It describes 64 types of sexual acts.

Romance is a general term that refers to an intimate and often sexual relationship between two people.

LOVE??

Greek philosophers and authors had many theories of love, some of which are presented in Plato’s Symposium where six Athenian friends including Socrates drink wine and each give a speech praising the deity Eros. When his turn comes, Aristophanes says in his mythical speech that sexual partners seek each other because they are descended from beings with spherical torsos, two sets of human limbs, genitalia on each side, and two faces back to back. Their three forms included the three permutations of pairs of gender (i.e. one masculine and masculine, another feminine and feminine, and the third masculine and feminine) and they were split by the gods to thwart the creatures’ assault on heaven, recapitulated, according to the comic playwright, in other myths such as the Aloadae.[13] This story is relevant to modern romance partly because of the image of reciprocity it shows between the sexes. In the final speech before Alcibiades arrives, Socrates gives his encomium of love and desire as a lack of being, namely, the being or form of beauty. Deleuze linked this idea of love as a lack mainly to Freud, and Deleuze often criticized it.

Only One...

According to many philosophers, the only goal of life is to be happy. And there is only one happiness in life: to love and be loved. Love is essentially an abstract concept, much easier to experience than to explain.

Yes, I do know he is 20 years older than me, but age is not an issue with us.
He loves me for everything that I am, flaws and all; and I love him the exact same way.
Our families do not support our relationship, although they are glad that we are finally, truly happy.
I don't mind telling people how we met, because we met at a time in our lives where we were both ready to give up.
We met in the psychiatric hospital on January 26, 2009. We were both there for depression and suicidal ideation. We literally saved each others lives. I'm proud of us for making it this far.
We have now been together for 5 months, and we are engaged to be married.
We could not be happier in our relationship.

I LOVE YOU STEPHEN!
