Love and Romance

Everyone knows that love and romance does not end at fifty . . . maybe that is where it starts for some. This group is dedicated to those wishing to share romantic ideas and thoughts. This can be fun as well as helpful. One minor stipulation: Please keep it 'G' rated as I blush easily.

If you want real romance, instead of two people living together, you have to understand love.
When you love someone, you place them first in your life. This is not a new concept, but we act like it might be.

Often I have talked to couples with one or both telling me the other one just does not wish to do this, do that, go here, desire this, etc. (I am talking about more than sex.)

If you really love someone, they are in first place . . . ahead of you. This means you have their desires foremost in mind, not your own. Tough? Yes, especially when this is not reciprocated.

As to the above picture and having sex?

  • Do not force, ridicule or nag your lover into doing something they do not wish to do.
  • Find what your lover really likes and go from there . . . as long as you agree with it.
  • Help them to understand the why's and the why not's. If you do not try to explain, it will cause resentment.
  • Guys, do not be in such a doggone hurry. Romanticize your lover . . . and not just in bed.
  • Above all, play fair.

One of the things I do is to read to my wife while in bed. I tried the colored pencils on her body, but . . . never mind. Actually, I read at night. Something about the sound of my voice puts her to sleep.

Keep the bedroom as a place to romance your lover and to sleep. If you spend a lot of time watching television or being on the computer in the bedroom, it becomes more of a den or family room.

Okay, enough said. Now get to work.
