A Romance Blog for Grown-ups

Hello. I love romance. I love romance books. I love looking for romance in pop culture. On a deeper note, I am spending much of my thought time wondering at the intersection of romance, culture, religion and history
So what does that mean for this blog? Glad you asked!

Firstly, I am a glass half full person about some things. I'd like to discuss, in a serious way, positive descriptions of marriage in popular culture, primarily books.  So I'll talk about romance books that are interesting to me. I have a special interest in Christian romance, as I have seen little, if any serious critique or discussion of it.

Secondly, I am very interested in the depictions of male/female relationships in pop culture, music, the gossip rags, etc.  Brad Pitt, Prince Harry, Jennifer Lopez, all are fair game. The way in which these relationships are depicted, can tell you alot about how the culture defines love and marriage.

Lastly, I am interested in religion and history because any serious discussion of marriage must take these subjects into account.
So....what famous couple do you think epitomizes romance at its finest?
Next Topic: Tom and Gisele! (Seriously)
