Romance In The Second Marriage

I found true romance in my second marriage. But, it wasn't a marriage based on infatuation, lust, or love. Yes, we loved each other, but we both had life goals that we wanted met. My husband is very romantic. He is affectionate, far more than I am.

I am a pragmatic person. We both invested a lot of time, years, into researching good relationships and love. In fact, we both came to the realization that we were as responsible for the death of our first marriages as our spouses were.

I often wonder why the schools teach about sex, but they don't teach about romance. In fact, if I had been able to take a few courses on healthy relationships, parenting, and personal development, then I would have 'never' married my first spouse. I would have made fewer mistakes. I would have reached higher and set loftier goals.

There is one thing we learned in the last few years. Love is not what you feel when you get married. That possessive, gushy feeling, is not true love. The real type of love grows as it is nurtured. It is something that needs to be cared for and grown - like a rose bush.
