If you have not discovered and experienced the difference romance can make in your relationship, it is about time you did. While romance may not be easy to define, it is easy to recognize in action.

Speaking words of endearment to one another is arguably the simplest expression of romance. It is so basic, yet so powerful. It is so powerful that without a regular exchange of such words, romance cannot even be said to exist between two people.

The Bible tells us that our words are powerful enough to determine the courses of our lives. Words actually create the atmospheres of our lives. The Bible book of Songs Of Solomon portrays a relationship in which romantic words are freely exchanged between two people in love. It is a picture of a well-flavoured relationship.

Yes, there is room for loving confrontation and every other issue that need to be present in every relationship, but once the individuals take their eyes off the other person’s good qualities and stop speaking positive words, the relationship between them begins to degenerate. No, you don’t have to pretend that your partner is faultless. But you must let your love cover a multitude of sins. Bless your partner with positive affirmations of your love and commitment every single day. Make it a lifestyle. Praise your partner. Be appreciative. Be endearing.

As a man, you may not be an expressive person naturally, but that is no excuse for you to fold your arms. Your partner may show quite some measure of understanding and try to put up with it. But her inner desire to be lavished with pleasing words will remain unfulfilled. Again, men have generally presented a façade that gives the impression that they do not have a need to be romanced. That is all it is: a façade. It is an untruth similar to the lie that real men don’t cry. Ladies, pamper your men with affection and praise, and watch them glow!

Creating and sustaining an atmosphere of romance between you and your partner is like lubricating a car engine. It is not the primary thing, but it helps improve the performance of the whole system.

For singles in a courting relationship, there are logical, Bible-based limits to romance. Don’t do things that you will only regret later on. To the husband and wife: the highway of romance is yours. Start an “affair” with your spouse today and experience revival in your marriage!
