CHAPTER XIX
ROMANTIC LOVE
Someone asks: "Should love always be romantic?"
Some people are never romantic, do not care for romance, and still make reasonably happy marriages. But if you have imagination, you will want romance in your life. Love itself is so bewilderingly beautiful, when genuine, that romance seems an inevitable part of it. And a happy marriage, of the ideal type, is nothing less than heavenly.
Lovers when married like to look back to the time they first met and to other times and situations; and when happily married they like to look forward to an eternity of happiness with one another. That is real romance.
