Time for Romance by Barbara Rainey I am my beloveds, and his desire is for me. Song of Solomon 7:10 So often, a man thinks romancing his wife means buying a certain gift or doing a certain thing or creating a certain situation. And, yes, all of these things can communicate romance to a woman. But romance for us is all about relationship and time, about feeling safe and accepted, about simply being together. So when I think of a true, romantic memory, Im taken back to one September when Dennis took a whole day off work--not to clean the garage or go fishing or catch up on some writing, but just to spend it with me and do whatever I wanted to do. We enjoyed a leisurely breakfast.We worked in the yard for a while, feeling the first cool snatches of fall through our flannel shirts. Then we went inside, cleaned up a little, hopped in the car and just took off. We drove for several hours, stopping where we wanted, doing what we wanted. And in a sense, it was almost like being on our honeymoon to me. For those few hours, we had no responsibilities. No one else to worry about. We were just out having fun together. On an autumn afternoon, I had Dennis all to myself, away from the everyday demands of work and parenting and pressure. We talked and laughed together all day long. It was absolutely wonderful. No, it wasnt the typical sweep-me-off-my-feet moment. I didnt feel like I was being carried to the castle to live happily ever after. It was much richer and sweeter and deeper than all of that. It was romance in its purest form, being chosen as my husbands delight, seeing his love for me in the joy he found by spending a day . . . just with me. Discuss Talk about what romance means to you. See how each of your ideas can come together. Pray Ask God to renew your desire for each others company and give you sheer delight in spending time together.
