Our expectation of what romance is probably dated from the Romantic period. It was an artistic, literary, musical and intellectual movement that is derived from Europe in the 18th century. The notion of falling in love, getting married and living happily ever after were culturally held ideas formed during this period and still exist today. Of course there’s nothing wrong with liking the idea of romance. It makes us feel good, but we must be careful not to use it as a standard for our own relationships. This ideal version of love leaves out the essence of real-life relationships.
There’s usually work, finances and other stresses of everyday life to deal with. You can’t expect romantic gestures like a bunch of red roses every day. There are bills to pay! Many popular love stories end at the point where the characters get together or tie the knot. That puts the focus on finding someone special. But very few show us how to keep that perfect catch over a long period of time. A relationship is hard work.
It’s frustrating, messy and can be emotionally damaging. If you’re still convinced romance isn’t dead, how will you ever find it? Some people might think nowadays romance is dying because it has become too easy to meet new people via dating apps. Perhaps romance is best left to the movies. It’s a fantasy that makes us feel good.
Romance is full of love, concentrating on finding a good and healthy relationship with its ups and downs. Do you believe romance really exists?
Questions 19 to 21 are based on the passage you have just heard.
