By Gina Kovacs Ah, the hustle and bustle of life. Going to and fro in search of knowledge and thingsroutines that never miss a beat, the constant exhaustion at the end of a long day. The waking up to a Monday morning wishing for an extra hour of sleep. Sound familiar? You go to bed on one side of the bed and your spouse the other. A quick goodnight (unless there is a good show on T.V.), a peck on the check, and off to Neverland. Every night only to greet the routine of the next day. Sadly enough, most couples land in this all-too familiar category unintentionally. Yes, unintentionally. In the hustle and bustle of busy days, we forget the longing looks to our mate, the knowing smile, the warmth of a touch that lets each other know that their union is one of desire and will. We are caught in the most chaotic time that I know of; trapped in a go and must-do attitude, forgetting to live life to the fullest. Forgetting passion, desire, need, craving and yes, expression of love. As people who feel every feeling imaginable, we need to express and feel love to be alive. And whom more to express that ultimate feeling with than your spouse whom you committed yourself to before God? I remember watching a movie once that starred Michael J. Fox where he and his co-star were sitting in a restaurant and the waitress said express, dont repress. Expressing feelings of love with your spouse brings to life the very heart and soul of living. And while I could easily expound on living life to the fullest and loving in the most general of terms, I want to address the love to your spouse. Sometimes, as life moves with your spouse from month to month and year-to-year, the daily life cycle and roles that are played cloud over all the very reasons why your heart was lost within the person you are next to every night. Age does not matter. I know, for just a moment, you may pause to think that you are perhaps just a little too old to show a romantic gesture to your spouse? But does romance stop at a particular age? In short, no. Romance is the art of expression. And while we could go further to discuss a physical connection, romance is the forefront of an ignition of feelings that carries across time itself; that leads the heart to feel and be in the most exquisite of ways. To express romance is to feel the warmth of your heart for the other; it is memories of the silly times, the hard times, the passionate times. Romance is in the touch of the others skin, the caress of the face, the soft kiss on the lips for those memories you shared. Romance is in the rose you buy for no other reason than to see a smile on her face and the surprise of your expression of love. It is in the coffee you bring to him while he sits in his all-too familiar chair because of a wanting to please him. Romance is an expression of life, love, and memories. A need and feeling that can not be described to another because it is unique to you. It is shopping for groceries together and laughing over the selection of ice cream. It is the embrace at night as your arms slide over your spouse like the most precious treasure you own. It is in the candle-lit dinner that you share after the children have gone off to bed. Or the warmth of a glance across the family dinner table as you celebrate being with your children whom you created together. In the hustle and bustle of our days, we forget the celebration of life and love and the deepest appreciation for what you share with the person whom you stood with on the alter before God, your families and community. Romance is celebration; passion and recollection of the past and dreams of the future that has yet to exist. It is in the possibilities that you can share with your spouse and the comfort of knowing this person will be there come rain or shine, through highs and lowsyour most precious of gifts that God could ever bestow on you. True, there are times when romance is tested. Tension abounds from time-to-time most commonly over finances or children. But such times are moments and moments come and go and still the one you love is there before you. It is so easy to sum up the wholeness of your relationship with another because of tense times, times that can build and build like a mountain of troubles that are held for recollection. Nothing comes from such feelings and rather holds your life back from experiencing the wonders that life has to offer. When storms shake your marriage, it is the sweet memories that have been exchanged that must be recalled, letting go of this heavy mountain, so you may embrace the one you love truly, completely, and passionately. Romance is easy because to give is the easiest thing that a person can do. Give of our time because we desire to do so for the one we love. In giving to our spouse, we receive so much in return. We know that we have brought pleasure to the one who has given so much back in return. We give of ourselves knowingly and completely. With saying good morning, goodnight, how much love you feel for them, how much you care for them, it is in the expression of your heart that romance is lit. Express, dont repress. Show your children that romance burns for the one you love. Shower your family with the joy of the love you feel for your spouse. Enjoy a slow dance in front of the fireplace or a glass of wine outside on the porch at night, looking at the stars and holding hands with fine appreciation at the beauty around you. And let me also say, on that note, that expressing as a form of communicating does wonders not only for your spouse, but for you as well. You dont need to hear I love you from your spouse before you respond you love them. Celebrate your love with words. From romantic to exotic, words are a wonderful expression of who you are. Words are very powerful. I love you or the famous You complete me means so much when you say it with feeling because you want to and not because you have to. My husband remarked to me recently how wonderful it was when I used the word honey. In my expression of love for him, I use it often. It is endearing for me to say it and lets the world know and indeed, my husband know, that he is special and precious and that he is the only person whom I use the term with. We cuddle at night and laugh over silly shows; I buy him Hostess snacks and hide them in his dressing room drawers so he can grab a snack at night. I can smile as I think of all the things I do and say. Back massages at night as he stands often during the day and his muscles become sore. The shirt I buy for no reason than I feel it will please him. Isnt it remarkable that just such a small token of affection can bring so much joy? How powerful are words that say I care can be? No my friends, romance is not about age or length of time you have been together. It is about past memories, your commitment, your love for your spouse and your expression of that love that is the very heart of romance. Live each day with romance! Live with passion!
