Flavors of Love
Such is the power of love in gentle mind, that it can alter all the course of kind. Edmund Spenser (1552?–1599), British poet. SOURCE: Bartleby.com
This weekend, like most weekends, I finished some course work (I’m working on my degree in education) while my ten-year-old daughter whined about folding laundry, my son whipped through his chores to squeeze in a bit of computer game time, my eight-year-old worked quietly on cleaning her room and my six-year-old dusted everything from the TV’s to the terriers. Lickey and Lola, the terriers, did what they could to avoid being dusted.
Then we popped some salty-sweet kettle corn and curled up with a couple of movies. As usual, at about scene three my son complains there isn’t enough weaponry and waaaaaaaay too much mushy stuff. After the second movie he remarked, “Why does every movie have love in it, even the Kung Fu ones?”
While my explanation didn’t quite satisfy my son’s conspiracy theories, it should make sense to the rest of us.
-There is power in love.
-It touches everyone’s lives in some way.
-Because of that, we can all relate to it.
-Which means, it’s a good way to connect to your reader (or viewer).
This is why you’ll find goo-goo eyes & gunfights; cuddling & clowning around; kisses & Kung Fu; or sweet nothings and sci-fi.
We have the advantage. Since we already enjoy the romance genre this should give us the courage to add the flavoring of other genres to our written work.
Like adding a bit of pepper instead of salt to your popcorn, you’ll gain a new flavor. You'll gain some extra experience, and gain some extra readers – except for, perhaps, my son.

My wife and I have been married forty years. I hope you and your husband will still have the love for each other after that time as we do. This is my attempt to chronicle our time together.

Those 5 Things I Wish I Knew Before I Married My Husband were great. Funny, but so true.  Your advice about getting counseling before marrying is a good one. But it only works if both parties are honest with their answers (and questions). Men and women are different, by God's design. Women read and read and read some more, trying to understand. Oh that men would do the same...

Another great newsletter! Oh, boy, yes to asking questions before and during marriage, and yes to the humor and seriousness of it all! Though I never had any, I really, really admire the premarital counseling I have heard of through churches. Both practical and spiritual. Hmmm, next time? Uh, probably there is no next time for me! But I still love romance!

Holly, a delightful editorial. This is one of the joys (and often arguments), faced by married couples - those little details that can only be found out by intimate association. After 7.5 wonderful years of marriage, my hubby and I still manage to surprise each other. Hugs, Puditat

I have one point to ponder about marriage, and that is respect. When I was a kid I used to hear arguments of my parents, sometimes screamings and plates thrown away. It was traumatic. But there was one thing that struck me as a kid, and for which I attribute it to my Papa - that is his respect for my Grandma, her mother-in-law. Our house then was just adjacent to Grandma's house, and when the two were fighting, Grandma wouldn't intervene. But the moment Papa would hear her voice, he'd tone down and settle it with Mama.
Respect - a key ingredient in any relationship! Thank you all for your fantastic feedback  It keeps me energized!
