This is where I think so many people, in both sexes, go wrong. They think that passion should just "happen" without work. The idea passion needs to be cared for and nurtured in a relationship just doesn't seem "romantic" to some people. But to me action and expression indicate some amount of work and wouldn't my relationship with my husband be worthy of this work?
Good point. I think the problem some romantics have on their cynical days is that the "work" necessary doesn't seem to be in alignment with the values one would associate with pilgrim souls and velveteen rabbits or other ideals or sentimental notions. Therefore, they get bogged down in doing the "work" that doesn't "work" because the "work" that "works" is "wrong" and the "work" that they wished "worked" but doesn't is the "right" "work".
