Treasures of Life

I have been happily married for the last 4 years and have enjoyed every minute of my married life. The other day I was watching TV and happened to watch a program on marriage. This program was basically telling women to kiss goodbye to any romantic date ideas because apparently after marriage, there is no room for romance. Those candle lit dinners; romantic poems and dinner dates were part of the golden courtship days and would never return. I turned off the TV thoroughly annoyed by the program because I knew this to be untrue.

I remembered the golden courtship days, indeed my sweetheart had completely wooed me. I was English major and so was he. He would write me a romantic poem every other week. The very sound of his voice reading the poems would give me Goosebumps. Infact, I realized I was less romantic than he was. Tom would surprise me every weekend with unthinkable romantic date ideas. His dates were always unique and so much fun; there was no wonder why I fell in love with him!

After reminiscing over our courtship, I reflected on my married life and I realized, indeed the program was far from true. Tom had not given up on romantic date ideas. Even after our wedding, Tom had managed to surprise me on plenty of occasions with romantic poems, bouquets of flowers, spontaneous out of town trips etc. Tom in many ways is the one still responsible for romance in our marriage. While I may allow romance to die, I wonder, can Tom ever allow romance to die?
