The fact that August 8-14 is National Resurrect Romance week has me thinking. First of all, who thinks up this stuff. And, how do you get a "National _____ Week" anyway? I can think of many "National ______ Week's" I'd like to see happen, but that's another whole blog.
Also, what about the premise of weddings being "romantic". So maybe I'm being a skeptic here. Weddings are pretty scripted, planned, organized and coordinated. With all the details involved they need to be. So with all that planning is it still romantic? If you are passionate about who you are marrying it is.
If you are passionate about how you are living your life you could be a very romantic single. We could be, if we tried, very romantic with ourselves. But generally we apply that term to how we treat our beloved. Maybe the key word is "treat". How do you treat your beloved? When was the last time you treated your beloved?
Plus the backbone of the National Resurrect Romance Week is that being romantic is not about how much money you can spend. It's about making a personal effort to be romantic. Thinking of them first and treating them. Frankly, those are the investments that pay off the best.
