Do you believe in romantic love?

I'm starting to think theres only infatuation, and family/friend love, not romance. I have never seen a stable marriage in my life, and all these romances always fail for everyone. Is there such a thing as romance, or is it infatuation?

My parents are married, and so are all the parents of all my friends... They were all love marriages... sometimes yeah I kinda get discouraged, but I think romance is still alive... But that whole romantic in love feeling is a different thing, it only lasts at most 3 years... after that you gotta have something to take its place, and I think a lot of people forget that...

the romance doesn't have to die out. people forget that a marriage involves work. you have to work to keep that romance alive. a lot of people let it die instead of putting some effort into it. stuff like bringing home some flowers, buying a new perfume, pampering your spouse for the day...you have to do stuff like that to keep it alive.

the love that you have as a young couple does grow, tho. so as well as romance, you'll have this new respect for each other and I think it's a deeper love.

I think that there is a romantic love but with some people it don't last.a lot of people have a different opinion on love and what they want out of it but I believe that there is a romantic love!

I think that everyone can have there Cinderella Moment and I am still hoping for mine!

I am in love...so I do belive in it...I too was discouraged at the thought of even being able to fall in love till I actually did.I've been with my boyfriend for a little more than 3 years now...and although weve had our moments where we fight...I guess the way I can tell its true love is because everytime we kiss it still feels new and romantic.finnally being able to picture myself getting married and having children and growing old with some one...and knowing that through good times and tough times we can keep going together...thats love.
so yes it does exist...you just gotta find it.and like they said work on it.its not easy to keep a good relationship good...most people theses days are so wrapped up in getting everything at the speed of light they dont appreciate that love is one of the few things that can make time slow down.
I hope you dont become one of them

In my opinion, it could be both romance, and infatuation.
Its okay to be romantic when you do have a stable marriage. As long as your living by the commandments of god, living rightous, and have strong values and morals.
What I feel that isn't okay is when people start getting romantic before marriage and, that's not the right way to do that. As you have family and friends, its okay to look up to them for love as friends in Christ, and for support.

you can be romantic without being married. you can go on romantic strolls and be swept off your feet...it doesn't have to be physical...

I'm starting to think there's no such thing as love..

awwwe...

tear :'(

you guys are making this subject so depressing.

yes my grand parets have been 2 gether since when they were li 12 and alwaysz been a romantic couple

same with my grandparents it's almost their 51 anniversary!! ahahaha and my grandpa has planned a cruise for the both of them!! a romance between a couple (dating or married) will always only feel like it lasts a couple of months... and it's mainly, cause the two of you are new to eachother, you're both shy, so you want to spend all your time together and learn about one another!!... but as time passes...since you know eachother so much... you know one anothers flaws and bad habits!!...and you feel that your romance has died... but it hasn't!! - people let go so easily, without noticing that what they have then, is much more than what they had before!! it's acatually so much better when the two of you know eachother inside out!! all couples can't be smooth sailing all the time... you'll have your storms once in a while... it's weather if you can get throhgh the storm together that counts =) romance is out there... pray for it... and god will bless you with romance :D
