Treasures of Life

The most important role of romance novels is to save the marriages from breakage and wreckage. Majority of religions and customs of the world advocate monogamy. It is said that marriages are the permanent form of monogamous erotic relationship.

But in the course of shorter span the partners find the grammar of their monotonous married life changed. The ‘past perfect’ changes to ‘present tense’. And the future sits on the fence to frighten with devil of polygamy or demon of divorce. Hitherto loving persons turn into the ‘hitter to’ each other. Jesting changes into wrestling. Coaxing transforms to boxing.

We apply the dictum with our convenience in our married life. ‘Everything is fair in love and war’. But we ignore or forget the hidden meaning, Lover looks fairer if love sustains. Lover looks crueler if war is waged.

Man and woman forget to control and regulate the current of their passion and to direct it towards each other. As soon as the physical attraction is extinguished, the enmity manifests. The power of mutual craving ceases to operate.

And to combat with this repulsion, we explore many romantic ideas in the romance novels. We learn win-win techniques. Both the partners accept the formula of ‘head I win and tail you lose’. Antipathy is again brought to its dormancy. Perversion transforms into the poetry of love Contradiction converts into coquetry of love
