A woman's heart is built for romance. God has created her to emulate and appreciate beauty, love, and romance. Every day He romances her heart---He calls her passionately, He pursues her ardently, He romances her passionately with flowers, sunsets, gifts, loves, miracles, and the death and resurrection of his Son. Think of to what great lengths God has gone to in order to pursue your wife's heart...this is because He created her and understands she needs constant romance!
What does the Bible say about romance and love?
So Jacob worked seven years to pay for Rachel. But his love
for her was so strong that it seemed to him but a few days. -Genesis
29:20
There are three things that amaze me— no, four things that I don’t
understand: how an eagle glides through the sky, how a snake slithers on a rock,
how a ship navigates the ocean, how a man loves a woman. -Proverbs
30:18-19
Many waters cannot quench love; rivers cannot wash it away. If one were to
give all the wealth of his house for love, it would be utterly scorned. -Song of
Solomon 8:7
