The Romance Thread
 
I must confess that I am a hopeless romantic at heart. I still love to date my wife, and love holding her hand after almost 20 years of marriage. She hears me tell her how pretty she is several times a day, and a day does not end that I have not said "I Love You" numerous times.

She is everything to me. It is not a hard thing to love her as Christ loves the Church. I truly feel that if need be, I would give my life in exchange for her safety.

With that said, one of the things that I use to cultivate our love is music. I am not talking about songs that generate passion and lust, but songs that cause you to want to just sit close to your spouse and look into each others eye's. I really feel that some marriages would be stronger if more time was given to this type of relationship building. Love songs are a beautiful thing, and they often minister to the heart in a sometimes spiritual way.

For better or worst, I am just a romantic at heart. My life would be incomplete, and my house would not be a home, if my lovely wife was not there.

Thanks Matt for starting this thread.

I have to confess that I did not like what you wrote.

I was a very Hopeless romantic. I still watch "Chic Flicks" with my wife and get teary eyed.

But.....some were along the way I have become more of a father and Provider of the family that I have forgotten I am my wifes husband, lover and friend.

Trace Eliot said it well in his song:

You all at AFF are friends and I covet your prayers because

I want to be the man my wife fell in love with.



I Wanna Feel Something Lyrics
Artist(Band):Trace Adkins Review The Song (2) Print the Lyrics




If you're tellin me Im not on fire
Youre just preachin to the choir
Ive gotten dull as old barbed wire from livin
Last night I watched the evening news
It was the same ol nothin new
It should have cut me right in two
But it didnt
I dont know why it didnt

But I wanna feel somethin
Somethin thats a real somethin
That moves me, that proves to me Im still alive
I wanna heart that beats and bleeds
A heart thats bustin at the seams
I wanna care, I wanna cry, I wanna scream
I just wanna feel somethin

If youre tellin me thats just how it is
I dont buy it cause once I was kissed
By a red-headed girl with cherry lips
On her porch when I was sixteen
And I felt it somewhere in my soul and time stood still and I couldnt let go
I cant tell you cause I dont know how I got so cold
When did I get so cold

[Chorus:]
I just wanna feel somethin
Somethin thats a real somethin
That moves me, that proves to me Im still alive
Run my fingers through your fingers, across your face and through your hair
And close my eyes and breathe you in like air
I just wanna feel somethin

I hate that Im jaded and I make you cry
But still you stick around me, only God knows why
*edit*all to hell, Im done
Cause I dont like what Ive become
So come here, baby
Come here, baby

[YT="I Will be Here"]pEwzUZET[/YT]

Tomorrow mornin' if you wake up
And the sun does not appear
I...I will be here

If in the dark we lose sight of love
Hold my hand and have no fear
'Cause I...I will be here

I will be here...
When you feel like bein' quiet
When you need to speak your mind
I will listen
And I will be here
When the laughter turns to cryin'
Through the winnin' and losin' and tryin'
We'll be together
'Cause I will be here

Tomorrow mornin' if you wake up
And the future is unclear
I...I'll be here

Just as sure as seasons are made for change
Our lifetimes are made for years
I...I will be here

I will be here....
You can cry on my shoulder
When the mirror tells us we're older
I will hold you

And I will be here
To watch you grow in beauty
And tell you all the things you are to me
I will be here

I will be true
To the promise I have made
To you and to the
One who gave you to me

I...I will be here

And just as sure as seasons are made for change
Our lifetimes are made for years
'Cause I...
I will be here....
We'll be together

'Cause I will be here

You goombas! Now you've ruined it for all of us cowboys out here.

I miss my wife... these schedules have got to change. We talk more through IM than any other way.

Rhoni 12-05-2007 05:06 AM

Romance is subtle and sweet:
* a shared look
* a smell
* a remembered time and place
* a song
* a season
* a kiss

Romance is being comfortable, sitting by the fire, sharing hot cocoa, and throwing marshmallows at each other.

Romance is holding hands as you drive in the car.

Romance is a gift under your pillow.

Romance is a lost art among most.

"I Would Not Be Denied" really gets things going at our house, but there aren't any videos of it on Youtube.

I also resisted posting about my romanticism on the "Things I am at Good At" thread!

revrandy 12-05-2007 07:22 AM

Romance is more than candles....kisses...and hugs.....

It's also the Make Out session when your done with an arguement...

It's pulling hair and teasing....

It's knowing what each other is thinking on same subject...

Romance isn't born overnight....but endures each other thru storms and trials....

Romance is when you can look into each others eyes and see what others can't...

Romance is when you can hurt each other's feeling and say your sorry..and be forgiven....

Romance at times is sticky candies but at other times sour grapes....but when they come together sometimes sweet and sour works out...

Romance is greater than feelings....it is intimate secrets shared that no other will ever know....

Just some of my thoughts of what true romance is....
