in a romantic setting, thus making it easier for both partners to enjoy sexual fulfilment. In fact, it will be sex unlimited, full of pleasure for the romantic couples.
