I watched "The Notebook" last night and thought about how she could love two different men for two different reasons but she could only choose one. I think I could fall in love everyday if the opportunity presented itself in the right package with the right ingredients; but would I still love them in a year, two, three?
There is a story in the Bible about one of king David's sons. He was so in love with a beautiful woman named Tamar and he wanted her so badly that he pretended to be very sick and his father came to him and asked him what he could do and he said send Tamar to bring and cook me food. So she was a virgin and she came and baked him cakes of bread and waited on him and he made his servants leave and shut the door and he grabbed her and forced her to have sex with him. She pleaded for him not to do this but to ask to marry her but he wanted her right then and so he raped her....now here is what really struck me.."THEN AMON HATED HER EXCEEDINGLY SO THAT THE HATRED HE HATED HER WITH WAS GREATER THAN THE LOVE HE HAD LOVED HER WITH AND AMON SAID ARISE, BE GONE! (2 Samuel 2:15)
Seems like when we get what we want sometimes the thrill is over, it was only the thrill of trying to obtain it.

i really do! why because they make me angry with my husband!
i watch all of the wonderfull things that these men do for their ladies and i can't help but think "why can't he be more like that".
i'm not talking about the stuff that costs a lot of money. i don't expect a dragon to be slain.
it's the little things, mostly it's the words that are said.
so i avoid watching them.
does watching romance movies have this effect on anyone else?

Boy, that is so true, Tekoa. You know, I had an "affair" that went on for a long time, but it didn't include any sex, until just before the end. After that, the thrill of the chase, or whatever, was gone. They mystery. And in reality, she and I, although we were madly in love with each other, probably had too little in common to survive long-term.
Anyway, TW, I don't mind romantic movies. I think I'm more romantic (more sentimental...an old softy) than my wife. Your statement has touched me though. I should, for my wife's sake, and for the sake of our marriage, try to do some more of those romantic little things for her. Thanks for this post. -

I love romantic comedies! They are always the perfect way to spend a weekend night alone or with someone else. But sometimes I get uncomfortable if there is alot of sex in them. Specially if my boyfriend is there or my parents. I usually end up blushing. -

HA Deb, husbands are watchin pornos thinkin the same thing!
I used to bring a rose home for no reason and get told we don't have money for that. I used to cook supper before she got home and she'd be hungry for something else. I used to do laundry and wholly hell everything you women wear has to be washed separately by an expert so that's impossible and another fight...uhm my point is sometimes we look like wasteful inconsiderate clods just trying to show our affection. -

p.s. I love you. . .I cried through the whole movie! I'm not kidding you! Then, even after the movie, for about 3 days, I couldn't even explain the movie to anyone without crying! Yes, I guess you could call it a comedy. . .but it makes you rethink your relationship with your spouse, what you need to appreciate, what is really important, what battles to choose. . .It's an excellant movie! -

If I read a romance story or see a romantic movie, I just remind myself that it's not real.........
For me.......it's really the simple things that mean the most.....too know i'm loved and thought of. -

Ah romance, no thank you. Give me a good mystery everytime. I was married to sometimes inconsiderate slob. I miss him everyday. He wasn't good about most of the things men do in movies but he did hug a lot. I miss foot rubs, jokes, home repairs and the ways he did show affection. Look for manly ways you might be missing. The hugs are best.
