GENERAL: What Do Romance Novels Teach Us?
  • becominwhole10becominwhole10 January 20

    As much as our notions of "Romance" affect our society, our culture, and EVEN our view of love taught at the pulpit on Sundays, maybe Romance Novels ain't that bad? :-}

    I thought this might be a fun, off-beat topic to discuss...especially from the women out there! I'm sorry if this might be a slippery temptation for some...it's not that I agree with everthing in this link, but there is some good food-for-thought. Any takers?

    Nice thoughts there, and some of the "take aways" were in contradiction I think to the romance fantasy presented. I think Christian ladies read Christian romance novels, not secular, but there are probably similarities of the two.

    I think there may be occasions where two people meet who are ideally suited for each other -- destiny, soul mates -- but I think its the exception. Most of us have to work at our relationships to keep them going, submitting to each other.

    Life is not like a romance novel.

    I was surprised to see there are actually constructive things to learn from a romance novel...some good guidance for life...
