Mormon Life says: The proper role of romance in a relationship.
In the late 1950’s, a man was stirred by the soul of a woman in his ward. He couldn’t get this woman off his mind. He discussed the matter with his Bishop. He had only spoken to her once. The story winds and meanders for a couple of months, and ends with the boy and the girl sitting in the Bishop’s office. The boy still hadn’t had a proper conversation with the girl.
The Bishop told them to get married.
Three weeks later, they were husband and wife.
Still happily married.
There is a heavy value in today’s society placed on romance. We sing about it, write about it, make movies about it. We herald it as a cause worthy of death. We spend billions of dollars watching movies that involve woo-ing. The romance novel industry is another billion dollar enterprise. It would seem we all want to know and believe that romance is alive and well, that a kind of love still exists that makes your tie flap, your knees weak, and your head woozy.
