a romance that is visible

"Parent's ability to communicate their worldview to their children is mostly bound up in their personal relationship to each other. If Mother and Father have a romance that is visible, a joy that is uncontained, and a passion that is enviable, their children will want to travel the same road in hopes of reaping the same fruit in their own lives."

Jumping Ship, Michael Pearl

I am no expert and I have not finished the book yet.  This excerpt spoke to me however and I think that only good things can come from unbridled joy and visible romance, so those are excellent places to start. 

Visible romance this week? While I was blogging the video yesterday, husband had already run to pick up flowers, just because, on the way to the ball field to cover practices for a sick wife. In blue. Why? Because he thought that they would go with the dishes I love – though he loves them less. : ) 

  thank you

  1. I dont think its as formulaic as it might sound. I never lived with both my parents. Never saw romance in person. Nor real faith. But grace intervened. What he seems to rail against is joyless, rules-based families. Urges us to live with a contagious joy in whatever state we are in.
