Thank you for the compliment on my story!  I am now a member of the
RFA  (Romantic Fire Association) , and I guess, ARC.  If you write a
story of your own, you can be a member too!

I think that it's time to put An Invitation to rest.  It's been fun

I hope you don't mind a "lurker" trying to answer this question.


> What is love?

This is a tough one. It's one of those intangables that seem to defy,
concrete definition. I suppose the only way to get a handle on what it
is to describe it. I stumbled on the following poem a few years ago; It 
seems to describe what love is far better than I could ever.

---------------------------------

	LOVE  -- By Roy Croft

I LOVE YOU,
Not only for what you are,
But for what I am
When I am with you.

I love you
Not only for what
You have made of yourself,
But fo what
You are making of me.

I love you
For the part of me
That you bring out;
I love you
For putting your hand
Into my heaped-up heart
And passing over
All the foolish, weak things
That you can't help
Dimly seeing there,
And for drawing out
Into the light
All the beautiful belongings
That no one else had looked
Quite far enough to find.

I love you because you
Are helping me to make
Of the lumber of my life
Not a tavern
But a temple;
Out of the works
Of my every day
Not a reproach
But a song.

I love you
Because you have done
More than any creed
Could have done

To make me good,
And more than any fate
Could have done
To make me happy.

You have done it
Without a touch,
Without a word,
Without a sign,
You have done it
By being youself.
Perhaps that is what
Being a friend means,
After all.

---------------------------------


> What is romance?

This one is easier. It's the part of love that makes it more exciting
and fun. It's the sharing, dreaming, planning, playing, flirting, 
silliness, and the little surprises that create memories of a 
relationship that last a lifetime. It makes each day different than 
the one before, and turns a relationship into an adventure.



> What is the difference between love and romance?

True love does not need romance to survive. When terminal illness, or
some other crisis hits one of those in love, there might not be opportunity
to have romance, yet their SOs continue to care for and love their SOs.
Sometimes these crises even strength love because both of those in love
have forgotten just how important their SOs are to them.



> What are the similarities between love and romance?

Romance certainly enhances love. I allows those in love to find out 
more about the playful side of their SOs, and allows those in  love 
to be playful without fear of looking foolish. I brings new life to 
a relationship already full of vitality.



Take care,
  Robert

First of all, Welcome to ARCland James.  As for your posting, I can't
say that I have been in love more than once.  However, I did truly
love my last boyfriend and have not been involved with anyone since him.
However, I am keeping the faith.  I do not buy into the idea of "one
lid for every pot".  I think human beings have the capacity to fall in
love numerous times, although it is never exactly the same twice.  Who
knows, maybe you won't find anyone else, but I have a feeling that there
is a good chance you will.

HEY!  We're not THAT bad.  Afterall, Steve's son occasionally reads this

Gosh, this was a hard one for me.  Steven is very complimentary and there
are so many things.  Certianly, the beautiful 5 part wedding post was a
compliment and the description of the flames from the fireplace and the
words he spoke there.  Then, there was the lovely Love Grows post that
brought tears to my eyes...where he told the world how much I meant to him.
So many beautiful memories already!

I suppose the most recent one was where he told me I drove him crazy.  Now,
at face value, that might not seem like a nice thing to say to someone.  But,
when you understand the circumstances.....at night, in our bed where we
share so much of ourselves and our lives, being held tightly in his arms,
and the comment being followed by a low growl and being tossed over on my back
and kissed until I couldn't breath.... 

....yeah, I'd say that was a romantic compliment..one I shall always cherish...

I TOLD you...so I could take care of YOU for a change.

Ok...here's how it is...

I'm having surgery next month to take care of a pesky problem I'm having.
Steven has been an angel waiting on me hand and foot, asking me all the time
how I feel, giving me cards, flowers, making me tea.  I'm so flattered by
all this extra-special attention.  He shows me a lot of attention all the
time, but lately, its been more direct.  SOOOOoooo, I was trying to make
the point that if he got enjured in some way, I would be very happy to take
care of him.  And for Steven, it would have to be major serious because he
likes to play tough guy when he's only hurt moderately....like the thigh
muscle he pulled Monday.  He won't let me do things for him.  So, if he got
enjured seriously, *I* would get the chance to shower him with extra-special
attention like he is me?

Does that make sense?

I would never in a million years want anything seriously bad to happen to
the most wonderful husband in the world.  So, ARCland can rest assured that
things are fine in Salter Paradise!
