That is pulling the plug from power. Romance is wonderful if it leads in God's direction. It is an emotional force that cannot be ignored by those who are involved or want to be. I am very tempted to call it a law, but that cannot be proved. It certainly is influenced by the law of sin.
Lets just call romance a mind set.
It is a mental reality that can influence all of the decisions in your life. Romance has a past, present and future, and it can cripple any or all of those time frames in a life. A very precious life given and planned by God to flourish and grow can be crippled, robbed of contentment and left for dead. This mind set can shape you, shock you, it can slay you. It can do some crazy things to your head.
