Tale A Peak Inside… Chapter 1
The Mystery of Romance
What are your thoughts on Valentine’s Day? Do you genuinely cherish the day the Americans have chosen to celebrate love and romance? Do you? Take a moment to ponder—do you really enjoy it? Personally, I adore it! For some, it’s merely a day for cards, chocolates, and perhaps a bouquet of flowers. Others may enjoy a candlelit dinner or a night out at a nice restaurant followed by a movie. All of these delightful gestures contribute to the magic of the day! My hope is that this book will inspire you to cultivate love and romance not just on Valentine’s Day, but every single day. You’re about to discover how to truly love one another.
There’s an intriguing aspect of God that many of us overlook: He is, at heart, a romantic. Surprised by that revelation? After more than thirty-six years of serving Him, I’ve learned that He is not only spiritual and practical but also profoundly romantic. Where do you think the concept of romance originated? God is its author, my friends—the Original Romancer of humanity.
Why? Because, fundamentally, God is love. Love isn’t merely an action for Him; it’s His very essence. We are the objects of His love. So, how can you receive more love from God? It’s simple: spend intimate time with Him, and He will fill you with love for those around you. Why do we often complicate such a straightforward concept?
You might be wondering: what exactly is love and romance? Is it a magical blend of bubbles and candlelit dinners? Or a financial benchmark we must surpass? We all know it’s neither of those things.
Romance is a state of mind; it’s an atmosphere we need to cultivate together to nurture our relationship. Sometimes, we conflate romance with the fanciful portrayals we see in movies or read in well-meaning books. It’s crucial that we differentiate between genuine romance and the romantic ideals presented to us.
Numerous books offer detailed instructions from so-called marriage experts on how relationships function. While these instructions may work well for assembling a kid’s swing set, they often fall short when it comes to romance, which is unique to each relationship. You may have different preferences than your partner. Perhaps you enjoy a movie and a burger, while they prefer flannel pajamas over fancy lingerie. Your way of expressing romance doesn’t diminish your romanticism; it merely indicates that traditional romantic prescriptions might not resonate with you.
If there’s one piece of advice I could offer to couples—be they engaged, newlyweds, or married for over thirty years—it would simply be these four words: “Husbands, love your wives.” The Bible also contains various verses guiding wives on how to behave, show respect, honor, and submit. It’s essential for women to heed these passages as well.
But here lies the great mystery, and don’t you love mysteries? It’s a profound enigma that many grapple with, yet I know it’s divine when a husband loves his wife as God commands in Ephesians 5:25. This means giving oneself to her. No one fully comprehends it, which is why it remains a mystery. Yet, it’s fundamental for a successful marriage. Jesus embodies this love. Before I became a husband, I was a Christian. I vividly remember when the Holy Spirit drew me to Jesus; it was a beautiful moment I will never forget. Scripture tells us that we love Jesus because He first loved us, and the same principle applies in marriage. We didn’t initiate our love affair with the Lord—He pursued us until we responded to His love.
In marriage, when a husband initiates love toward his wife, she begins to believe she is genuinely loved, and in turn, she responds with her love. Jesus is the ultimate initiator of love, and we are responders. Husbands should initiate love, while wives respond.
So, does your marriage need a little boost in romance? Here it is: “Husbands…love your wives! Wives…respond to his love.” You’re going to love this book because we’ll equip you with everything you need to transform your marriage into a love story. As my wife and I celebrate our thirty-fifth wedding anniversary this coming year, we can confidently share what truly works. We’re not professional relationship experts with degrees lining our walls; instead, we bring thirty-eight years of life lessons, scars, and experiences to guide husbands in loving their wives and wives in submitting to their husbands. Those are the keys, my friend.
Of course, like most books, we’ll share romantic ideas that you can adapt to your unique relationship. Romance should be fun, not a stiff or uncomfortable obligation. What’s your idea of romance? My wife and I enjoy good food; what about you? Maybe its nature walks or long strolls on the beach. Perhaps a romantic movie or music resonates with you, or you enjoy shopping together. While I might find shopping tedious, it may be romantic for you. I once loved browsing bookstores, while my wife enjoys fancy kitchen gadget stores.
Romance should stem from the heart. “Long walks on the beach” can be a common romantic notion, but if that bores you, consider roller-skating or swimming instead. Do what makes you both happy. Romance should never feel obligatory; it must be a choice. That’s why I began this chapter discussing Valentine’s Day. If you find yourself thinking, “I have to do this because it’s Valentine’s Day,” then, my friend, you’ve lost the essence of romance!
Romance is all about choosing to please your partner in whatever way feels special for both of you. Don’t underestimate the power of sacred romance. Even simple gestures can have a profound impact. In raising six kids, I’ve learned that romance doesn’t have to be grand or expensive. The little, everyday actions can create cherished memories for years to come. True romance should feel safe, affirming to your partner that they are “the one.” It should be creative, spontaneous, and never embarrassing or off-putting.
Romance is something we give freely; it should never serve as a tool for manipulation. “I did this for you, so you owe me” should never be the mindset. Instead, we cultivate romance to bless our partners and demonstrate our love for them. A special scent, whether an oil or perfume, can also enhance the romantic atmosphere. A pleasant fragrance attracts and is a beautifully romantic gesture. My wife used to wear my favorite perfume as she left for work, and that scent would awaken me from a deep sleep.
The essence of romance goes beyond grand gestures or elaborate plans; it’s about the little moments that create a strong emotional connection between partners. Understanding that romance is a mindset allows couples to cultivate an atmosphere of love and intimacy in their daily lives. Here are some key elements to consider: Ultimately, romance is about creating a safe space where both partners feel valued, cherished, and understood. It’s about making intentional choices to prioritize each other and the relationship. By focusing on these elements, couples can cultivate a lasting, fulfilling romance that transcends special occasions like Valentine’s Day, becoming a part of their everyday lives.
As you journey through this book, keep an open heart and mind. Embrace the process of learning, growing, and discovering the unique rhythm of your relationship. With time, effort, and love, you can transform your partnership into a beautiful love story that continues to evolve.
