Are Christian men romantic?
Posted : 14 Apr, 2010 06:56 PM

I'm wanting to ask the guys (or girls) if Christian men are romantic. In a class on relationships for the divorced and single women in the church, the pastor said that we shouldn't expect roses and romance- that romance is the worldly way. What is your take on this?

Romance is worldly???



HELP!!





I am expecting my future Christian husband to surpass anything that the world has to offer in the romance stakes - lol



something as simple as the way your "other" looks at you can be very romantic - romance really doesn't have to be about flowers and chocolates..





I think some people can get too legalistic about what a husband and wife should do....wonder if anyone told Sarah and Abraham how to conduct their married life.....



feelings should always be from the heart and even more so with a Christian husband and wife - Song Of Solomon is a beuatiful picture of a marriage between man/wife and God/church....

Just because Pre- marrital is wrong, romance, in my opinion, is an important thing, especially these days, Yeah, you may get the girl you intersted in, but if you're not romantic, and show her how much you love and care for her, how I ask,do you expect her to stay interested in you?

I think Romance is a God's idea. Is not good? Of course if someone's going to go out of their way to make it not God glorifying, well then... It's kind of self explanatory.



I think Christian men are romantic. If anything they should be the most romantic people on earth.



I mean, they have direction from the maker Himself about how they should be treating His daughters.



I have no doubt that when I finally meet my husband-to-be, I will stand amazed. NO DOUBT!!!



PS. Ladies, if you yourself with a man who's not as romantic as you'd like... Take it to the Lord!!!

Hi, I know your post is quite old, but when I read it, I just wanted to put my two cents in. :)



To me, romance in a dating relationship should be very limited... it should be reserved for once there is a serious commitment (such as engagement or marriage). I think this can help two people be more focused on learning about one another and seeing if they are a good fit. It's so easy to get carried away emotionally.



That being said, I wholeheartedly agree with the idea that a lot of different things can be romantic. Personally, I think that romance grows slowly through mutual respect and interest... as you get to know someone, you become aware of their preferences and you seek to please them. To me, that is when you know you are truly falling in love.



Lastly, I want to say that I would not be very interested in a man who wanted to be intimate (even emotionally/romantic wise and not physically) too soon. Small gestures, sure... but, if it's the second or third date and he's showering me with wine and flowers etc. etc., it tells me he's willing to give those things, that treatment to just about anyone (since he doesn't really know me yet). Thus, it just doesn't mean very much. Except to be wary...



When the right time comes, yes, I expect to be very romantic with my husband (both of us). Just my two cents.
