That is my point "Romance" as it is defined in this modern age is little more than seduction. While sometimes approached with"honorable" intent, and even "Godly" result. The method remains wrought with deceit and pretense,combine this with "chemistry" (very powerful stuff and equally transient and 'mind affecting') which fuddles what good sense a person might otherwise have and the consequences are ugly.
Observe if you will, the "honeymoon" phenomenon. The "seven year itch". How the death of romance is used so frequently as an excuse for infidelity, whether with another person, work, or other interests - even for divorce. How often in the very young it results in a loss of purity, severe depression - even suicide, unplanned pregnancy. All this can often be traced back to "romance".
And I stand on my statements about what romance did for Solomon.
