Introduction / Part 1: Defining Romance
(Parental advisory: This message contains sensitive content)
NOTES:
Adam and Eve were put in a perfect garden, with a perfect relationship, and perfect fellowship with God and themselves. They had only Two Rules To Follow:
Eat As Much As You Want (Except From ONE Tree)
Have Lots and Lots Of Babies
Genesis 1:26-28
The Laws of Physics:
Dynamic (Growing)
Static (Grown)
Entropic (Dying)
All relationships are in one of these three phases. Anything not growing is dying.
Revelation 2:1-5
The Truth About Marriage Trouble
Long before serious marriage problems set in, the relationship has left the dynamic state. Like a car that begins to rust, and the shine is gone, it becomes:
-Unattractive
-Weak
-Inoperable
Q. What can I do to revive my marriage?
A. Romance-one of the most important but least understood areas of marriage. It is an ingredient in every successful courtship.
Many People Think:
-It is ONLY for women or it is a section in a bookstore.
TRUTH: It’s a deep need and desire for everyone.
-It is a feeling you can’t control (Mood).
TRUTH: It is an atmosphere YOU create and have total control over.
-It is seasonal extra, not a daily part of life.
TRUTH: It is an essential daily element in a successful marriage.
THE IMPORTANCE OF ROMANCE
Romance does 3 things for your relationships:
It is your Emotional Cornerstone.
Promotes and Protects your relationship
Closes the door on outside temptation.
1 Corinthians 7:1-9
THE CHEMICAL ELEMENTS OF ROMANCE
Meeting an Unspoken Need or Desire
When we “fall” in love we are
- Highly focused
- Pro-active
True Romance says:
You are on my heart.
I am paying attention to you.
The CORE issue:
We all want to be desired.
Romance is the language of desire.
Half-How I feel about you.
Half-How you make me feel.
Speaking Love In Your Spouse’s Language.
All Major Needs Are Different:
Men (top needs - no particular order):
Honor
Physical Act of Intimacy
Playmate
Domestic Support
Women (top needs - no particular order):
Security
Communication
Affection
Leadership
What Romance Looks Like -
For Her:
All Day Long
Slow Talking
Affection
For Him:
Naked
Sex
Honor
Fun
ROMANCE IS A LANGUAGE DEMONSTRATION NOT A LESSON.
Great marriages are bi-lingual.
LEARN to speak your spouses language
Communicating Unique Value To Your Spouse -
Two things are needed for success in this area:
Consistency
Communicated in different ways.
Verbally
Comparative (What I am willing to give up for you)
Contributed (what I want to give to the relationship.)
Creative (be unique)
APPLICATION:
ROMANCE is ESSENTIAL.
ROMANCE is for EVERYONE
ROMANCE is an ENVIRONMENT WE COMPLETELY CONTROL BY OUR WILL AND NOT OUR EMOTIONS.
ROMANCE IS:
-Meeting unspoken needs and desires.
-Speaking love in our spouses language.
-Communicating value to your spouse.
KEYS TO RENEWING YOUR ROMANCE
-Forgive your spouse.
-Focus on yourself and take responsibility for your own issues.
-Ask the Holy Spirit To Fill You Daily.
