Quote: Emotional connection does NOT = ROMANCE _________________________________________________
I agree that all sex in marriage should have EC. Thank you for identifying that it doesn't mean romance. I assume you include in romance the Hollywood/Disney example (Prince Charming with music).
EC is the deep feelings you have that make you WANT to turn to each other. Without EC Wall-socket sex is impossible. Do I understand you correctly?
BTW, EC is what is destroyed by sexual rejection/refusal, IMO. It's the hardest thing to get back for someone whose love language is physical touch when they've been rejected sexually. But I'm differentiating and holding onto myself, so I'll get over it.
Mike - who has to be careful that holding onto himself doesn't become a sex act
