Romance vs Love
Romance vs Love: Don’t confuse them
Love is non-negotiable for a relationship to be healthy, meaningful and long-lasting.
Romance is awesome, but negotiable and looks different for different people.
You want both
Love looks like: Thoughtfulness, affection, laughter, safety, trust, peace, being yourself, kindness, steadiness, reliability, calm, warmth, mutual reciprocity, collaboration, partnership, growth, understanding, appreciation, friendship, gentleness, care, flexibility, emotional availability, presence, stability, fulfillment, honesty, dependability.
Romance looks like: Intensity, Flowers, trips, dinners, cute social media pictures, heightened emotion, passion, thrills, excitement, adventure, poetry, dramatic gestures, breakfast in bed.
Your ideal relationship will have a firm foundation of love with the right amount of romance mixed in
Where there’s no love, there’s no chance for a long-term healthy relationship - Make it a hard no.
Make a list of what love looks like to you.
Make a separate list of what romance looks like (Every single one of my clients had a different answer for what romance would look like for them - you decide, don’t let external sources set unrealistic expectations for you)
Make love the first consideration and a deal breaker in any relationship
Choose someone who is a match for quantity and quality of romance you want - you decide
Never settle for a relationship that has romance without love
Or, worse, a relationship devoid of both romance and love
